01.Why are the default Windows 11 settings 'slow'?
Microsoft designs Windows 11 to run on millions of different machines. To ensure nothing breaks and everything is visually pleasing, they enable tons of animations, shadows, and security features that 'talk to the CPU' all the time.
If you want maximum performance, you need to remove these artificial barriers. Tweaks are nothing more than fine adjustments to the system's gears to allow the hardware to breathe.
Beware of Random Scripts
Not everything on Reddit works. Some old tweaks can even decrease performance on modern NVMe SSD-based systems. Use only what is proven safe for the current version of your system (22H2/23H2/24H2).
Don't do it Manually.

02.The Virtualization Secret: VBS and HVCI
Many do not know, but VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) is enabled by default. In some tests, it consumes up to 25% of performance in games like Valorant.
Disabling Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) is one of the most powerful tweaks an advanced user can make today to unlock their machine's full FPS.
