Visual Effects are the worst thing that Has Enhanced In Windows 10. Visual Effects are the effects that you feel while Doing Tasks on Windows 10 PC. Like when Minimizing tabs, Switching Tabs, Opening Files Explorer or any Software. I think You Probably felt the smooth Opening of any Software or while minimizing Chrome Tab. Well, I’m Literally not against these Visual Effects, and I also like them. But these Visual Effects are not good for Windows 10 PC my Friends.
These Visual Effects Slow downs the Process and obtains extra Seconds to complete tasks in Windows 10 PC. And when you decrease these Visual Effects, you will feel the Same Speed Improvement that I have felt. So, let me show you how you can disable or Decrease the Visual Effects.

3. Uninstall Useless Software
Having Software on Windows PC is necessary because it makes our Work easy. But having extra Software installed that you rarely use is not good for Gaming Performance. Too much software on PC is not Good for PC Performance Because every Software that you have installed consumes Space on Driver. And less Space on Main Driver means less Performance. So, Uninstall every Software that is not useful for your Work or for at least until you finish your Game.
Only Uninstalling the Useless Programs will not help you that much in Improving the Performance. You should also Clean the dust that those uninstalled applications will be going to leave. Again, for that, CCleaner is Best. If you no idea how to use CCleaner to clean the dust then let me help you.
Clean Registry with CCleaner:
- First, get the CCleaner from Here.

- Just Check Mark all the Options Under System.

- Then hit the “Run Cleaner” Button.
- Done.

After doing these things, enough amount of Pressure from your SSD or HDD will get away.
4. Set Power Usage to High
Making a change in Power Plan to High can absolutely increase your Gaming Performance. However, when you play Games on Your Windows 10 PC, all the hardware that you have installed needs more power supply to provide max utilization of Hardware. And the best way to Increase the Power Consuming capacity of the Hardware is through allowing them to access more Power. And you can do that from Control Panel>Power Plan.
This method worked like a charm for me. But there is a Disadvantage; if you are on Desktop, you will be putting your SMPS (Power Supplier) into Danger. Because Setting the Power Plan to High can demand more power from SMPS. So, if you have high-Level Power Supplier then its ok to try but if you have low, fixed and limited amount of V. Power Supplier and I recommend you not to try.
