Make the system need way less ressouces and get way more raw compute power.

There‘s a reason i wrote a hint about the security. If you keep this in mind and know what you are doing (like take such a setup as a base for VMs) this totally fine.

I am also not aware of any Spectre/Meltdown exploits ever to be found in the wild. If you are not running on a shared system i don’t see a need for those mitigations.

Regarding the third party tool: NTlite uses `dism` under the hood with which you can achieve the same results. You are already sending your DNS to a third party (like your ISP).

You also should never ever alter the hosts file and abuse it for ad blocking and such.

Microsoft supplies the latest group policies for their software. Or how else do you handle those on a local system?

I never said my post was about security but on how to alter your local system in a „more correct“ way with a clear hint about security. If you don’t know what you are doing then you should think twice when touching your system.
