Glad to hear it, great gains there! Wouldn't hurt to run through this again every few months or after a major windows update as sometimes privacy things will get switched back on by sneak-rosoft.
Dude I love Ctt's de-bloater. As a added tip re-run CTT whenever M$ does a big update (bout every 3 months). M$ LOVES turning on telemetry and "features" after a big update.
The 2TB ssd I bought will be delivered soon. I has dreading having to redo all the tweaks I did so far. Having all these in one place will be really helpful for me. Thanks a lot 😊
Someone put up a guide to clone your windows 11 to a new ssd. You can apply the tweaks and not have to worry about redoing them now. If only they put the guide up before I installed my 2tb ssd...😢
Thanks for Ally content!! Once I get back from vacation will be using this tutorial to help get my Ally running better than I am now. You got a new sub!! Recommending this to my friends considering buying one too
I had a Steam Deck and honestly have developed a "snake oil" attitude towards a lot of this stuff after spending a lot of time with cryoutilities and the swap file tweaks tgat make the rounds and in my experience giving very minimal gains. I got a 2tb Sabrent so i figured what the hell and followed this video to a T after i installed it and windows. I am seeing massive gains in a bunch of my games. I increased graphic settings in GTAV and EA PGA tour and still have higher frames than i was getting before. Thanks for this video. Obviously debloating windows and these other things would give positive returns but i thought they would be very minimal. You made me a believer.
Thanks for the kind words as well as the input of your games operating better. It always makes me glad to hear that :) Glad my suggestions aren't snake oil 😅
Those are basically just put there to make you feel like you have some control, when in reality it’s another console that you can’t tweak and everything’s already set to lower setting. Mainly performance and quality mode is all you get on consoles. Full windows is another story. You only hate it till you understand it.
No problem! I know there are other tweaks that you can do. However I find this is a good balance of keeping everything in check. I wanted to do an overclocking portion as well, however secure boot is being a PIA and I wanted to get the general debloat guide out first. Hope any/all helped you!
No problem, glad I could help! I always find myself forgetting that there is a whole world of people out there who just don't know all of the ins and outs of a certain operating system just based on what they're used to. Similar to an iPhone user going to android or vice versa.
I always think of SD card readers as a nice option for file transfers and stuff of the like but these people who would rather game on a micro sd card over just upgrading the internal ssd are crazy
When you start Forza 5 do this: Step 1: run as administrator Step 2: when the smaller Forza 5 pop up Window is in the middle of your screen tap the Asus Armory shortcut button and change resolution from 1080p to 720p and drop Hz from 120 to 60. Step 3: wait. Just wait, and it will start. Step 4: game runs great.
Btw theoretically you could go to some computer repairs centre and request memory chip replacement, there is a chance that ally will see it without any software modifications
BE CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS, my system got messed up somewhere along the way and I had to restore the system thru asus cloud recovery since my task bar disappeared and and the screen was constantly flickering.
Great content, I've been subscribed since the ROG Ally's release, but my main critique is to keep your speaking volume more consistent. "GETTING IN FROM THE SIDE OF THE DEVICE Near The Top Would Likely be Easiest but you----............ bottom..... like I ........" lol
Hey just a idea but you should create a discord around the ROG Ally for the community can share the thoughts and recommendations or even support from the community it need be. I know it will be a hit.
I do, I just have not set it up fully yet. So I don't like to advertise it too much. Still figuring out discord mod stuff. Edit: link discord.gg/xjwSPYUrcR
I did all these changes and i got crzy good results. I tried it on assasins creed vallhala cause it has a built in benchmark. My setting were all max out expect shadows left that on medium and turn off motion blur. 1080 no fsr 32 avg. 14 min and 68 high. With fsr on 45 avg. 11 min and 102 high. All before changes. The following is after changes. 1080 no fsr 42 avg 16 min 107. With fsr 60 avg. 25 min and 127 high.
That's a really excellent boost to performance, thanks for sharing your results . I appreciate that! Also thank you for reminding me about the AC benchmark tools.
Me i installed windows 11 pro... Downloaded all drivers and software debloated.. Update everything installed sabrent 1tb Samsung 1tb sc card xg mobile dock rtx 3080... And everything runs perfect no issues what's so ever.. Although the mobile dock has its own issues ( don't like how it connects )...
I so want an xg mobile Soley for testing and such. But that will be a way, way down the line thing unfortunately... Maybe when/if they release updates models. Would love to see 7000 series xg's I loooove my 2tb. Greatest thing. SOLEY for all of these benchmarks I'm doing. The constant uninstall/reinstall, while fast due to my speeds. Was still annoying and dead time in the process.
