00:00Welcome back to the lab.
00:01Today, we're doing something I like to call a surgical cleanup of your Windows 11 or 10 system.
00:06If you've ever checked your task manager and seen your RAM usage sitting at 30, 40, or even 50%
00:13while you're not doing anything,
00:14you're leaving a massive amount of performance on the table.
00:18That's precious memory being wasted on background processes that you simply don't need.
00:23The goal of this 2026 masterclass is to get that idle usage down to the absolute minimum,
00:28aiming for that sweet spot between 0 and 5%.
00:32This isn't just about making numbers look good.
00:35It's about unlocking the full potential of your PC for gaming, professional work, and everything in between.
00:41So, roll up your sleeves because we're about to dive deep into the system and reclaim your resources.
00:47This is the ultimate guide to achieving a truly optimized, lightning-fast Windows experience.
00:53First up, we're heading straight into the heart of Windows, the registry editor.
00:57Don't worry, I'll walk you through every single step.
01:00Press the Windows key and R.
01:03Type regedit and hit enter.
01:05You'll need to give it administrator permission.
01:08Now carefully navigate to this path.
01:10Hey underscore, local, underscore machine.
01:12Then system, then current control set, then control, then session manager, and finally, memory management.
01:20Once you're there, we're going to change two key values.
01:24First, find clear page file at shutdown.
01:27Double-click it and change its value to 1.
01:29This tells Windows to completely clear the page file every time you shut down, preventing junk from accumulating over time.
01:36Next, find disable paging executive.
01:39Double-click this and also set its value to 1.
01:42This is a powerful tweak.
01:43It forces Windows to keep the core operating system kernel data directly in your faster RAM.
01:49Instead of swapping it out to the much slower page file on your hard drive or SSD, the immediate result
01:55is a snappier, more responsive OS, and it helps reduce the background clutter that eats up your memory.
02:01These two simple changes in the registry are the foundation for our optimization.
02:06Alright, with the registry tweaked, let's move on to the next major resource hog.
02:11Unnecessary services.
02:12Press the Windows key in R again, but this time type services.
02:18Mess C and hit enter.
02:19This opens the services window, which lists every single background process running on your machine.
02:25Many of these are completely unnecessary for the average user.
02:28First on our hit list is connected user experiences and telemetry.
02:32This service is basically Microsoft's data collection tool.
02:35It constantly monitors your usage and sends data back to their servers, using up both your RAM and internet bandwidth
02:42for no real benefit to you.
02:44Find it in the list.
02:45Right-click, go to Properties, change the startup type to Disabled, and then click Stop.
02:51Next, we're disabling SeesMain, which you might know as Superfetch.
02:55While it was intended to speed up older hard drives by pro-loading apps on modern SSDs, it's mostly redundant
03:02and can cause unnecessary disk and memory usage.
03:05Disable it the same way.
03:07Finally, find the Distributed Link Tracking Client.
03:10This service tracks linked files across a network, something most home users will never need.
03:15It's another legacy service just sitting there consuming resources.
03:19Disable it.
03:19These three services alone can free up a significant chunk of your idle RAM.
03:23Now, for a more permanent solution to that telemetry service, we're going to use the Command Prompt.
03:29Some Windows updates have been known to sneakily re-enable it, but we can prevent that.
03:34Click your Start menu, type CND, right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
03:41Once the black window pops up, I want you to type this command exactly as I say it.
03:45SC, space, config, space, a single quote, DiagTrack, another single quote, space, start, equals, space, disabled, then press enter.
03:55It should say success.
03:57This command uses the Service Control Manager to forcefully set the DiagTrack service, which is the core of Windows telemetry,
04:04to disabled.
04:04This makes it much harder for Windows updates to turn it back on behind your back.
04:09It's a powerful, definitive step to ensure that your system's resources are being used for what you want, not for
04:15corporate data collection.
04:17This is one of the pro-level tricks that separates a standard setup from a truly optimized one.
04:22Now that telemetry is locked down for good, we can be confident that it won't be secretly eating away at
04:28our performance.
