Steps
- 1Ask Claude Code for help with computer lag or game frame drops using natural language.
- 2Have it run PowerShell to check logs, drivers, configuration files, registry values, processes, and network tests.
- 3Review the list of background services and startup programs it generates, and approve the modification plan step-by-step in phases.
- 4Execute operations based on prompts: administrator changes trigger UAC prompt scripts, BIOS changes are handled manually at boot according to menu guides, and graphical user interface apps (such as NVIDIA Control Panel) are completed using screenshots and click guides.
- 5Confirm that approved items have been disabled and review the final modification summary.
Copy-ready prompt
Help me speed up my [Windows/Mac] computer. First list the background services and startup programs that are running, and mark which ones look safe to disable and which ones I should keep and why. Don't change or remove anything until I've approved your list, and tell me how to undo each change; you're done when the approved items are disabled and you've given me a summary of what changed.
