*This tweak works for all operating systems

When Windows shuts down it activates a service called "wait to kill service timeout". This service is set by default to 12-20 seconds before your PC can actually be shut off. It waits mainly to make sure all of your programs are properly closed but it is not needed. Follow these steps to speed up your shutdown.

1. Click Start, Run and type Regedit
2. Once in regedit, navigate to the following line: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
3. Click on Control and look at the right-hand side
4. Double-click on "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" and set the value data to 1000 (1 second)
5. Close regedit and Reboot your computer

*With this tweak I saved about 6 seconds off my shutdown speed*

By default, Windows reserves 20% of your bandwidth for very few purposes to make some tools, like Windows Update, run a bit faster, but not by much. Here's how to set the bandwidth limit to 0%:
 *This tweak might not work depending on your network adapter

1. Click Start, Run and type gpedit.msc
2. In the Computer Configuration tab, expand Administrative Templates and then expand Network
3. Click on QoS Packet Scheduler
4. On the right side, double-click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth
5. In the windows, make sure it is Enabled and then set the Bandwith Limit to 0%

NOTE: Disabling this feature or Not Configuring it, the system will still use 20% of reservable bandwidth

Hope it helps!

Temp files are files that programs backup when a program crashes, or has to keep some info about it which drastically slows down your PC by overloading these entries into the folder. It is recommended to delete these entries manually rather than having a program delete them for you. Here's how to do so:

1. Click Start, Run
2. Type %temp%
3. Delete whatever folders that pop-up

*It is also recommended to do this at least once daily to sustain performance

There you go
