Critical elements identified
It is recommended (if possible) to reset the modified system settings to default.
If this is no longer possible, you can reinstall Windows properly.
Here are the details of the identified bad practices:
System modifications :
- 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 optimization software Hellzerg Optimizer claims to "boost" computer performance.
In reality, such software tries to scam you (especially if they are paid) and attempts to make you believe they are effective.
Even if people claim otherwise, even if the software has a nice colorful interface with lots of options.
You can watch this video, which explains through various tests why such software does not improve performance.
You can also watch this video, which explains why you might think you feel something effective at the moment.
What to do about these bad practices? :
- Given the modifications and installations made to your Windows installation, it is highly recommended to reinstall Windows properly.
This will allow you to start with a clean, stable base, without the risk of issues.
A clean installation of Windows, with the correct drivers and settings, is sufficient to have a performant and stable system.
Everything else is just false promises, bad practices, and increases the risk of problems without any performance gain.
Windows is not really an operating system meant to be tinkered with.
You can watch this tutorial, which explains how to reinstall Windows properly.

Optional considerations
You can download the update from the Nvidia website.
Here is the list of volumes that may lack free space (less than 20GB remaining):
- Storage 4: K: 16 GB free remaining
- Storage 8: J: 9 GB free remaining
It is recommended to leave some free space, especially on the system volume (C:).
This allows for optimal performance and some margin for the system (Windows updates, software updates, etc.).
Here is a video if you want to clean and free up space easily.

High temperatures can be a sign of:
- insufficient VRM cooling
- processor too demanding for this motherboard

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.F16 (2025-03-11)
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).Inactive
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.36s

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.Inactive
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.13min
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

Background usage >5%
Power plan >Utilisation normale
Base frequency >3.70 GHz
Frequencies min/max >0.40 GHz / 5.40 GHz
PL2 / PL1 >PL2 / PL1Power Limits allow limiting the processor's power consumption to reduce the generated heat.
Example image (anandtech.com)
When these limits are reached, the processor will reduce its frequency to stay within the limit.
The purpose is to allow the processor to operate at a certain power level for a short period, then limit it a few seconds later.
Power Limit 2 (PL2) is the maximum power the processor can consume for a short period (a few tens of seconds).
Power Limit 1 (PL1) is the same but kicks in once the PL2 duration has elapsed.
By default, these are values recommended by the processor manufacturer and chosen by the motherboard manufacturer.
A value above 4000 W is not a bug, it means the power limit is disabled.
