AZSIE OSPlaybook for AME Wizard

A Windows optimization playbook for gamers: more privacy, less background work and gaming tweaks, with Restore built in.

Windows 10 22H2 / Windows 11 · Requires AME Wizard

What’s inside

Pick what you want. Optional modules are off by default.

Privacy

On by default

Turns off Advertising ID, Start Menu and Lock screen suggestions, Bing results in Start Search, app launch tracking and feedback prompts.

Performance

On by default

Turns on Game Mode, turns off background apps, Game Bar recording and Game DVR, and sets Visual Effects to Best Performance and a High Performance power plan. On laptops the power plan is left alone unless you force it.

Branding

On by default

Installs the AZSIE Blue Wave wallpaper and backs up your old one so you can restore it.

Usability

Optional

Shows file extensions, opens File Explorer at This PC, and turns off the Sticky Keys, Filter Keys and Toggle Keys popups.

Competitive Profile

Optional · Admin

Gaming scheduler tweaks: network throttling off, system responsiveness 0, power throttling off, and higher GPU, game task and storage I/O priority.

UltraTweak

Optional · Extreme · Admin

Turns off 10 background services, including telemetry, error reporting and four Xbox services. Turning off Xbox services may affect Xbox features such as sign-in and cloud saves. Missing services are skipped and the original state is saved.

How to use it

Three steps.

Get AME Wizard

AME Wizard is a separate tool made by someone else, not by AZSIE. Download it from its official website.

Download the playbook

Download the .apbx file with the button on this page.

Drag it into AME Wizard

Drop the .apbx file onto AME Wizard, choose your options, and let it run.

Run it with your eyes open

Here is what it never touches, and how to undo it.

What we never do

AZSIE OS does not turn off Windows Defender, Windows Update or UAC, does not turn off CPU security mitigations, and does not delete Windows system files.

Restore is built in

It creates a System Restore Point first (when run as Administrator), saves the original values to %LOCALAPPDATA%\AZSIE OS\state.json and logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\AZSIE OS\logs. You can restore everything or just one module.

Supported Windows

Windows 10 build 19045 (22H2). Windows 11 builds 22621 (22H2), 22631 (23H2), 26100 (24H2) and 26200. Other builds are not supported.

Permissions

Most modules run as a standard user. Competitive Profile, UltraTweak, System Restore and installing AZSIE Hub need Administrator.

It can install AZSIE Hub

It checks the latest release on GitHub, verifies the file size and SHA-512 from latest.yml, and installs silently. If a check fails, nothing is installed.

Download from the official link only

Use the download button on this page. We can’t vouch for files that have been re-shared.

AME Wizard is a separate tool

AZSIE is not affiliated with AME Wizard. Read its own instructions, including anything it asks you to do before running a playbook.

Why Windows or your antivirus may warn

Playbooks change system settings with scripts, so SmartScreen or antivirus tools may warn you. Only run files from our official link.

Playbooks change many settings. Create a restore point or back up your data first, and try it on a test PC if you can.
