 == About
 
-.W11Boost's goals compared to alternative optimizers
-. Doesn't force you into changing your workflow or preferences. If you still want to use Insider builds or other bad ideas, you can.
-. Tries not to break any apps or programs, except DLSS Frame Generation due to stuttering issues in games (without DLSS FG).
-- If DLSS FG support is desired, run this command after installing W11Boost, use Command Prompt as Administrator: `reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers" /v "HwSchMode" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f`
-. Very easy to use.
-. Tries not to trigger anti-malware detections, so you can leave it on during W11Boost's installation.
-. Doesn't ruin your security. It can be argued however that W11Boost making updates not be forcefully installed is less secure.
