Ultimate Windows Tweaker (specifically version 3 for Windows 8 and 8.1) is a free, lightweight program that lets you change hidden settings to make your computer run faster. Instead of clicking through complex menus, this tool puts all the speed-up options in one simple dashboard.
Before using any tweaking tool, always open the program and click Create Restore Point. This gives you a safe backup in case you want to undo any changes.
Here is how you can use a Windows 8 tweaker to boost your system performance. Turn Off Visual Animations
Windows 8 uses fancy visual effects, like windows fading in and out, which use up your memory and slowdown older hardware. Go to the Customization or Performance tab.
Turn off visual effects like window animations, fade effects, and smooth scrolling.
Turning these off will make your folders and menus pop open instantly. Fix Menu and Mouse Delays
By default, Windows 8 waits a split second before showing a menu when you hover over it. You can remove this delay to make the system feel snappier. Look for responsiveness or menu settings.
Lower the MouseHoverTime and MenuShowDelay values down to 10 milliseconds.
Your mouse interactions will feel much faster after a quick restart. Stop Background Apps and Services
Many built-in Windows features run in the background and steal your processor’s power.
