Optimising for multimedia creation

[mewostick]

This is a continuation of the discussion at WinScripts.

[MarcoRavich]

...someone is talking - with not very convincing arguments - about "us":
Why 'debloating' Windows is a bad idea (and what to do instead)

[mewostick]

Did you link the correct article? The one in your post is leading to "10 ways to speed up your slow internet connection today".

[MarcoRavich]

Sorry, the ZDNET website works very "badly" (or rather, it is designed to recursively link their articles to each other)...
....link fixed.

[mewostick]

The article seems to just recommend paid NTLite over anything else. I do include an option to disable removing APPX 'bloat' and the other debloat part is just a couple of registry tweaks which cause no harm.

I do agree: a Playbook that modifies a legit full stock Windows installation is far a better approach than NTLite.
Anyway the key is to let the user decide which Windows "bloatware" to keep/uninstall and - safe - tweaks to apply, IMHO.

[mewostick]

Well, I do give an option not to uninstall Edge, OneDrive and most APPX apps including the Microsoft Store.

What would be considered a safe tweak, though?

[MarcoRavich]

Staying OnTopic, we have to further discuss about default optimizations for content creators (disabling Windows Updates - which are truly annoying, sometimes - is not a very good idea for example, on contrary VC++ libraries - that are substantially mandatory for almost all AV softwares - aren't installed/updated at all by it)...

...anyway here's the final (argumented) summary of the fun discussion that could be the starting point to create a "project manifest":

To optimize a Windows workstation for maximum performance in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and NLE (Non-Linear Editing) environment, a series of OS tweaks and configurations are necessary. These tweaks focus on minimizing latency, maximizing CPU and memory performance, optimizing storage and disk usage, and reducing unnecessary background processes and services. Below is a detailed description and explanation of all the applicable OS tweaks:

1. Create a System Restore Point

Before applying any tweaks, it's crucial to create a system restore point. This provides a safety net, allowing you to revert to a previous system state if any changes cause instability or performance degradation.

2. Disable Unnecessary Background Services and Applications

Windows runs a number of background services and applications by default that are not essential for audio/video production. Disabling these services frees up system resources, such as CPU cycles and RAM, which are critical for performance in DAW and NLE environments.

• SysMain (Superfetch): Preloads data into memory based on usage patterns. While beneficial for general use, it can cause unnecessary disk activity and RAM usage, detrimental to audio/video production.

• DiagTrack (Connected User Experiences and Telemetry): Collects diagnostic and usage data. Disabling this service reduces background network activity and CPU usage.

• dmwappushsvc (dmwappushservice): Used for Windows Push Notifications. This service can be safely disabled to reduce network traffic and system load.

• WSearch (Windows Search): Indexes files to speed up search functionality. Disabling it reduces disk I/O, which can otherwise interfere with audio/video work.

• Fax, Print Spooler, Remote Registry: Not required for audio/video production environments. Disabling these services reduces unnecessary resource usage.

3. Optimize Visual Effects and Animations

Windows visual effects can be taxing on system performance, especially when working with high-definition video and audio files. Reducing or disabling these effects can free up GPU and CPU resources:

• Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing: Disable to reduce GPU load.
• Fade or slide menus into view: Disable to reduce CPU load and improve UI responsiveness.
• Show shadows under mouse pointer and windows: Disable to save GPU and CPU resources.
• Show window contents while dragging: Disable to minimize the load on GPU and CPU during intensive tasks.

4. Adjust Registry Settings for Performance Optimization

Modifying certain registry settings can significantly improve system performance by altering how Windows handles memory, process priorities, and network traffic:

• NetworkThrottlingIndex: Set to ffffffff to disable network throttling. This is crucial for preventing network lag that can disrupt audio/video streaming and real-time collaboration.

• Win32PrioritySeparation: Set to 0x26 to favor foreground applications, which is critical when working in DAW/NLE applications that require maximum processing power.

