Brickman # # Speeds up Windows 8+/2012+, with special attention to 10 and up. Specifically: # # 1. Set MMAgent for performance. This includes Superfetch, prefetching, # memory compression, and page combining. Far better to do these things, # than to just turn Superfetch off. # # 2. Removes several AppX packages which Microsoft has preloaded, whose # contents may pop up without warning, eating resources. This includes # the consumer-grade email/calendar/contacts apps, several Xbox gaming items, # et cetera. # # 3. Turns off preloading of the Edge browser. # # 4. Turns off Game Mode. # # The latter two changes identified by the extraordinary Joe Busby. # # Copyright 2019 Jonathan E.
