A fresh Windows install idles at around two hundred processes, and most of them are not for you. OmniDx Tune reads your PC, decides the safe bar for your machine, and cuts to it: every startup app off, the junk services and apps gone, a power plan built for frames, your network, Discord, Spotify and browser tuned, a profile for each game you play, a full debloat kept gone by policy, and a BIOS checklist written for your exact board. Then it hands you the undo.
Sceptical? Read everything it changes, with the reason, before you pay โ or run the free report mode, which changes nothing.
No mock-ups. The run is the build machine's last verified run, word for word; the window and the card are drawn by the check from the current script. Where your own numbers go, the slide says so.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, open the Performance tab, click CPU. Bottom left, next to Threads and Handles, is Processes. Close everything else first and read it.
The free report mode reads your exact number, decides the target for your PC, and lists what it would switch off and keep, without changing anything.
$env:OMNIDX_MODE='report'; irm omnidx.net/go.ps1 | iexFree. No key. Changes nothing. Saves what it found to C:\OmniDx.
Each of these is a real list in the script, with the reason next to every entry. It cuts to a number decided on your PC โ the services your hardware needs stay โ and it prints the before and after, so the claim in the headline is one you check on your own machine. The full list, generated from the script, is here.
Discord, Spotify, Steam, Epic, OneDrive, Teams, Edge, the printer utility, the RGB software โ it shows you the list, numbered, and asks which to leave on. Everything else gets the same switch Task Manager has, thrown at once, plus the Store apps that register themselves separately.
Fax, phone link, maps, retail demo, the parental controls broker, remote registry, the diagnostics and error-reporting stack, Windows Search indexing, the print spooler when there is no printer, Bluetooth when there is no Bluetooth. Stopped and set to manual or disabled, never deleted โ Services can start any one of them again.
The compatibility appraiser, the customer experience uploads, the disk diagnostic, the feedback prompts, the maps and speech downloads, the family safety monitor. Two dozen of them, off.
Phone Link, Maps, Weather, News, Feedback Hub, 3D Viewer, Mixed Reality Portal, Get Help, Solitaire, the new Outlook, Teams, Copilot, the Bing everything, and the trials the PC maker added. Removed for every account on the PC, provisioned copies too. The debloat goes further.
Diagnostic data to the minimum Windows allows, advertising id off, background apps off, Game DVR and the Xbox Game Bar recorder off, widgets, tips, suggestions and Start ads off. Windows Update never restarts the PC while you are on it, and in Extreme it waits for you: nothing downloads or installs until you press Check for updates.
The four Xbox services are kept when Game Pass or Minecraft is on the machine, because those need them. Say -CutXbox and they go too. The script decides from what it finds, not from a guess.
Not just the apps. The pieces of Windows nobody has opened in a decade, the PC maker's trials, OneDrive when nobody is signed in to it, Edge's add-ons, and then the switches that stop Windows quietly putting it all back. Every removal is recorded; undo puts it back. Windows itself, your drivers and your files are never part of it.
Sixty-eight patterns: the Microsoft apps you never open and the games, media players, antivirus trials and shopping apps that ship on new PCs. Removed for every account and from the image, so a new account does not get them either. Spotify, Photos, Calculator, Snipping Tool, Terminal and the Store stay.
Uninstalled when nobody is signed in to it, and kept when you are. Your files stay exactly where they are either way. Undo reinstalls it.
Internet Explorer 11, the 2009 Media Player, WordPad, Steps Recorder, Math Input Panel, XPS printing, Work Folders and the PowerShell 2.0 engine that bypasses modern security logging. Fax and Scan stays when you have a printer; Hello face stays when you have the camera.
Shopping assistant, recommendations, Spotlight, the in-game overlay, feedback prompts and usage reporting off by policy. Your tabs, history and settings untouched. Edge itself stays, because Windows needs it for sign-in pages.
Consumer features, suggested apps, silent installs and account nags switched off by policy, so a monthly update does not bring the ads back. And when a feature update turns a service or a task back on, status says which, and running it again (free) puts it off again, with nothing of OmniDx running at sign-in to watch for it. It only touches what the tune recorded, never your own settings.
Temp files older than a day, the Windows Update download cache and the peer-to-peer update cache. Usually hundreds of megabytes, sometimes gigabytes. Not undoable, because none of it was anything.
A tweak list copied off a forum treats a gaming laptop with a fingerprint reader the same as a desktop with three monitors. That is how people lose Wi-Fi. This reads the machine first and cuts around what it finds โ so the safe bar is different on every PC, and it is the right one on yours.
It prints everything it found before asking to go on. If it read something wrong, stop there โ nothing has changed yet.
The problems no tweak can fix are the ones worth finding first. The free report reads them in seconds and says what each one means, in words, only when it applies.
On an NVIDIA card it asks the driver's own tool for the temperature, the power limit against the card's maximum, the fan, and whether it is throttling for heat or power. Hot or throttling at idle means dust, a fan or a thermal pad, not settings.
