Enabling Auto Login & High Performance Power Plan

By enabling automatic login, you shave off unnecessary seconds at boot and avoid session delays that can stack up — especially on a streamlined, gaming-only system.

Meanwhile, activating the High Performance power plan ensures your CPU and GPU consistently operate at their full capabilities without being throttled by energy-saving mechanisms. This is crucial for achieving stable, high FPS in competitive games via GameLoop.

PART 1: Enable Automatic Login

Auto-login skips the Windows password prompt, logging you into the desktop immediately after boot. This is ideal for single-user setups optimized for gaming.

📍 Step-by-Step:

1. Press Win + R, type netplwiz, and hit Enter.
   (This opens the User Accounts panel.)

2. In the list, select your Windows user account.

3. Uncheck the box that says:
   “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.”

4. Click Apply.

5. A dialog will appear asking for your password.
   Enter your current Windows password twice and click OK.

Done! Your system will now log in automatically upon startup.

PART 2: Activate High Performance Power Plan

By default, Windows may be running a “Balanced” or “Power Saver” plan — which limits CPU and GPU performance. Let’s fix that.

📍 Step-by-Step:

1. Press Win + R, type control, and press Enter.

2. Go to:
   Hardware and Sound → Power Options

3. Click Show additional plans if necessary.

4. Select High Performance from the list.

💡 Note: On laptops, this setting may drain battery faster — but on a desktop or plugged-in device focused solely on gaming, it’s ideal.

Final Result

• Your system boots straight to desktop with no delay.

• Your CPU and GPU run at full power with no throttling.

• Faster loading and improved in-game responsiveness on GameLoop.
