Hack Windows 8 for stability and faster speed.
The Microsoft introduced a new version of Windows that is Windows 8 which is the worst version of Windows yet. Most of us may have upgraded to see the power of Windows 8 LOL. I have also upgraded to Windows 8 by mistake now I regret it. But do not worry I have found some of the ways to maintain the stability of Windows 8 and the speed!
To maintain the stability of Windows 8 you can do the following-
Uninstall Programs completely without leaving their registries in Windows 8
Uninstalling program using Windows uninstall panel is not a good idea because Windows 8 uninstall panel is not effective as it leaves registries of the program. I recommend using third party software like Iobit-uninstaller.
This program does not install on your computer, it is potable, fastest and easiest way to uninstall the program, also delete the unwanted registries of the program.
Do not misuse the Virtual Memory in Windows 8
Virtual Memory is the way to adding ram to your system to perform some action. This is not confirmed that Virtual Memory causes problem to the stability of Windows 8. But I have experienced it, this usually happens when you have more than 10 icons and you are using Virtual Memory for a long time let's say about a week. I don't know how it affects the stability or may be it is my problem only so it is up-to you use it or not.
Windows 8 has many security bugs which makes it vulnerable from malware attacks. Microsoft provides updates to fix bugs but the updates downloaded slows down computer. I recommend using some reputed anti-virus programs like ESET NOD 32 (my favorite). You need to buy the soft to get some nice features however there is free trial but it expires as it is free trial. If you don't have money to spend on anti-virus I recommend you to use Iobit-Malware-Fighter.

These were the precautions you can take. Now let us see some real hacks.
To increase the speed of the Windows 8 you can do the following-
Increase RAM performance in Windows 8
Increasing RAM means increasing Windows 8 speed which is our main objective in this tutorial. This is hack will not overclock RAM or damage it will only give RAM more rights by that I mean OS will not limit the RAM usage. So to do the following you need to be an administrator.
1. Open CMD as administrator
2. Type the following "system.ini" do not include inverted commas or quotation marks.
3. Change [386Enh] to [30000Enh]
and add these two lines also, just after the above code.
LoadLocalHigh=1
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
4. Press Ctrl + S to save the file.
You can see this- Increase RAM speed. I have made a complete guide on how to increase ram speed
and add these two lines also, just after the above code.
LoadLocalHigh=1
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
4. Press Ctrl + S to save the file.

Faster Copying in Windows 8
This hack is for faster copying/pasting files in Windows 8 or any other. I was trying to copy data from two pen drives simultaneously it was taking too long and was not able to copy files. I checked my pendrive for viruses/errors found nothing then I started research and I found that soft Tera Copy kicked other copier software by a great margin. I have buyed this soft but the same features can be achieved by a free version, it does not expires.
Temporary Files Removal
Temporary files are created by Windows randomly when we open some program or do any other work. It is recommended everywhere on the web to clean temporary files every two-three days. I will post some codes that you can use to clean the temporary files.
The well known code.
1. Open Run
2. Type "%temp%" without quotations.
3. Press Enter and delete everything in it.
Some other codes are as follows-
1. "TEMP"(Case-sensitive, see that it is capslocked)
2. "prefetch"( Other type of temporary files, they are log files of security updates and all that.)
Windows 8 is not a bad OS even with these drawbacks(maybe more) it is just that it is not what we expected. You can achieve stability and speed in Windows 8 after using these tricks, tips, precautions or hacks whatever you call it.
I hope you liked this post, one of my first.
Hope you liked it a lot and you are going to return in future to see more hacks, tricks and tips.
The modifications to system.ini are complete nonsense. Not only will you not find any support for this in any Microsoft documentation but it contradicts what has been documented for decades.
