    Make a new folder anywhere you can find it again.

Setting Value
Wanted timer resolution 0.50
Enable custom timer resolution Yes
Use GlobalTimerResolutionRequests Windows 11: Yes. Windows 10: No
ISLC polling rate (ms) 500, or 250 if your PC is strong
The list size is at least 1024

You can purge the standby list manually with Purge Standby list. If a program you don't want purged gets closed, add it to Exclusion.

Free memory value

Use half your RAM in MB: RAM in GB ÷ 2 × 1024. Example with 16 GB: 16 ÷ 2 = 8, then 8 × 1024 = 8192.

Fix the timer resolution

If Current timer resolution does not show 0.5 (for example 0.997 or 0.499), do the following:

  1. Open CMD as administrator

    Search cmd in the Start menu, right-click it and choose Run as administrator.

  2. Run the commands

    Type each command and press Enter after each one:

    • bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes
    • bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes

  3. Restart your PC

    Check ISLC again: Current timer resolution should now show 0.5.