@@WinDeckTech it's definitely a tedious process, but once don't thing runs like a dream.. I'm on the fence of returning the rtx 3080 model to get the 4090 model since its the only dock with usb type c.. Rtx 3080 dock on has standard use 3.2 gen 2 don't know why they didnt put a type c port on it like the 4090 model... I have a external 2tb wd black drive which is 10gb ( fast as hell ) but much rather connect it to type c instead of usb to usb type c.. Also i wanna see how well the 4090 can mine crypto unfortunately these mobile gpu have locked memory boost of only +300 unlike a desktop cars where you can unlock the memory and boost it +2000.
@@MASA-ARRI yeah my desktop 90, iv got clocked to 3000 MHz and I think I've only pushed memory to 800+ or so but it can go higher. I have heard there have been a lot of kinks with xg. Strange about the usb c though. I've finally gotten a UGreen dock that has usb c, not just PD. Not that I use it often it is nice to have, especially for transfer speeds. Viable to have a hard drive for a docked game library like you said.
@@WinDeckTech ill make a update video soon.. Made one mining on the 3080 dock lol trust me definitely not worth it. The cpu in the rog actually mines better than the GPU.. And I'm jealous you have a desktop 4090... My computer build on my channel are damn near 15k plus but haven't build a 4090 PC yet working on it...
Sorry about that, I always find I talk slowly in longer format videos so subconsciously I try to keep a better cadence. I suppose I went too far though. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it a lot.
You don't need to type out a huge fake email and password to bypass windows account login. Any random gibberish works. I just hit 'a' for account and 'a' for password and it tells me there's been an error and let's me through to create a local account.
I found it did break things such as my asus for some and accessing bios. So I decided to combine it with CTT and bloaty nosy to get the best of both worlds. While still getting rid of bloat through uninstalling programs manually.
Question: the fact that we earn something like one giga of ram after debloating, is it helpfull in game ? Fps or graphical improvement ? Or battery Life ? And if yes, So the video of a Guy saying that hé did not see any différence testing both tiny 11 and original rog Windows 11, is surely false ?
While I can't suggest one specifically, as I don't have any that will give 30w. I did find this list that seems to check out. I'm in Canada so all of the power banks are $100+ or so but I assume they'll be more cost effective in the states (assuming that's your location) should have a good price range on there for you. www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/best-rog-ally-battery-pack
I cant seem to adjust fan curves even in custom mode. It doesnt allow me to reduce certain points. All my gan curves are auto pre-configured. I cant really readjust them. Fresh install as well. I also find the my right trigger is the one that needs adjusting. Is this all normal? I feel as if the triggers should by defualt hit 1.00 from the start. Im still learning quite a lot about this system. Even after updating the trigger still does the same. Unless i go into usb controllers pretend to calibrate it there then go back to armoury crate and check triggers then its 'fixed' so im not sure. Its bizarre to me.
Generally speaking, how actually risky is it to disable memory integrity? If you don't do much web browsing with this thing it seems like it might be OK, but with no third-party anti-virus software, how vulnerable does disabling memory integrity actually leave the device?
Keep in mind I am NOT an IT security expert. To my loose knowledge, core isolation removes the system processes from the OS and puts them in a virtualized system. Thus, any malware attacks should not have access to the system. In my experience, even with being very, very liberal with what I do on the internet on my devices, with core isolation off I've not been a victim of any such attacks. That's not to say it can't happen, but the biggest defence against these things is good old fashioned common sense. If it looks fishy it probably is. I have only ever run Microsoft Defender since, Windows 8 I believe. It has very robust features and detection in my opinion. As well, with it being integrated into the OS unlike, Norton or Avast or John "legend" McAfee it will not bring the same system wide performance degradation As well, it has internet security features. It will (annoyingly to me) warn me about uncommon file types before initiating the download. This gives you a great frontline IMO. In the end, it's up to you. Analyze the risks and benefits. If you feel you aren't out there downloading more RAM, or Season 2 of Firefly. You should be alright. I will never say "will", again though I've been doing it for quite some time with no issues. Edit my recommendation (and my personal solution) is to buy a small form factor PC. Put Linux on it and run it as a Plex Media/rom/ill intent browser. Run a VPN on it 24/7 downloading or not.
