Step 4: Configure computer resources for optimal performance

Your computer's resources are in demand. A clever sharing solution for the resources will help increase your

computer's performance enormously.

Tip:Since this does not limit any functions, this setting is also highly recommended for the long term.

Ensure optimum performance regardless of energy use: This setting uses the "high performance" Win-

dows energy-saving plan when Turbo Mode is on. This ensures maximum performance regardless of the

amount of energy used.

Step 5: Disable background functions

The operating system performs many more tasks than most users are aware of. Many programs and services

run permanently in the background, although they are not strictly necessary and use valuable resources. If

you never use some of these functions you can disable them and permanently increase your computer's per-

formance.

Disable media library share in local network:This setting ensures that other network devices cannot access

your images, videos or music in the media library when Turbo Mode is on. However, Turbo Mode does not

affect the share of folders in the network.

Disable Windows search indexing function:This setting ensures Windows does not create any indexes of

your files or e-mails when Turbo Mode is on.

Turn off error reporting:This setting ensures that no data will be gathered regarding errors and there will

be no communication with Microsoft about crashed programs or other errors when Turbo Mode is on.

Turn off support for virtual machines:(This option is only available if your computer has software for vir-

tual machines installed on it.)This setting turns off background functions for the use of virtual machines

when Turbo Mode is on.

Step 6: Additional performance boost

Every time Windows starts up, it starts up services that are used rarely or never. These services can occupy a

large amount of the system's resources and slow down your PC. To prevent these services from not working

when you need them, you should only turn them off temporarily for an added performance boost.

Turn off rarely used services:This setting turns off services that are only needed in specific circumstances

(e.g. company networks) or situations (e.g. installation of new programs) when Turbo Mode is on.

Turn off special encryption services:When Turbo Mode is on, this setting turns off services for logging

onto a domain.

Turn off network communication services:When Turbo Mode is on, this setting turns off network com-

munication services that are rarely used, e.g. fax or peer-to-peer services.
