accessing it is akin to walking barefoot across a minefield, as one false step can easily
break your OS. However, there are certain modifications that you can make via the
Registry Editor to enhance the UI and other functionalities of Windows 11. In this
article, we’ve compiled a list of the ten best tricks that you can pull off inside the
Registry Editor for a better Windows experience.

Warning
Be sure to back up your important files and create a Restore Point before you
attempt the suggestions mentioned in the article. Although we’ve verified all
the methods on the latest version of Windows 11, it’s still possible to mess
things up if you’re not careful. We also recommend exercising extreme
caution when you navigate the Registry Editor because even a single mistake
can brick your OS.

Enable Verbose mode
You might not be able to read all the outputs on a fast SSD
Designed for those who love tinkering and troubleshooting, the Verbose mode on
Windows 11 displays dynamic information on the PC’s status during startup and
shutdown. By default, it’s disabled on the OS, though you can enable it via the
Registry Editor.
To do so,

Disable the Weather/News icon in the Taskbar
It can get rather distracting at times
Among other utilities, Windows 11 includes the option to check the weather and the
news widgets from the taskbar. But if you find it annoying, then it’s possible to disable
the icon and its pop-up screen using the Registry Editor.
1. Head to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft.

Modify the Taskbar alignment
For those who want the classic alignment
Besides changing the layout of the Start menu, Windows 11 brought noticeable
changes to the Taskbar, many of which weren’t (and still aren’t) appreciated by the
community. So, if you’re someone who dislikes the alignment of the new Taskbar, you
can change a registry key in the Registry Editor to make it more bearable.
1. Once you’ve opened the Registry Editor, navigate to the

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl

Disable Network Throttling
To remove the shackles on your network speed
Just like power throttling, Windows 11 has another limiter on the network side. While
the network throttling parameter in Windows 11 doesn’t typically affect daily usage, it
can cause some issues for tasks that require minimal latency and high Internet
speeds. So, you can disable it via the Registry Editor to avoid any OS-created
bottlenecks to your network's performance.

Reduce resource allocation to background tasks
To prioritize your games and hardware-intensive apps
Although Windows 11 diverts most resources to resource-intensive tasks, it leaves a
small percentage of CPU cores, memory, storage, and other specs available for
background tasks. The default value assigned to it is 20%, which shouldn’t be an issue
for most users. But if you’re on an exceptionally low-powered system, it might be a
good idea to turn this value down a notch to get some extra frames while gaming.
1. Just like the last time, enter the

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile directory.

to five seconds, though you can reduce it to two seconds to decrease the shutdown

While we’re on the subject of the context menu, you have noticed a couple of apps,

the help of the Windows Registry tool.
