4 Easy Steps to Increase FPS in Games

Hi guys! Today I will show you 4 easy things you can do to get a few more FPS in games.

Before we begin, do a backup of your PC to make sure you are safe if something goes wrong.

I have to say I do this for years regularly (I mean I do this every time I restart my PC which is often) and not a single time I have had any problems, literally never.

For that 0.01% chance though, I recommend you do a backup.

I warn you to do this on your own responsibility.

Even though I am 99.9% sure nothing will go wrong, I just say this so that you don’t blame me if something goes wrong.

I have also made a Youtube video that shows the whole process that I describe below. The images are from that video. Here is the link.

Now let’s begin.

First Step

Press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: prefetch.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that.

Then close the window.

Second Step

Now, press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: temp.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that. Click Continue if a window pops up like it did just now.

Then close the window.

Third Step

For the last time, press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: %temp%.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that.

Then close the window.

Make sure to Empty Recycle Bin. If a window pops up while you Empty the Recycle Bin then click Continue.

Fourth Step

The last thing that you can do to improve FPS in games, is to find the game’s .exe file (sometimes the .exe has a shortcut on Desktop, but if it is a steam game for example then you will probably have to find the .exe file on your game files).

I will show you an example of where to find the .exe file if it is a steam game after I explain what to do if the .exe file has a shortcut on Desktop.

Now if the game’s .exe has a desktop shortcut, then right-click on it and then click Properties.

Then click on the Compatibility Tab (You won’t see this tab if it is a steam game and you will have to find the .exe file, so wait for me to show where to find it later).

Then make sure that Disable fullscreen optimizations box is checked.

After that click Change high DPI settings. Make sure that both boxes in the window that appears are checked.

Then click OK in that window and then click Change settings for all users. Make sure that Disable fullscreen optimizations is checked there, and below that, click Change high DPI settings, and in the window that pops up make sure that both boxes are checked.

After that Click OK in that Window, then click OK again and click OK one more time to close the last window.

Now I will show you where to find the .exe for steam games.

Open Steam and click Library. Right-click on the game you want from the left and click Properties.

Then in the window that opens up, click the Local Files tab.

After that click Browse Local Files. Then open Binaries Folder, then open Win32 folder and you found the game’s .exe.

Right-click on it, then click Properties and do the things I mentioned before.
