Hey everyone, I’m trying to push my ultra-budget potato laptop to its absolute limits to get it running as smoothly as possible (mostly trying to stop micro-stutters in lighter competitive shooters and keep the OS responsive). I’ve already gone through the standard optimization routines, but I feel like I've hit a wall and want to know if there are any deeper, next-level debloating steps or registry tweaks I should look into. Here is what I’ve done so far: Used the Chris Titus Tech Windows Utility to strip out the heavy stuff. Completely removed Microsoft Edge, Bing, and disabled Windows Search. Disabled VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) / Core Isolation. Unlocked and enabled the Ultimate Performance power plan, and heavily tuned my AMD Radeon software settings for maximum performance over quality. Replaced a bunch of default Windows apps with lightweight, open-source alternatives to keep RAM usage down. My Specs: CPU: AMD 3020e RAM: 8GB DDR3 (5.88GB usable) OS: Windows 10 Home 22H2 Graphics: AMD Radeon Graphics (Integrated) The laptop runs significantly better than it did out of the box, but when you're working with these specs, every single megabyte of RAM and every CPU cycle counts. Are there any deeper services I can safely disable, specific registry modifications, or hardware-level tweaks that actually work? I'm trying to avoid completely breaking the OS, but I'm fine with aggressive tweaks if they yield a noticeable performance bump. Appreciate any advice or guides you guys can point me toward!

I’m having a really weird issue with my mouse and I can’t figure it out.

It works perfectly fine on desktop and even in menus/lobby, but as soon as I get into an actual match, it starts stuttering or skipping a bit when I move it. It’s not like a full freeze, just small stutters that mess up my aim so badly. What’s confusing me is that it ONLY happens during gameplay, not outside of it.

I’ve already tried:

• Lowering graphics settings
• Closing background apps
• Messing with sensitivity

FPS seems mostly stable too, so this is most likely not a performance related issue. Anyone run into this before? Any idea what could cause it? And is there any solution?
