Challenge: Minimize W10 RAM usage

>>59507846
Install Linux, you fucking idiot.

PART TWO OF THREE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>A list of things I did, and I recommend you to do the same for the sakes of this challenge

-Deactivate as many unneeded services as possible (In order to do this, I among others used http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/black-vipers-windows-10-service-configurations/)

-Deactivate Windows 10 Superfetch (really, it's not needed)

-Deactivate Windows (Compability) Telemetry (I did this with the use of DisableWinTracking: https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking)

-Use CCleaner to do the following:
*Deïnstall Windows 10 apps among which WinStore, Weather, News etc. (those apps that were introduced with Win8) I (obviously) kept Photo's and the Calculator. . In CCleaner this can be done by going to tools - uninstall.
*Run the registry cleaner in CCleaner. Do this a bunch of times in a row: as CCleaner removes registry values, other values might become visible for CCleaner to be removed during future scans.
*Go to Tools - Startup, disable as many startup tasks here.
*Go to the context menu tab, disable unneeded context menu items

-Disable as many startup applications as possible (applications that are unneeded and not vital. If not done through CCleaner yet).

-Install the most lightweight scanner available, provided that it does not break any of the above rules (so no DankLightweightScanner.exe, I'm quite sure that that isn't very creditable)

>>59507855
Fuck off child.

PART THREE OF THREE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Things mainly done to boost performance
-Activate quick start in Win10

-Activate quick start in bios (if available)

-Open msconfig, go to startup, advanced options tick "amount of processors" and put it to maximum. Tick "maximummemory" and set it to maximum.

-Go to control panel - system and security - system - advanced settings - prestations: settings. Untick all unneeded visual effects here. Only things I kept enabled: Show contents during window drag, translucent selection box, show miniatures instead of pictograms, falling shadows for names of pictograms, soft edges around lettertypes.

You pathetic moron. You already use 600MB of memory. Why the fuck do you need more?

In current year 1GB to the OS is literally nothing.

+ Cache algorithm may depend on TOTAL ram.

Fuck this linux meme. They have destroyed linux with it. They want a 2MB footprint or their 128GB machines and that is why their OS looks like shit.

At least use KDE Plasma and develop it better you autistic linux shills.

>>59507846
I'm on 8.1 and no plans upgrading. Can I join too?

>>59507899
Because it's fun to do, that's why. I don't do things because I need to, I do things because I can and I find them intriguing.

But, as your brain is too incapable of comprehending something like that I'll pardon you for calling me a moron, moron.

The OS probably reserves more ram based on memory alone. I have 32 gigs and I have about 2 times your cache size now (my machine is pretty lean already because you can't get win10 to be that lean anyway).

>Challenge: Minimize W10 RAM usage
Step 1: Install linux

all I can say is: who the fuck is back viper?

>>59507918
Feel free to join in, even though your results will probably deviate from W10 results. The things you do in W8.1 can usually also be done in W10.

>>59507920
>your brain is too incapable of comprehending something like
You are a mentally deficient child. You don't go willy nilly autistically to reduce RAM. You eliminate unneeded processes.

>>59507933
He's a legend if it comes to enabling/disabling W10 components and services. He used to be a lot more known in previous Windows era's but he's been around for a very very long time.

>>59507933
He's been writing service guides since Win 98 or something. You don't know him because you weren't even born back then.

>>59507868
>Sharing your results
After all these optimizations, do you winfags still feel M$ dick in your ass?

>>59507949
Wouldn't be much of a challenge if it comes down to solely doing that, now would it?

Aside from that, the fact that you can't recognize a challenge being around just for fun and interest, then who is the autistic child?

my RAM numbers are totally obliterated by the Lenovo acpi and config services

if I switch them off, I lose battery life, auto brightness and even some touchpad functionality

so I am basically doomed in that matter

>>59507953
>>59507958
nice to know
I have been using Linux since 1998 or so, maybe that is the reason
I am currently on win10 so I will give it a go
thank you

This. So, to win your challenge a person should start up a system with 2 GB of RAM which is far, FAR more effective than your little tricks.

