Getting started, 4 min

Run ResoTweak for the first time

Before you start

Install pending Windows and graphics-driver updates, restart once, and close the game you plan to configure.

Steps

  1. Open Dashboard and wait for the system connection status.
  2. Open Optimizer and select one small group of changes.
  3. Read the description and restart note before applying.
  4. Keep the execution result, or export its log when something needs review.
2
Core workflow, 3 min

Change one category, then test

Review

Confirm which Windows setting or file location is affected.

Capture

Let ResoTweak record the previous value when the action supports restore.

Apply

Do not stack unrelated changes into the same comparison.

Verify

Repeat the same game scene or workload before deciding.

3
Optimizer, 6 min

Apply an optimization and read its result

Use this for

Reviewed Windows gaming settings, TEMP cleanup, cache troubleshooting, startup load, DNS comparison and supported power actions.

Resolution, 5 min

Save a game display profile

  1. Open Resolution and refresh the installed-game library.
  2. Select a game, aspect ratio, resolution and refresh rate exposed by Windows.
  3. Enable automatic detection if the profile should apply when the game process starts.
  4. Use Save & Play to capture the desktop mode, apply the game mode and launch.

If the desktop mode is not restored

Fully close the game and its crash reporter or launcher child process. ResoTweak restores only after the detected game process has exited.

5
Visuals, 4 min

Build and compare an SDR profile

  1. Select the game image closest to the scene you want to tune.
  2. Drag the Before/After divider instead of changing every slider at once.
  3. Adjust brightness, contrast, gamma and colour temperature in small steps.
  4. Check the capability labels before using Black Equalizer or HDR-related controls.

Keep a neutral profile

The preview is an approximation. Validate the profile on the active display and save a neutral profile before testing a stronger look.

Recovery, 3 min

Restore the last captured state

Open Restore last, review the backup time and included settings, then restore only the captured group. A restore result is verified through the same execution flow as an optimization.

Limits

Deleted cache files cannot be recreated. External launcher settings and graphics-driver controls remain outside the Windows backup unless the action explicitly says otherwise.

Keep Windows out of the way of your game.

Start with the settings you understand, then tune from there. Every supported change keeps a way back.