Where the board exposes its heat sensors, the hottest one and whether Windows is already holding the CPU back because of it.
Five pings to your router and five to the internet's edge: the delay, the jitter and the loss. A jittery link to your own router is Wi-Fi or a bad cable; loss further out is the line. Neither is a tweak, and it says so.
The driver behind your graphics card, network adapter, sound, Bluetooth and storage: who made it and how old it is. Any device Windows reports a problem with, with Windows' reason. A missing or stale graphics driver, and network and audio drivers old enough to cause the latency spikes the wake-up test catches, named with where to get the newest. It reads them; it never installs or changes one.
Thirty days of Windows' own logs, in words: each game that crashed and whether it was in the graphics driver, an overlay or the game itself, graphics driver resets, blue screens by their code, and the errors your processor, memory or PCI Express slots corrected by themselves. Those are the sign of an overclock, undervolt or memory profile that is not stable, often before anything crashes.
Each drive's own health: Windows' verdict, how much of its rated life it has used, its temperature against its rated limit, and any read it could not correct. A failing, worn-out or overheating drive is named, because no tweak helps one.
Windows' "Balanced" plan parks cores, drops the CPU to 5% between frames and lets the PCIe bus and USB ports doze โ every one of those costs a frame time spike. The OmniDx plan is made from Ultimate Performance and then pushed further, and it is active the moment the script finishes. Undo puts your old plan back.
Minimum and maximum processor state both at 100%, boost mode aggressive, core parking off on every core, active cooling. The clock is up before the game asks for it.
PCIe link state power management off, USB selective suspend off, USB 3 link power off, disks never spin down. Your GPU and your mouse are never waking up from anything.
Sleep, hibernate and hybrid sleep off while plugged in. On a laptop the battery side of the plan stays sensible โ it is your battery. Desktops also lose the hiberfile and Fast Startup, so every boot is a clean one.
For every game it finds, three things are set per executable that Windows never sets on its own: CPU priority high, the high-performance GPU, and fullscreen optimisations off for real exclusive fullscreen and the lowest input latency. Your other games (found through Steam, Epic, the Xbox app and Windows' own list of games it has seen run) get the same priority and GPU, and the launchers' store pages drop below normal: only games come first. Then the report lists the in-game settings the competitive players actually run โ the ones that cost nothing to see.
Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and Ricochet are never stopped, disabled or delayed. VALORANT (Vanguard On-Demand) and FACEIT now require Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, IOMMU and memory integrity on: the script reports all four, never turns any of them off, and the BIOS checklist says where each one is.
For seven games the settings go straight into the game's own file (below). For the rest, the report: performance mode, raw input and Reflex, launch options, what to give Java. Written next to the game it found.
Mouse acceleration off, the scheduler set for the game in front, background programs kept off the cores the game runs on, overlays that no longer cost a frame, Game DVR off so nothing records behind your game, and the 20% network reserve Windows keeps for itself given back. The report measures the wake-up delay before and after: how late the PC wakes a thread that asked for a millisecond, the number a misbehaving driver adds to every key press.
The settings that cost frames and show you nothing are set where the game reads them: V-Sync off, motion blur off, shadows and post-processing down. It asks first, backs up each file, skips a game that is running, and only changes a setting the file already has, so a game update that renames one is simply left alone. Undo puts every value back.
Fortnite, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Marvel Rivals, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege and Minecraft. The free report lists exactly what it would write for the ones on your PC before anything changes.
A copy of each file goes into C:\OmniDx\backup first. Undo puts back each setting it changed, and leaves alone any you changed yourself afterwards.
VALORANT, Overwatch 2 and League of Legends keep their settings in your account and would overwrite a file. The report lists theirs to set in the game instead.
Downloads are not made slower โ the "disable autotuning" myth that halves your speed is left where it belongs. What changes is how fast a small packet leaves your PC and how often the adapter is allowed to nap.
Nothing that changes how an app looks or sounds. Only what it does when you are not looking at it โ which, in a game, is all the time.
Hardware acceleration on, so the voice overlay is drawn by the GPU and not your CPU. Open-with-Windows off. It is tuned while it is closed, because Discord rewrites its own settings on exit.
Hardware acceleration on, auto-start off, the friend feed off. Both the desktop and the Store version, wherever the preferences file lives. Backed up first.
No running in the background after the last window closes, no startup boost, hardware acceleration kept on. Your tabs, extensions and history are not touched.
With OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop or XSplit installed (or -Streamer on the command), the camera frame server and Windows Graphics Capture stay, even in Extreme, and the report has the encoder and capture settings. Extreme also takes out the PC maker's support agents, promotions and telemetry; on a laptop, the maker's hub that runs the fans, the battery limit and the hotkeys stays.
The camera frame server and Windows Graphics Capture. Hardware encoding (NVENC, AMF or Quick Sync), above-normal priority for OBS, Game Capture over Display Capture: in the report.