>>59507989
Fucking hell lol, why are you even using edge? I use Firefox and I already get a fuckload of hate for that xD

in a way, I think windows 10 takes almost half the RAM because fuck you

my gaming rig has 6GB and I get almost the same numbers

>>59507846
>-Having a virusscanner activated & running (NOT scanning) IS MANDATORY
lol why

>>59507990
Breaks the rule that the performance may not be significantly compromised. The benchmark happens after letting Windows settle for 5 minutes, but the performance should remain relatively uncomprimized also in the period after that.

So no, you are not allowed to do this :)

>>59508003
it is fast
it has adblock and tampermonkey

I guess all that RAM is consumed thanks to my rice scripts

can someone tell me how i can reduce windows 10 size

>>59508016
format to ext4

>>59507918
988 MB in use

662 MB cache

windows 8.1

>>59508016
I've read at quite some pages around the internet that you can download custom installers for Win10. prior to downloading those installers you can select what components you want in, and what components you want out. Should Google it :)

it is used to download the big updates, and distribute them in your network
so sometimes it can get pretty hueg

>>59508205

the joke is that windows is drunk

>>59508205
I use a HDD and it works just fine. From pressing the power button to logging in and having windows being usable takes about 30 seconds for me. Could be faster with a SSD, I know, but I honestly don't see the point in wasting a few hundred euros on something I don't really need that much.

Why do all this stupid shit when literally any other OS is better

>>59508222
for me its one of those things i cant live without after using it once, kinda like ips monitors for example
mind you i went from 5400rpm hard drive to m.2 ssd

>>59508314
>Literally any other OS is better
Yeah right... I find it amusing how people play along in this "one OS vs another" argument. Each OS has it's own strengths and weaknesses. You literally can't say OS a is better than b, just because. It always comes at a trade-off.

>>59508353
I disagree. Some OSes have more faults than others, and less benefits than others. Which generally makes them worse. The trade-off might be bigger for things you don't end up using or caring about.

Example: One of the big benefits about Windows 10 is DX12 support. While my GPU has DX12 support, I don't play games often enough and there's only -one- I bought that supports DX12, yet the difference is minimal at best. The tradeoff is, I have to keep myself from tampering with a few system files to correct problems the system has, because they will break anyways after a big update. That is not a good tradeoff. I didn't ask for that kind of shit, but I accept that I can just using their product instead of being a little bitch about it.

"Advertising" something that's free and libre. Totally makes sense.

>>59508016
Delete it and install Linux

god this thread is cringe

>>59509002
i will do this, however, i need to keep windows for dual boot as the manufacturer may still release firmware updates for thunderbolt and they only provide a windows installer
im trying to get windows to be as small as possible as thats the only reason ill boot it up for

>>59508885

Yes you fucking retard, being free does not absolve something from ever being advertised.

>>59508016

Do you mean the size of a currently running install or the base install size?

NTLite can slim a Windows 10 ISO fucking HARD, but they went full jew and make you pay for the software to be able to remove half the content (they conveniently lock you trimming out most of the big stuff on the free)

okay, I'll play your game

>>59509113
ideally currently running install, but it seems there arent much gains to be made that way, so i might have to go with a base install, no idea where to start with that though but im not paying for shit and id rather not use 3rd party programs, doesnt microsoft offer something similar?

>>59509292
and interestingly enough, Edge loads that entire picture with only a few hundred MB RAM used, and it can zoom in/out and scroll smoothly.

Chrome shoots up to 2.3gb ram when opening it, falls back to few hundred mb after opening it, but any time you zoom in or scroll, it hangs for a minute.

Firefox opens it, but zooming in gives you garbage and then it just doesn't do anything more.