04:29Even with these optimizations, a corrupted system can leak memory and cause all sorts of performance issues.
04:34So our next step is to run some essential system health checks.
04:38We'll use the Command Prompt again, running as an administrator just like before.
04:42The first command is a classic for a reason.
04:45SFC, space, forward slash, Scano.
04:49That's SFC, Scano, hit enter.
04:51This will start the System File Checker, which scans all of your protected operating system files and verifies their integrity.
04:58If it finds any files that are corrupted or have been modified incorrectly,
05:02it will automatically replace them with the correct versions from a cached copy.
05:07This process can take a few minutes, so let it run to completion.
05:11It's a crucial step for ensuring the fundamental stability of your operating system.
05:16Once it's done, we're not finished yet.
05:18We have one more command that works hand-in-hand with SFC to perform an even deeper cleanup.
05:24After the SFC scan is complete, we're going to run a DISM command.
05:29DISM stands for Deployment Image Servicing and Management,
05:32and it's an incredibly powerful tool for repairing the Windows System image itself.
05:36In the same administrator command prompt, type this command,
05:40DISM, space, online, space, cleanup image, space, slash, start component cleanup.
05:46Then press enter.
05:47What does this do?
05:49Every time Windows updates, it keeps old versions of system components just in case you need to roll back.
05:53Over time, this creates a lot of bloat.
05:55This specific command tells DISM to go through and safely remove all these outdated and superseded component versions.
06:03This not only frees up a surprising amount of disk space, but more importantly for us, it cleans up the
06:09component store,
06:10which can reduce complexity and prevent conflicts that lead to memory leaks and background process clutter.
06:15Think of it as a deep decluttering for the very foundation of Windows.
06:19Running SFC and then this DISM command is like giving your OS a full health checkup and a detox,
06:26ensuring it's clean, stable, and running efficiently from the core outwards.
06:30Now for a critical step that often gets overlooked, even by experienced builders, we need to check your BIOS.
06:37Your RAM has an advertised speed like 3,200 or 3,600 MHz, but it won't run at that speed
06:45out of the box.
06:46You have to enable it manually.
06:47To do this, you'll need to restart your computer and enter the BIOS or UEFI setup.
06:54The key to press during startup varies by motherboard manufacturer, but it's usually delete, F2, F1O, or F12.
07:02Once you're in the BIOS, you need to look for a setting called XMP, which stands for Extreme Memory Profile,
07:08or on MD systems, it might be called DOCP or EXPO.
07:13It's usually on the main overclocking or tweaking page.
07:16All you have to do is enable it.
07:18You might see one or two profiles.
07:20Just select Profile 1.
07:22This will automatically configure your RAM to run at its full, advertised speed and with the correct timings.
07:29Not doing this means you've paid for high-speed RAM but are only getting base-level performance.
07:33Enabling XMP can give you a significant performance boost in games and applications that are memory sensitive.
07:40It's free performance you're leaving on the table if you don't enable it.
07:43So let's recap what we've accomplished.
07:46We started by diving into the registry to force Windows to keep the kernel in RAM and clear the page
07:52file on shutdown for a snappier feel.
07:55Then we moved to services, disabling the telemetry, seize main, and other legacy processes that were hogging your memory for
08:02no reason.
08:02We used the command prompt to permanently lock down data collection.
08:07We then repaired our system's integrity, running SFC to fix corrupted files and DISM to clean out gigabytes of old
08:13component bloat.
08:15Finally, we jumped into the BIOS to enable XMP, ensuring your RAM is running at the maximum speed you paid
08:21for.
08:21By following these steps, you have performed a deep, surgical optimization of your Windows system.
08:27Your idle RAM usage should now be drastically lower, resting comfortably in that elite 0-5% range.
08:35Your PC is now primed for maximum performance.
08:38Whether you're a competitive gamer chasing every frame or a professional who needs a responsive, distraction-free workstation,
08:45your system is now cleaner, faster, and more efficient than ever before.
08:50And that's it.
08:51You've successfully completed the 2026 Masterclass for 0% RAM usage.
08:56Your PC should feel noticeably faster and more responsive.
