Right-click the Windows directory, and select New > Key, and name it Windows Search.
Right-click Windows Search, and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it AllowCortana.
Double click on AllowCortana and set the value to 0.
Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Is no longer needed in windows 10.
Deactivate services (unless you know what you are doing) will NOT boost your FPS
But if you want and you know what you are doing then you can disable the services that are not relevant to you.
If you have a SSD deactivate superfetch service.
Disabling the wrong services can damage your windows 10.
~DONE~

Configure Power Management options for high performance
- Press the Windows + R.
- Type in: powercfg.cpl.
- Select a power plan, choose High Performance. SAVE....

OR with NEW WINDOWS 10!

Right-click the Windows icon on your taskbar.
Select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the list.
If prompted to give permission to the app, click Yes.
Now, copy the command below and run it via Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell:
powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb6

AFTER THIS:
Configure Power Management options for high performance
- Press the Windows + R.javascript:ValidateEditSubSectionForm()
- Type in: powercfg.cpl.
- Select a power plan, choose Ultimate Performance Power Plan. SAVE....
- Click "Change Plan Settings" and then click on "Change Advanced Power Settings"

- Under Processor Power Management, "Minimum Processor State" 100%, "System Cooling Policy" ACTIVE, "Maximum Processor State" 100%. APPLY and OK
~DONE~

Type %TEMP% in Windows search and enter.
After this you select everything and delete it.
NO WORRIES nothing can happen.
~DONE~

If you want your SSD to work a long time then disable it.
Type defrag in start and double klick.
Click on the Change settings button.
Uncheck the “Run on a schedule” box to disable automatic drive optimization completely, OK..

Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias: ALLOW
Texture Filtering - Quality: HIGH PERFORMANCE
Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization: ON
Threaded Optimization: AUTO
Triple Buffering: OFF
Vertical Sync: OFF
Virtual Reality Pre-Rendered Frames: 1

For Low Latency Mode, the options are OFF, ON, and ULTRA.

OFF: The game's engine will automatically queue 1-3 frames for maximum render throughput

ON: Limits the number of queued frames to 1. This is the same setting as Max_Prerendered_Frames = 1 from prior drivers.

ULTRA: Submits the frame just in time for the GPU to pick it up and start rendering.

If you have good/decent graphics card, I highly recommend you use ULTRA for Low Latency Mode as it gets the most out of your graphics card when you're gaming.

~DONE~

For those of you with AMD graphics drivers, this is what you're going to want to set in your Control Panel for AMD, to get the most of your gameplay.

Anti-Aliasing Mode: USE APPLICATION SETTINGS
Anti-Aliasing Method: MULTISAMPLING
Morphological Filtering: OFF
Anisotropic Filtering Mode: USE APPLICATION SETTINGS
Texture Filtering Quality: PERFORMANCE
Surface Format Optimization: ON

OpenGL Triple Buffering: OFF
Shader Cache: AMD OPTIMIZED
Tessellation Mode: OVERRIDE APPLICATION SETTINGS
Maximum Tessellation Level: OFF
GPU Workload: GRAPHICS
Chill: OFF
Frame Rate Target Control: DISABLED
-----------------------------------------------------
However many monitors you have, go to the Display tab, and make sure GPU Scaling is OFF on all monitors, because it will put more load on your graphics card to upscale or downscale any resolution you might be running if you have them ON.

Once these are done, restart your computer to apply all settings.

SOME ADDS from my manager:
>selecting threads manually in msconfig can break your system, it does that on my laptop
>Some of the regedit options depends on internet conneciton, some people use cable, some ethernet.. your options will hurt some
>If that random regedit somehow boosted your fps then services will do too, usually neither of that should boost your fps unless you play on crappy potato
>Cleaning temp will do nothing, you would have higher chance of cleaning prefetch/superfetch
>Video settings cfg shouldnt be tampered unless you really know what you are doing, and tampering with it wont magically give you more fps, nothing is that cfg that is hidden ingame.
>As for launch options:
-w -h shouldnt be used, set your resolution ingame and keep it that way
-full same as above, just set to fullscreen mode
-high dont use it, set prority manually form task manager
-threads unless you have problems with CSGO not detecting all your threads properly it shouldnt be used
-heapsize its obsolete command, shouldnt be used, csgo manages memory on its own properly
-language just select language from properties again shouldnt be used
-d3d9ex its not a command, dont put random stuff that you dont know about

USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I can only recommend it and have had no problems with my settings so far!

TimerResolution is a program that helps lower input lag resulting in better fps, less stuttering and much improved input lag for a faster, snappier gaming feel. Don't worry, it is completely safe to use. But please make sure you use the website I have included in the screenshot. That's the actual website, I wouldn't trust other sites. Please make sure before you launch CS: GO, to launch TimerResolution first, and click MAXIMUM. Then minimize the window. Once you're done playing, you can click DEFAULT, then close the program.
~DONE~

Thanks for reading my guide and making it to the end! Most of the tweaks should be self-explanatory but feel free to post a comment below if you need further help! Me and my managers "Ceriouz and howdiniN", Mr. Tariq will happily answer your questions! This guide is for advanced tweakers at the moment but I will keep adding tweaks and explanations over time to make it more attractive to less experienced users!

Thanks again for your support and feel free to follow me for more content!
