🔧 Migliorie e Funzionalità Principali

1. 🌍 Aggiornamento Online: Creata funzione Update-DatabaseFromOnline che punta correttamente al nuovo Gist e usa Normalize-BenchmarkToScore.

2. 🗃️ Auto-apprendimento: Aggiunto funzioni Update-DatabaseWithDetectedComponents e Save-DatabaseAfterScan. In questo modo, il database locale "impara" i componenti che non conosce utilizzando i punteggi di fallback, per poi salvarli.

3. 🌐 Localizzazione: Ampliato enormemente il dizionario $DICT.

4. 🗃️ Database e Valutazione Avanzata Punteggi Precisi: Utilizza un Sistema di Database Dinamico (locale e aggiornabile online) con punteggi basati su benchmark reali (es. PassMark) per CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD/HDD.

Algoritmi Avanzati: Valutazione hardware raffinata:

RAM: Punteggio combinato (70% dimensione, 30% velocità).

Storage: Distinzione e bonus prestazionale per SSD NVMe, SSD SATA e HDD.

CPU/GPU: Punteggi basati su core, thread, frequenza, architettura e generazione.

1. 🛡️ Analisi Sicurezza e Ottimizzazioni di Sistema Verifica critica delle configurazioni di sicurezza e ottimizzazione di Windows:

Sicurezza: Controllo dello stato del TPM 2.0 e dell'attivazione di Secure Boot.

Ottimizzazioni: Analisi di parametri chiave come:

Stato di CPU Parking.

Stato di GPU Hardware Scheduling.

Configurazione HPET.

Analisi del Piano di Alimentazione (Power Plan) e stato della Xbox Game Bar.

1. 🌍 Usabilità e Interfaccia Utente (UI) Interfaccia Multilingua: Rilevamento automatico della lingua (Italiano/Inglese) con dizionario completo per tutti i testi e messaggi.

Affidabilità: Gestione robusta degli errori, scansione non bloccante per mantenere la UI reattiva, e gestione ottimizzata della memoria.

Aggiornamenti: Sistema di aggiornamento integrato per il download incrementale dei dati online, con fallback in assenza di connessione.

1. Correzione Rilevamento Disco Primario - Gaming PC Check:
2. Problema Risolto

3. Issue: Lo script identificava erroneamente il disco primario del sistema operativo come HDD invece che SSD, causando una valutazione inaccurata delle prestazioni

4. 📈 Miglioramenti:

5. Affidabilità: Minor dipendenza da strutture WMI complesse
6. Precisione: Rilevamento corretto SSD/HDD per disco sistema
7. Punteggio accurato: Bonus SSD applicati correttamente (+3 punti)

8. Compatibilità: Funziona su diverse configurazioni hardware

9. Riconoscimento GPU integrata completo:

10. Intel: UHD Graphics, HD Graphics, Iris Xe
11. AMD: Radeon Graphics, Vega Graphics, RX serie integrata

12. Pattern di riconoscimento più accurati

13. Logica di selezione GPU primaria:

14. Priorità alle GPU dedicate
15. Tra le dedicate, sceglie quella con punteggio più alto

16. Solo se non ci sono dedicate, usa le integrate

17. Punteggi appropriati per GPU integrate:

18. Punteggio massimo limitato per GPU integrate
19. Bonus per GPU integrate più potenti (Iris Xe, Radeon 680M/780M)

20. Stima VRAM realistica basata sulla RAM di sistema

21. Visualizzazione chiara:

22. Mostra esplicitamente "GPU PRIMARIA"
23. Elenca le altre GPU rilevate separatamente

24. Calcola il punteggio complessivo SOLO con la GPU primaria

25. Suggerimenti contestuali:

26. Suggerisce upgrade GPU solo per GPU dedicate con punteggio basso
27. Non suggerisce upgrade per GPU integrate (sarebbe inutile)

Ora lo script: - ✅ Rileva correttamente tutte le GPU (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA) - ✅ Distingue tra integrate e dedicate - ✅ Seleziona automaticamente la GPU primaria attiva - ✅ Calcola il punteggio solo sulla GPU primaria - ✅ Mostra tutte le GPU rilevate ma usa solo quella principale per il voto.

📝 Notes for Users

The CPU parking status indicator provides real-time feedback on whether your CPU cores are currently parked (power-saving mode) or unparked (full performance mode). This helps users verify that the performance optimizations are actually taking effect.

🔍 Technical Details

The feature monitors the registry key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583

Values: - ValueMax = 0 → CPU Unparked (Performance Mode) - ValueMax = 1 → CPU Parked (Power Saving Mode)

✨ Optimizations at a Glance

This version introduces a series of powerful optimizations, each of which can be enabled or disabled from the user interface.

Optimization	Detailed Description
🔕 Disable Windows Notifications	Disables all system notifications to prevent annoying pop-ups and micro-stuttering that can disrupt gaming fluidity.
🌐 Disable Network Throttling	Prevents the system from throttling your network card's bandwidth to save power. Crucial for preventing lag and latency spikes in online games.
🧹 Clear DNS Cache	Flushes the system's DNS cache to resolve potential connection issues and improve response times (ping) with game servers.
💾 Disable Hibernation	Disables the hibernation feature to free up gigabytes of valuable disk space (by deleting hiberfil.sys) and reduce overall system load.
🎯 Disable Mouse Acceleration	Provides a true 1:1 mouse response by removing pointer acceleration at the OS level. Essential for precision in FPS games and e-sports.
🔄 Disable Windows Update	Temporarily stops the Windows Update service from downloading and installing updates in the background, which consumes resources and causes FPS drops.

⚙️ How It Works: The Technical Details

The tool temporarily modifies system settings to maximize performance. Here’s a look under the hood:

• Service Management: Stops and disables a curated list of background services and telemetry activities that consume CPU, memory, and network cycles.
• CPU Management: Disables CPU "Core Parking" to ensure all cores are active and ready. It also activates the "Ultimate Performance" power plan to ensure the processor runs at its full potential without throttling.
• System & Memory Tweaks: Applies registry modifications to optimize thread scheduling, memory management (by prioritizing system cache and keeping drivers in RAM), and visual effects.
• Game Bar & DVR Removal: Disables services and registry keys related to the Windows Game Bar and background recording features that can impact performance.
