Disable These "Smart" Windows Features to Boost FPS & Reduce Lag

Your games stutter. Load times are long. Your CPU is constantly working — even when nothing's open.
That’s not bad luck — it’s Windows doing too much.
Windows 10/11 is packed with “smart” features meant to help — but they quietly eat away at gaming performance, input latency, and system responsiveness.
In this video, we’re disabling 9 hidden background services, AI systems, telemetry tasks, and virtualization layers that hurt FPS, spike latency, and steal CPU time — especially in competitive or modded gaming.
