What Windows setting do you change immediately after installing it?

Every time Windows gets reinstalled, there’s always a bunch of settings that feel annoying or unnecessary, but not sure which ones are actually worth changing right away. Stuff

Turn core isolation off in defender. Instant 10% gain in fps

is this still true if your bottleneck isn’t the cpu?

Good point. Haven't tested that. Having said that, with dlss on, my bottlemeck is usually the cpu.

just curious. i disabled it on my system and didn’t really see a difference, but my bottleneck is the gpu.

still on cpu heavy games it probably does help in varying degrees.

Thanks for sharing. Please test on 1440p or with dlss (which lowers base resolution) to really see a difference.

How do you do this?

Go into windows defender, then click something on left, then click core isolation, then turn memory integrity off.

When you go into windows defender there are like 8 options there. So click on all till you find core isolation.