Not sure what I did, followed the guide on debloat and now my commander center buttons on both sides of the Ally don’t work unless I go into windowed mode in my games :,)
After doing this, I’m running into an issue with Xbox cloud gaming. every time I try to start a cloud game it just crashes. I get black screen and the game crashes.
Ok but how does this all translate for battery life? As an avid Nintendo switch user I was more than excited to get this to play my pc games on the go. But after a few days with it I feel like the battery life just isn’t cutting it. I’ve watched a bunch of other videos with tips and tricks but none such as in detail as this debloating. Before I go through all this can you let me know how battery life improved?
@@WinDeckTech thanks for the very honest answer. I feel like I got swept up in the hype of this device then. For me I’d rather just play my Nintendo switch for 4-5 hours than to play 1 hour of metal gear. Maybe in the future these will be more worth buying for the portable gamer but for now I might just return mine.
@@l3ouffhard I totally understand that. The only way you could squeeze out that much battery life is obviously, if the game allows it. Play with tdp settings. You can also consider game streaming services such as GeForce now and boosteroid.
Hey thanks for the effort My device security doesn’t show a core isolation option After i had to make a software reset to the rog ally Any advices ? Thanks
i couldn't find a restore tickbox in the CTT portion of the video. granted im doing this in november and it's a new version sooo idk. it's a very different thing to follow
So sorry for the delay! My bad Only just had a chance to take a look. It looks like it has moved to clear at the top in the section of desktop, laptop, minimal
Ill check it out later. I followed the guide as much as possible. My micro SD card doesnt work atm, unsure if that broke it or if something else. Not sure how to fix it.
After using blotynosy I'm unable to play game pass games, forza horizon can't sync and percentage stuck at 0%, I've tried reinstall all Xbox services and apps, re enable from task scheduler but seems I need to reinstall windows from scratch...
Sorry you are having difficulty with this. Did you happen to have a restore point to test out? Game pass games are a pain sometimes to install there are some console commands you can use to force reinstall the Xbox stuff. I've had issues with it even without debloat
Ensuring you have the most upto date drivers should help with that. Disabling core isolation and vmp are the best possible moves those for perf increase
Is it not working at all? You can redownload it from the Asus driver site found here:rog.asus.com/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/helpdesk_download/ Under software and utility. Hope that helps, if not do a system restore point to before the changes.
I have had very good success with tapping the little window that pops up before it launches. That seems to work every time for me! If you can try it and still refund on steam if it works for you. Worth a try!
For AMD control center? No settings I just turned on the Perf. Metrics You can come tune RSR and RIS in here to your desired levels. As well as features like chill and anti lag. Anti lag should always be in, if not set it as a global application.
The AMD software that shows system, graphics, display etc. and I’m referring to what settings you might have. Like having Radeon super res on vs off, anti lag, sharpness etc. I don’t know if having these on or off at all causes a strain on system performance
@@JSiB1 go to gaming - global graphics - Radeon anti lag on everything else off. Unless you want ris (Radeon image sharpening) on. But you can toggle this with command center While still in amd* go to the settings cog, preferences, in game overlay enabled, web browser disabled advertisements off toast notifications on. Then if you go into performance under the settings menu, you can turn on in game overlay with a bit more info than the Asus one Edit: sp
Yes, you can clone the SSD, however I have found this to be a little messy, especially if it has been in use for a while. If it is a fresh drive to fresh drive, go for it.
@@WinDeckTech just got my ROG Ally and installing a few games till i get back and install the new drive. Idm reinstalling just want to make sure it still works properly
SD card could be impacting. No two devices are alike however. Double check your settings and make sure :) this video was made a little while ago now (bios updates wise)
Hello can you when help me ? I see something wrong with my rog ally when I play street fighter 6 on battery mode with turbo I can get 60 fps , but when I plug the charger it’s normal I never have this problem before
@@WinDeckTech yes is not the same performance on battery mod I loss like 10 fps but when I plugged it’s normal performance I try all mod I don’t understand
@@hafidihafidi7920 go into your operating mode and set a manual mode for 15w. When plugged in it will use 25-30 watts. When you are unplugged it runs in 15watt mode. You can use more power unplugged but it will reduce battery life. Match your sppt and spl in operating mode.
Hey man, I need some help. After I did bloaty nosy it was saying "process exited with code 0xc0000005" it wasn't giving me the option to hit yes and then restart. I swear I followed your video. Exactly to T made sure I checked through everything before I hit apply. The CTT thing went well but nosy bloating is still giving me that