• DisablePagingExecutive: Set to 1 to keep the core kernel and device drivers in physical memory. This prevents delays caused by paging parts of the OS to disk.

• LargeSystemCache: Set to 1 to allocate more memory to the system cache, improving performance when dealing with large files in NLE/DAW environments.

• VisualFXSetting: Set to 2 to adjust for best performance, which turns off all unnecessary animations and visual effects.

5. Optimize Power Management Settings

Power settings can significantly impact the performance of a DAW/NLE workstation. Using high-performance power plans ensures that the CPU runs at full speed and that the system does not enter power-saving states, which can cause audio dropouts or video stuttering.

• Power Plan Settings: Switch to a high-performance power plan and configure it to never turn off the display, hard drives, or put the system to sleep. This ensures continuous, uninterrupted operation.

• CPU Performance Management: Disable CPU throttling and parking to ensure all CPU cores are available at their maximum performance. This is crucial for real-time processing in audio and video production.

6. Disable Hibernation and Prefetch

• Hibernation: Disabling hibernation (powercfg /h off) saves disk space and prevents the system from writing large files to disk, which can interfere with audio/video work.

• Prefetch and Superfetch: Disabling these features (EnablePrefetcher set to 0) prevents Windows from preloading applications into RAM, which can free up memory and reduce unnecessary disk I/O.

7. Disable Windows Features Not Needed for DAW/NLE Work

• Unnecessary Windows Features: Disable features like Print to PDF services and Work Folders, which are not required for audio/video production, to reduce background processes and resource usage.

8. Configure Storage and Disk Settings

• Disable Disk Indexing: For media production environments where files are frequently moved or changed, disabling disk indexing reduces disk I/O, improving performance.

• SSD Optimization: Ensure that SSDs are set to run in AHCI mode and that TRIM is enabled to maintain optimal performance.

9. Install and Use Better Timer Resolution

Audio and video production often require precise timing and synchronization. Installing a tool like Better Timer Resolution ensures that the Windows timer resolution is set to its lowest possible value, reducing latency and improving the accuracy of real-time processing.

10. Switch to Performance Mode with switch-performance-mode

Using the switch-performance-mode script allows users to quickly switch to a high-performance power mode that is optimized for DAW/NLE usage. This mode prioritizes CPU and GPU resources for maximum performance and minimal latency.

11. Scheduled Maintenance and Optimization Scripts

To keep the system optimized, it's useful to schedule regular maintenance tasks such as defragmenting non-SSD drives, cleaning temporary files, and updating drivers. PowerShell scripts can automate these tasks, ensuring the system remains in top condition for audio and video production work.

Conclusion

By applying these OS tweaks, you can significantly enhance the performance and responsiveness of a Windows workstation for audio and video production. Each tweak is carefully selected to maximize CPU, GPU, and memory resources, minimize latency, and reduce unnecessary background processes. The goal is to create a stable, high-performance environment where DAW and NLE software can operate with maximum efficiency and reliability.

True, I'll make it a decision.

[mewostick]

Did you use the glorious @abbodi1406's VisualCppRedist AIO ?

I'll take a look at it!

If possible it would be great to let the Playbook download the updated version.

Direct download link to latest version: https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/latest/download/VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe

;)

[mewostick]

I'd like to have an ability to run the Playbook without being connected to the internet, though.

EDIT: I've made it an user choice.

[mewostick]

I've pushed an updated version of the playbook. I'll take a look at the ads in start menu & potentially other things in the following days.

Comment about Creosinth from a CGpersia forum user:

So basically what I have been doing since Windows NT4.

You can not optimize windows unless you understand every single service and how each service interacts with another, a script is useless for any Windows Optimizing because it does not dwell down to the main issue with Windows, there is no Windows Setup for Graphics Workstation/Audio/Video. Windows is a business OS and it always has been, the multimedia part of it was added later.

This is why Microsoft does not have installation profiles so you could choose Multimedia and Windows would have all of the IT/Office integration services off, this would of course be a nightmare for call desks. On the Mac OS for example this is not a problem as Mac users are used to being told what to do and accept the changes or move on to some other OS. This has been like this for decades.

