Here are the details of the identified bad practices:
System modifications :
- The behavior of one of the system timers has been modified (GlobalTimerResolutionRequests).
By default, each application can modify its own timer precision without affecting other applications.
With this modification, the timer is no longer unique per application but becomes global.
Now when an application modifies its timer, it impacts the timer for all other applications.
This is not ideal, as the processor will theoretically be interrupted even more by background applications for no reason.
- The registry key SvchostSplitThresholdInKB has been modified.
System services are now grouped together instead of being separated.
It is not recommended to change the default behavior as it can impact system stability in some cases (if a service crashes, it can affect other services in the same group, potentially causing a blue screen CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION).
Software / tools not recommended :
- The software CCleaner Driver Updater may seem very convenient at first, allowing you to update the drivers of your computer with just a few clicks.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for such tools to offer drivers that are not necessarily suitable for your computer.
This may cause no issues, but sometimes it can create problems (crashes, freezes, blue screens, non-functional Wi-Fi, etc.).
It is recommended to update drivers via the manufacturer's website, as explained in this video.
- The optimization software CCleaner claims to improve performance.
It modifies Windows settings, "cleans" the registry, deletes files, etc.
Depending on the options used in such software, they can create problems.
For registry cleaning, it is a myth; the registry does not need to be cleaned.
If they have a paid version, their goal is to make you buy it.
They are not actually useful, and you can simply uninstall these programs.
You can watch this video to learn more about best practices.
Modified power plan :
- The "Bitsum Highest Performance" power plan is a modified.
It works very well by default, there is no real benefit to installing such power plans for the processor.
You can watch this video to learn more about best practices.
What to do about these bad practices? :
- This is not really ideal (but not the end of the world either).
Windows seems to have been modified by software/scripts or manually.
If you know how to correctly revert these settings to default, you can do so.
However, note that UserDiag does not detect all possible modifications.
You might be missing other system settings that have been changed.
There may be only a few modifications detected above, but potentially other things could have been altered.
If you have issues or if you prefer, you can always reinstall Windows properly via this tutorial.

VRM temperatures min/max >VRM temperatures min/maxThe VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules) are the power stages located on the motherboard near the processor.
High temperatures can be a sign of:
- insufficient VRM cooling
- processor too demanding for this motherboard

Version >VersionThe BIOS version and date help identify the currently installed BIOS version on the machine.
Notes:
- Sometimes, the retrieved BIOS version may slightly differ from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Example: With an MSI BIOS, the retrieved version might be '2.B0' while on the website, the version is listed as '7D22v2B'.
- The retrieved BIOS date may also slightly differ by a few days/months from the one displayed on the manufacturer's website.
Example: With an MSI BIOS, the retrieved date is 26/01/2024, while on the website, the date is 07/01/2023.
Here, the date on the website corresponds to the upload date, while the retrieved date is the BIOS creation date.1.J3 (2024-08-28)
Boot mode >Boot modeBoot mode of the computer:
- Legacy (old mode)
- UEFI (recent mode)UEFI
TPM >TPMThe TPM is a component (physical module on the motherboard or emulated by the processor) that allows secure storage of information.
Specifically, it can store encryption keys, certificates, biometric data, etc.
For example, it is used to encrypt storage with BitLocker or unlock the computer with Windows Hello.
Some anti-cheat software for video games can also use it to confirm the integrity of the game and the system.Active
Secure Boot >Secure BootThis is a security option available in the BIOS.
Secure Boot ensures that the computer boots only with a verified operating system.
This setting may be required by some game anti-cheats (Valorant, FIFA).Active
Boot duration >Boot durationBoot duration is the time elapsed between pressing the power button and the motherboard returning POST OK (successful hardware check).
This can be useful for identifying a slow boot issue.
(long memory training in DDR5, for example).
A boot duration of around ten seconds is normal.
Note that this period occurs before Windows starts.
Applications that launch at Windows startup do not affect this duration.12s

Fast startup >Fast startupWindows Fast startup allows older computers to boot faster.
Sometimes this mode (enabled by default) can be the source of issues such as LEDs staying on, or crashes at startup with incompatible drivers.Active
Uptime >UptimeUptime is the time elapsed since the last Windows startup.
This information can be useful to determine how long it has been since Windows was last restarted.
Note that if Fast Startup is enabled in Windows settings, shutting down the computer will actually put it into a hibernation state.
Therefore, Windows only fully shuts down during a restart.
(by clicking on restart and not on shutdown)
As a result, you may sometimes observe high uptimes of several days, even if the computer is regularly shut down and turned on.
However, if Fast Startup is disabled, the computer will fully shut down during shutdown, and the uptime will be reset with each startup.50min
VBS >VBSVirtualization-Based Security (VBS) is a security feature in Windows.
Its purpose is to protect certain parts of Windows by isolating them from the rest. It may be enabled by default on compatible Windows 11 installations.
It can also be activated if core integrity in Windows Defender is enabled, when using WSL2, or other virtual machine-related features.
However, this feature may slightly reduce performance when enabled.
This option only protects against certain complex vulnerabilities. It will not protect you from a cryptocurrency miner or password theft, etc.
Microsoft advises gamers, if they wish, to disable this option. (More information)Active
Antivirus >AntivirusCurrently active antivirus on your computer.
Ideally, it is better to use something like Windows Defender, which is relatively effective and already integrated by default in Windows, or use a third-party antivirus of your choice.
However, it is advisable to avoid less recommended antiviruses like Avast, Norton, McAfee, Iobit, etc., which are known for collecting your personal data rather than protecting you.Windows Defender
