block device VS leave device along

1. powercfg -devicequery wake_from_any
gives you list of devices capable of waking the computer

2. now, block them:
powercfg -devicedisablewake "HID Keyboard Device"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 1E26"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "USB Root Hub"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 6 - 1E1A"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "USB Input Device"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "USB Input Device (001)"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "USB Input Device (002)"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Xeon(R) processor E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port - 0155"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "HID-compliant vendor-defined device"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Logitech Gaming HID Device"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "ACPI Power Button"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "USB Composite Device"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Generic USB Hub (001)"
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Xeon(R) processor E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port - 0151"

Appreciate you mentioning stuff that you think decreases or does not increase SQ, JC - I salivate over anything that lets me disable anything in Windows, for my own personal tweaking ethos, so it's fun. Have always wondered about further exploitations of powercfg, these appear to be such. I keep wondering what more Powershell can do...

listen to bass. less in quantity. so SQ less. if you have different experience. post it.

powershell API cannot do anything MS doesn't want you to do. hehe... so...

post some tweaks here. pls pls pls. i need about 10-50 more changes that affects micro-details.

cancelled viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2456&p=52858#p52858

updated tweak 27 viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2456&p=49151#p49151

i was sloppy. didn't test balance power plan for intel hd graphic. it is the best. only plan that keeps micro-details.
"maximum performance" = more air. micro lost.
"power saving" = least air.

----TWEAK 56-----
windows power plan

1. choose high performance.
2. type 'never' turn off harddisk.
2. done...


if you want to say bye bye to micro-details, then go inside the plan, and change settings related USB, PCIe, wake timers...
(less micro-details = more easy to get air)

critical listening using airy feeling is not accurate.

EDITED

updated viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2456&p=51020#p51020

FilterSupportedFeaturesMode=1 maybe bad idea in certain jitter environment. watch out

as for NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate=1, this has become default for R2. no need to do anything

Unfortunately, the devicedisablewake powercfg tweak doesn't work for me - enumerating the devices that are allowed with -devicequery wake_from_any works, but when I attempt to -devicedisablewake most of them I get an error saying I do not have "permission" to change that wake setting. This is not helped by running cmd as Admin etc., and I can't find a fix from searching Google other than turning "on" wake on USB setting in BIOS, which I don't have in my BIOS. However, listing -devicequery wake_programmable gives me the mouse and keyboard, which I can -devicedisablewake just fine.

As for more tweaks, sorry, I've been really inactive with OS/software tweaks for some time, pretty much following your lead at this point... have been concentrating on power filtering tweaks/hardware tweaks.

I saw that you posted a tweak in the lektplayer thread some ways back about reducing cmd's window size with its Properties section, as well as a few other settings - have found this to be beneficial for MQn, too, I think. Little bit of an improvement...

is windows 8.1 actually newer and better?

wmic works since xp. in a way, it is more easy to use than powershell.

1. type "wmic product" in command prompt
it lists things that you can uninstall that don't exist before!

2. these all my ATI help files. useless. uninstalled them. recovered few 100MBs:

wmic product where name="CCC Help Portuguese" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Chinese Standard" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Greek" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Turkish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Japanese" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Norwegian" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Korean" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Hungarian" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Swedish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Thai" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Spanish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Chinese Traditional" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Finnish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help French" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Polish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Russian" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Italian" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Danish" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Dutch" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help German" call uninstall
wmic product where name="CCC Help Czech" call uninstall