On the Windows OS side this is very different, in order to dominate the IT and Corporate Desktop Microsoft had to keep many legacy hardware and software support in order to have the Corporate desktop match the home desktop. It was not until Windows 10 that some changes happened and many things changed under the hood including adding more "Workstation" type services for Graphics/Audio/Video.

However Windows 10 and 11 are still a CORPORATE desktop OS and we need to set it up to how we will use it, this includes disabling about 120 services, deleting some of these services through the registry, taking ownership of hidden directories, booting into a live Linux distro in order to delete some "Things" that Microsoft does not allow to be deleted even with Group Policy actions set.

All this is done within a space of 30 minutes, each person has a different setup and this type of extreme speed and low resources setup must be done on an individual system because each person will have different hardware and that hardware will have different services that either COULD be Disabled or MUST be enabled ( multi screen support profiles etc).

This is the Breakdown:

1. Must have multi screen support output /with options ENABLED
2. All network related Services for IT/Autho DISABLED
3. All Crypt services for IT/Corporate Disabled
4. All Windows Network Audio disabled ( except bluetooth audio in case you need that on)
5. Disable the unnecessary Windows Subgraphics services that have nothing to do with your main card.
   ( watch out this will disable the screen brightening support, so leave that one on)
6. Disable telemetry, delete Windows update+ orchestrator services,delete clipboard/news/tiles and other useless garbage through the >Windows registry
7. Disable all visual aids services unless they are required
8. Disable all Windows Gui themes and nonsense, disable Sounds as well
9. Make a folder on your desktop and name it "Shortcuts" put all your shortcuts there so desktop is tidy.
10. Never store any important data on your desktop folder that is a disaster waiting to happen

Some applications will install their own services ( Adobe/The Foundry/ and oh god Avid lol)
So these will need to be on or else licenses or application itself will refuse to run.

Finally 3 things :

1. Boot into a live Linux distro ( Puppy linux) and remove some pesky things Microsoft does not want you to turn off ( you can easily >figure this one out)
2. Install Classic shell or Bblean or some other Windows shell replacement in Windows 11 and 10.
3. DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER, I would just DELETE IT lol.

Final words : Make a backup of the System OS with the applications already installed, have your main Data ( from those applications always installed to a second "Data" drive. Do a system backup every week with a USB external case and an SSD inside, so any time you can go back and have your system ready to go in 10-15 minutes with all your settings, applications all ready to go.

One last thing I will mention there is lists available on google with the addresses of microsoft/partners networks that need to be blocked on your hosts file, this is an optional thing to do.

Thanks for the link.

Even if I barelly agree with some of this, I hope more people will contribute methods/ideas to make this playbook a "must have" for all creators.

[MarcoRavich]

Checking the ReviOS' List of system changes I've noticed a some interesting mods that might be interesting to bring into CS too:

1. Completely disables ReadyBoost/Superfetch for SSDs to reduce system latency and usage (check config.yml)
2. Disables Memory Compression - (check config.yml)
3. EXPLORER TWEAKS \ Force explorer to use high performance GPU (check configure-explorer-settings.yml)

...and maybe some other, but these seems the more interestings for CS.

[MarcoRavich]

After the upgrade to 0.7 version I've installed this @shoober420's GPUTweaks.bat script too and - after a reboot - everything seems to work fine.

The related discussion @ elevenforum.

EDIT: however the Auto Color Management for Apps in Windows 11 should be on (choice) for creators.

@shoober420's opinion about needed.

[shoober420]

if im being asked if a "LOWLATENCY" option can exist, i would not find it hard to believe. i first was confused looking for a "NOLATENCY" option, but i see it was a typo. it shouldnt hurt to have it added to any script.

Yes, I meant "LOWLATENCY", it doesn't seem I can't find any mention of it on the internet by a quick search, though.

Where did you find about its existence if I may ask?
