PowerWash

PowerWash is a batch script designed to help you remove bloatware from your Windows computer. Unlike similar scripts that just execute the commands, this one comes with an interactive interface that lets you choose what you want to change. Needless to say that this is an excellent feature to have if you are looking to customize your system optimization based on specific needs.

Given the nature of the tool, you will need to open PowerShell as Administrator and make sure that the ExecutionPolicy enables you to run scripts. Afterward, use PowerShell to navigate to the location of the script and use the ‘?’ command to learn more about the usage information. Moreover, you can consider using the ‘/stats’ command to get an idea of the baseline performance stats of your current configuration.

Another feature that makes the script stand out is the focus on optimizing low latency and high performance. Most scripts out there tackle the issue by optimizing some power management settings. This script, however, is designed to let you configure your system to compromise power efficiency for higher performance and low latency.

On a side note, bear in mind that this is not always applicable for laptops, as the developer highlights that many of the changes do not apply when on battery.

Similar to other script, it can help you make a lot of changes to the system settings with the intent of improving the overall performance. Such changes include, disabling telemetry, prioritizing interrupts from certain devices or enabling message-singling interrupts. When making modifications, you will be able to fully view the settings, devices, pre-installed programs and services. As a suggestion, you can consider using benchmarking tools to test your system before and after the debloating with PowerWash.
