Intelligent standby list cleaner (ISLC) v1.0.3.4 Released

[Wagnard]

What does GlobalTimerResolutionRequests do?

The behavior of the timer resolution on Windows changed with the release of Windows 10 v2004 to be per-process instead of system-wide as previously.
Windows 11 received the ability to restore the previous behavior through a registry value.
This is what GlobalTimerResolutionRequests do.

Okay. Does this mean we should tick this if we want everything in our system is running at 0.5 max timer resolution?

If this is what you want, yes this option is exactly for that.
Please note a reboot is need when changing this option for it to take effect

feature Request
extra Option to clear standby list if it goes over a certain threshhold
example
clear standby list if

list size is at least X
AND
Free memory is less than X
OR
Listsize is X

this way the standby list never grows untill the point the system runs low on memory and it allows the user to set a hard limiter on how large the standby list can get
a nice to have might be per process rules
so if I whitelist a process but still want the cache cleared (e.g a game that uses large ammounts of memory) I can do that by setting the rules

Hi!

I found a link to this tool in a Youtube video with instructions to use these cmd commands:
bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock

It says to revert back, use these:
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
bcdedit /set useplatformtick no
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick no

I unchecked everything in ISLC and used those commands but now Windows 10 is lagging like crazy, as it was before I used those commands and Current timer resolution was 0.5, as it was advised to set it in that video. So, with the commands that should revert everything and ISLC tool not running after a reboot, Windows 10 are unusable. Please help, how can I make it run normally as it was before using this tool?

The problem is not the tool but the commands you did.

Just do theses, reboot and enjoy ISLC.

bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformtick
bcdedit /deletevalue disabledynamictick

If you still have issues, you can post the BCDEDIT result here and I'll tell you what to do to go back at default.

This worked! Thank you very much!

Hi dear Wagnard,

first of all I want to say thank you for your amazing tools. Espec. DDU saved my arse so many times, when the old ATI / AMD drivers where playing bad jokes with my PC.

Now - I still really like to use DDU in some cases but focused actually on ISLC.

I searched & clicked a lot thru the forum but I can't find not on my life 2 informations I'm looking for:

#1.

My ISLC won't autostart with my Windows 10. I activated the program in taskmanager - so it should work? But it does'nt. Also with the "shell:startup" folder I copied the "Intelligent standby list cleaner ISLC.exe" - but it does not autostart.

Am I missing anything ?

(viewtopic.php?t=3835 <- this guy had the same problem - but the solutions there did not work for me)

#2.

Where can I find a simple and clean structured advice - how to setup a fresh ISLC for different scenarios ?
Of course I can use the advice p.e. "Panjno" gives on youtube, but tbh I wan't to double check the "recommended" settings straight from Wagnard.

I hope you can help me.

Hi,
Usually theses using BOTH option will do the trick.

Screenshot 2024-10-24 073241.png (5.72 KiB) Viewed 29439 times

First option with make ISLC start monitoring automatically and lower it on the system tray.
Second option make ISLC launch automatically +- 30 seconds after a user logon. (this option add an entry within Task Scheduler)

does not work for me here.

ISLC still does not open automatically.

Is there any value that I can check too ? Some stuff in the services?

When theses option are ticked, check it an entry for ISLC is added within the Task Scheduler.
