NICESHOT OPTIMISATION
A Windows application that tunes Windows, your network and your graphics settings from one window, checks that the machine took each change, and can put its changes back.
WHY IT EXISTS
A long list of settings that can be changed is not the same as a short list that should be. Niceshot looks at what the machine is first, changes what will actually help it, and leaves the rest alone, however often the rest is recommended elsewhere.
A setting earns its place by making the machine better to use. Where that cannot be shown, it stays out.
Responsiveness and stability are part of the same result as speed. A machine that is quicker at the cost of being less reliable has not been improved.
Hardware varies enough that the right set of changes on one PC is often the wrong set on the next, so Niceshot works it out per machine.
WHAT IT OPTIMISES
Each has its own page. Niceshot checks that the machine took every change it makes, and can put its changes back.
The system itself: how it behaves day to day, what it runs in the background, and how its devices hand their work to the processor.
The adapter, and how it hands its work to the rest of the machine.
Driver settings applied as a single profile, with the card's own readings shown alongside.
Not every area needs a chapter of its own.
How each device delivers its work to the processor, and which cores it is allowed to use. This is part of the Windows page rather than a page of its own.
What the machine is made of, and the platform security features that anti-cheat systems look for.
Bundled Windows apps and components removed, with the optional ones offered as a choice and kept reversible.
HARDWARE AWARE
What is worth changing depends on what the machine is made of. Niceshot checks the system it is running on first, applies what is relevant to that system, and leaves the rest out rather than applying everything and hoping.
The system and its hardware are read before anything is applied, so the changes are chosen for that machine rather than for an average of all of them.
Where an optimisation does not apply to the hardware that is present, it is not offered as though it did.
Where something cannot be applied on the machine in front of it, the app says so rather than reporting a result it did not get.
CONTROL AND VISIBILITY
Niceshot is built so you can see what it has done, choose what it does, and undo it if you disagree.
Each page shows whether it is optimised and what the machine is currently set to, rather than reporting a job done and leaving it there.
Where a change is a matter of taste rather than of performance, it is offered as a choice instead of being applied for you.
The original setting is captured before anything is written, so the changes made in a session can be restored.
Some changes only take effect after a restart. Niceshot says so at the time rather than leaving you to work it out.
THE APPLICATION
Every page works the same way: read the state, apply what is worth applying, and read back what the machine did with it. Nothing is buried, and nothing needs a second application to undo.

FAQ
No. What is applied depends on the machine it is running on and on what is worth changing. Where an optimisation does not apply to the hardware present, it is not applied, and it is not presented as though every machine needs it.
Yes. It changes protected Windows settings, so it asks for elevation and you see a UAC prompt each time it starts.
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.
Yes. Niceshot captures the original setting before it writes, so the changes made during the current session can be put back. The Restore page keeps a record of them.
No. It changes settings, checks that the machine took them, and reports what changed. It does not benchmark, measure frame rate or latency, or quote a performance figure.
NICESHOT OPTIMISATION
Six areas, one window, and a rule that has not moved: every change is chosen because it helps the system it is running on.