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and Acer support agents and promotions, and their data-collection services, in Extreme. Every one is listed on the transparency page and comes back from the Store.
The report says how to undervolt your GPU and CPU and set a frame cap that stays smooth. Cooler, quieter, same frames. The full guide, free.
Nothing on the PC can change your BIOS for you, and anything that claims to should frighten you. What the script can do is read your board, your BIOS version and your CPU, and write the checklist for exactly that โ which key to press, which menu each setting is under, and what to set it to. It opens at the end, and it is the most valuable page in the report.
The tune is a long list of small, ordinary changes โ registry values, service start types, a power plan, a few app settings โ and every one of them is written down with its previous value as it is made. Undo replays the list backwards.
Tweak tools from a video with no record of what they touched.
Named and dated. If anything at all feels wrong, Windows can put the whole system back to the minute before the script started. It refuses to go on without one unless you tell it to.
Reinstall Windows, usually.
Every change lands in C:\OmniDx\undo\changes-latest.json with what it was before, and undo.ps1 next to it replays them in reverse: services, tasks, registry, the power plan, the app files from their backups. No key needed, no internet needed.
The usual "optimizer" lowers your security to raise a number.
Defender, the firewall, UAC, SmartScreen and Secure Boot are not touched. Windows Update keeps working: it never restarts the PC while you are signed in, and Extreme puts it on your say-so, so updates install when you press Check for updates instead of in the middle of a match. Memory integrity (VBS) off is opt-in with -Aggressive, explained, and asked about again before it happens.
A tray icon, an updater, a service of its own.
The script runs from memory and exits. Nothing of it stays running, nothing starts with Windows, nothing checks for updates. What stays is a folder of text: the report, the checklist, the backups and the undo. The one exception, said plainly: a task that runs once at your next sign-in, writes the after-restart process count to that folder, and deletes itself. Skip it with -NoAfterCount.
Everything the tune does is a setting you can reach in Task Manager, Services, Settings, powercfg and the registry. The difference is an afternoon, a record, and knowing which ones. The by-hand list is here, with nothing to buy on it.
| By hand | A typical "optimizer" app | OmniDx Tune | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | An afternoon, and a weekend of reading | Minutes | About two minutes |
| Knows what your PC needs to keep | If you do | Rarely; one list for everyone | Reads the PC first, keeps what it finds |
| A record of every change, and undo | Only if you kept notes | Sometimes, inside the app | A file on your disk, no app needed |
| Stays installed and running | No | Yes, usually with an updater and a tray icon | No |
| Subscription | No | Often | No. Paid once |
| Lowers security to raise a number | Depends on the guide | Often, quietly | Never; one opt-in trade, asked twice |
| BIOS checklist for your board | If you find the right guide | No | Written for your board and CPU |
| You can read exactly what it does | Yes | No | Yes: every change listed, the script with your key |
You get a key on the page after you pay. The first PC that runs it becomes its PC: the script takes a fingerprint from the board, the system id and the CPU, and the key is bound to it. The same PC can run the tune again whenever it likes โ after a Windows update put a startup app back, say โ for nothing. A different PC is refused.
No account, no email to verify, no sign-in. Replaced your motherboard or bought a new rig? Email with the receipt and the key moves once. Need it on the second PC and the laptop too, or for two friends? Squad is three keys for $39.99, about the price of two.
The last block is a checksum, so a typo is caught on your PC before anything is asked of anyone. The key is real because it is on record against your order.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay or PayPal, through Square. $19.99 for one PC.
Square sends you straight back here and your key is on the screen. Saved in your browser too.
irm omnidx.net/go.ps1 | iexIt asks for administrator rights itself and opens the app. Nothing is downloaded to disk.
The window shows your PC and your process count, every phase and every startup app as a tick box, and your key. It makes the restore point, then cuts, with every change in a live log.
The report opens at the end with the exact before and after, the checklist for your board, and the settings for each of your games. Three to five minutes in all; the debloat is most of it.
The script draws its own app: your PC on the left, the tune in the middle with a tick box for every phase and every startup app, your key and the buttons on the right, the live log underneath. Undo, the free report and restart are one press each.
Drawn by the script itself on a build machine every time it changes, so the picture is never out of date. The machine in it is that build machine, not a gaming PC.
Genuine Windows from Microsoft's own USB stick, set up in one go: the OmniDx look, Windows' own search on the Windows key (this PC only), a light browser, OmniDx Hub with three presets, an overclocking guide for your exact PC and a connection page that measures your line, the lean stage, and the tune in Extreme. On a clean install, or on your PC as it is. Every value it changes is written down, and one line takes it off.
Filmed on a clean Windows 11 install: 104 processes before the tune, 61 after the restart, with Defender, Windows Update and Secure Boot all still on.
Every review here is from someone who proved they paid (their key, checked against the order), and the team reads each one before it shows.
Not sure yet? The report mode is free, needs no key, and changes nothing โ it just shows you what it would find on your PC.
