Windows 11 Non-Touch Gaming Optimizer

Purpose-Built for Non-Touch Gaming Rigs

Everything you need to squeeze maximum FPS, lower latency, and reclaim resources on Windows 11 desktops and laptops without touch hardware.

A comprehensive, menu-driven batch script to optimize Windows 11 for maximum gaming performance on non-touchscreen desktops and laptops. All changes are logged and reversible with built-in undo functionality and automatic restore point creation.

Core Optimizations

Debloat Windows 11: Remove consumer apps (Bing News/Weather, Clipchamp, Office Hub, Solitaire, TikTok, Spotify, Disney+), OEM bloatware, and promotional content while preserving Xbox Game Bar.
Disable Touch/Pen Features: Remove unnecessary touch, pen, ink, and handwriting components for desktop gaming systems.
Gaming Performance Tweaks: Ultimate Performance power plan, Game Mode enabled, GPU scheduling, input optimizations, Game DVR disabled.
Service Optimization: Reduce background CPU/RAM usage from telemetry (DiagTrack), indexing (Windows Search to manual), and SysMain (Superfetch).
Network Optimizations: Lower ping/latency with TCP/IP tweaks (auto-tuning, ACK frequency, MaxUserPort 65534), disabled delivery optimization, and removed throttling.
Visual Effects: Disable animations and transparency for better FPS - all visual effects set to "Best Performance".
Startup Optimization: Faster boot times with disabled Fast Startup delays and reduced startup tasks.

Advanced Features

GPU & Storage Optimization: 20+ GPU latency registry tweaks, SSD optimizations (TRIM enabled, defrag disabled, last access updates disabled), smart HDD/SSD detection.
CPU & Memory: Core parking disabled (all cores active), optimized page file based on RAM amount, memory compression enabled, paging executive disabled.
Audio Latency Reduction: High-priority audio processing for gaming and streaming with optimized multimedia system profile.
Mouse/Keyboard Input: Disable pointer precision (mouse acceleration), increased polling queue sizes, low latency flags for games.
Optional Xbox Service Disable: For users who don't use Game Bar or Xbox features (requires explicit "YES" confirmation to prevent accidents).
Vendor-Agnostic GPU Support: Works with NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon, Intel Arc, and Intel integrated graphics - Windows-level optimizations that don't interfere with drivers.

Safety & Convenience

System Restore Point: Automatic restore point creation before changes (starts Volume Shadow Copy service if needed).
Comprehensive Logging: All actions timestamped and logged to logs/nontouch_gaming_optimizer_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log for audit trail.
Registry Backup: Full backup of all modified registry keys before changes are applied.
Laptop Detection: Warns laptop users about battery impact and offers opt-out for power-intensive tweaks.
Verification Tool: Check which optimizations are currently active on your system.
Changes Summary: Clear summary of what was modified after each run.
Undo Function: Revert most changes back to Windows defaults (re-enables services, restores telemetry, animations, network tweaks, touch/pen, mouse acceleration with backed-up pointer settings).
Optimization Report: View system specs and applied optimizations in detailed report format.
Full & Recommended Modes: Run all 15 optimization steps at once (~5-10 min) or just the essentials (~3-5 min).

Performance Expectations

FPS gains: 5-15% improvement in CPU-bound games
Latency reduction: 10-30ms lower input lag
RAM usage: 500MB-1GB freed from background processes
Boot time: 10-30% faster startup
Network ping: 5-15ms reduction in online games

Note: Results vary based on hardware, game, and initial Windows configuration. Systems already optimized may see smaller gains.
