*Ram Recovery Win 10+ Windows is eating your Ram for something you never open:
  • CTRL + SHIFT + ESC (TASK MANAGER)
  • sort by memory tab
  • look for widget. On a lot of machines It will sitting there after boot, eating hundreds of megabytes, for a panel, you never open. It's a full browser engine running for a weather icon and even with the task bar toggle off your lock screen widgets keep it alive. That's the part nobody tells you. Next do this:
    • windows + X
    • open terminal as Admin
    • type winget uninstall "windows web experience pack" followed by enter.
    • Type "Y" to accept
    • restart computer to remove
    Widgets is gone. The panel is gone. And that memory goes back to you. Microsoft gave you a toggle that hides it and no button that removes it.

* dccw
You can open the built-in Display Color Calibration Wizard in Windows by pressing Windows Key + R, typing "dccw", and pressing Enter
What is DCCW?
  • DCCW stands for Display Color Calibration Window (or dccw.exe).
  • It is a hidden, native Windows tool designed to improve your monitor's color accuracy without needing third-party software.
How to Use the Wizard
  • Open the Tool: Press Win + R, type dccw, and hit Enter (or search for "calibrate display color" in the Start menu).
  • Reset Your Monitor: Follow the prompt to restore your monitor's physical settings to factory defaults using its hardware buttons.
  • Adjust Gamma: Move the slider until the small dots in the center of the circles are barely visible.


The dccw (Display Color Calibration Wizard) command adjusts whichever specific monitor the wizard's window is currently sitting on.

If you use a multi-monitor setup, the utility does not prompt you to select a monitor from a menu. Instead, you must drag the Display Color Calibration window onto the exact screen you want to adjust before clicking "Next" and going through the wizard.

The tool allows you to fine-tune that specific display's:
  • Gamma: Balances the relationship between light emission and color values.
  • Color Balance: Adjusts red, green, and blue sliders to remove color tints from neutral grays.
  • Brightness & Contrast: Guides you through making manual adjustments using your physical monitor's built-in buttons.

*sysdm.cpl

Slow PC

  • Type sysdm.cpl
  • Go to the advance tab
    • hit Performance -> settings
    • Choose adjust for best performance
    • Apply
  • okay
This will increase your PC performance, making older or lower end pc run faster than before.

Note: I did not like the results so instead of adjust for best performance I went with Custom and checked the following:
  • Show thumbnails instead of icons
  • Show translucent selection of rectangle
  • Show window content while dragging
  • Smooth edges of screen fonts
  • Smooth-scroll list boxes


Remove visual effects that slow my PC down?
Run -> sysdm.cpl -> enter -> "Advanced" tab -> Performance "Settings" -> default is "Let windows choose". I tried "best performance" but my screen fonts were not as clear and image files lose the picture and show a simple icon. Select "custom" and Keep "Show thumbnails" and "Smooth edges of screen fonts"

run -> verifier -> check for unsigned drivers
