🚀 FPS Boost

A small, transparent Windows gaming optimizer that reduces input latency and background noise — without the usual "tweaker" nonsense.

---

Most "FPS boost" scripts you find online either do nothing, break something, or ship a shady binary. This one is different on purpose:

• Everything is reversible. Before touching anything, the original value is saved to a backup file. One menu option puts your system back exactly as it was.
• No magic, no lies. It won't claim to "update your GPU driver" — it detects your GPU and opens the official download page so you install it yourself.
• It only touches safe things. No core Windows services are disabled. Desktop apps (Steam, Discord, OBS) are never affected.
• Readable. It's a single, commented PowerShell script. Read it before you run it.

⚡ How to Use

1. Download this repo (green Code button → Download ZIP) and extract it.

2. Open PowerShell as Administrator.

3. Navigate to the folder and run the script:

cd ~\Downloads\fps-boost-main
.\FPS-Boost.ps1

4. Pick an option from the menu and reboot after applying.

If PowerShell blocks the script, run this first:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

⚙️ Features

Module	What it does
🖱️ Mouse	Disables mouse acceleration ("Enhance pointer precision") and sets 1:1 pointer speed for consistent, raw aim.
⚡ Latency	Switches to High-Performance power plan, enables Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling, keeps Game Mode on, and gives MMCSS Games task higher priority.
🔇 Background	Turns off Game DVR / background recording and stops Store (UWP) apps from running in the background. Desktop apps are untouched.
🚀 Autostart	Lists every startup entry and lets you disable the ones you don't need. Disabled entries are moved aside, not deleted.
🌐 Network	Removes multimedia network throttle, disables Nagle on active adapters. Honest note: the effect is small — a LAN cable helps more.
🎮 GPU Driver	Detects your GPU vendor and opens the official NVIDIA/AMD/Intel download page, plus prints recommended low-latency settings.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This script changes Windows registry settings, your power plan, and startup entries. All changes are backed up and can be undone from the menu ([8] Restore), but use it at your own risk. Reboot after applying so everything takes effect.

🔄 Restoring

Run the script again and choose [8] Restore. It reads the backup and puts every changed value back — including your original power plan and any startup entries you disabled. Then reboot.

The backup lives at:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\fps-boost-backup.json

---

🧹 Bonus: Autostart-Clean.ps1

A companion script that automatically disables unnecessary startup apps (OneDrive, updaters, tray tools, ...) while protecting the ones you actually want at boot — GPU drivers, audio, mouse/keyboard software (Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, ...) and your antivirus.

.\Autostart-Clean.ps1

Pick [1] Clean to disable the junk, or [3] Restore to undo.

🤔 Does this actually increase FPS?

Honestly? It mostly reduces input lag and background load, not raw FPS. The biggest real FPS gains come from things a script can't do for you:

• Up-to-date GPU drivers (use [7] to grab the official ones)
• Correct in-game settings and resolution
• Making sure your monitor runs at its full refresh rate (e.g. 144 Hz, not 60 Hz)
• Good temperatures (thermal throttling = stutter)

This tool makes your system feel snappier and more consistent. It's not a miracle button — anything that promises +100 FPS is lying.
