# ⚡ Soda Optimizer

**Soda Optimizer** is a powerful Windows-based performance optimizer built for gamers, power users, and enthusiasts. It applies deep system-level tweaks, aggressively manages background processes, and ensures complete restoration after gameplay or heavy tasks. Designed with precision and safety in mind, Soda Optimizer improves real-time system responsiveness while monitoring critical performance metrics.

## 🚀 Core Optimization Features

### 🔋 Power Management

- Switches to the **High Performance** power plan.

- Command used:

powercfg /setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

- Automatically restores the original power plan post-optimization.

---

### 🎮 GPU Optimization

#### NVIDIA

- Enables persistence mode.

- Increases power limit to **125W**.

#### AMD

- Sets GPU to high-performance profile.

- Increases engine clock to **1200MHz**.

> ✅ GPU settings are fully restored after optimization ends.

---

### 🧠 Process Management

An advanced, intelligent system for real-time background process control.

#### Key Features

- Selective termination of unnecessary background processes.

- Multi-layer protection for critical system components including:

- `explorer.exe`

- `System`, `svchost.exe`, `lsass.exe`, etc.

- Hardware communication and core Windows services.

#### Whitelist Management (via `whitelist.json`)

```json

[

"System",

"smss.exe",

"csrss.exe",

"wininit.exe",

"services.exe",

"lsass.exe",

"svchost.exe",

"dwm.exe",

"TrustedInstaller.exe"

]

```

Includes **30+ pre-configured Windows core services** for protection.

### 🔁 State-Aware Restoration

- Tracks all terminated process states and their original arguments.

- Automatically relaunches protected processes if terminated.

- Restores `explorer.exe` without user input if missing.

### 🛡 Built-In Safety Measures

- Performs system stability checks before terminating any process.

- Analyzes process dependencies to prevent chain failures.

- Guarantees that **at least 2 critical core processes** remain running.

- Includes a fallback restoration mechanism in case of unexpected failure.

### 📉 Performance Overhead

- **CPU usage:** <1% during active monitoring.

- **Memory footprint:** ~15MB RAM.

### 🧼 Memory Management

- Clears standby memory to free up cached RAM and reduce clutter.

- Utilizes `EmptyStandbyList.exe` (must be present in system `PATH`).

- Helps reduce memory pressure for high-performance tasks.

---

### 💽 Disk Optimization

- Disables built-in Windows defragmentation to reduce background I/O:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction

- Adjusts virtual memory (pagefile) for optimized memory handling:

- **Initial size:** 1.5 × RAM

- **Maximum size:** 3 × RAM

- All virtual memory settings are automatically reverted post-session.

---

### 🌐 Network Optimization

Applies advanced TCP/IP stack optimizations for better connection stability and reduced latency:

- Enables:

  - **Direct Cache Access (DCA)** – Improves memory throughput for network transfers.

  - **Receive Side Scaling (RSS)** – Distributes network load across CPU cores.

  - **CTCP Congestion Control Provider** – Enhances TCP performance in high-latency environments.

> 🔁 All network changes are fully reverted during system restoration.

---

### 🪟 Windows Tweaks

- Disables **GameDVR** to prevent background recording overhead.

- Disables **Fullscreen Optimizations** to reduce input lag and improve game responsiveness.

- Registry modified:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore

---

## 📊 Real-Time Monitoring Features

Track key performance indicators in real-time for better situational awareness:

- **CPU usage**

- **RAM usage**

- **GPU usage / temperature** (if supported)

- **Network latency**

### 🎯 Game Process Tracking

- Monitors active game executables based on a defined whitelist.

- Applies optimizations only while games are running.

- Automatically restores system to original state once all games exit.

- Operates silently in the background without user interference.

## 🛡️ Safety & Fail-Safes

Soda Optimizer prioritizes system stability with robust recovery mechanisms:

- Creates a **full system state backup** before applying any optimization.

- Automatically restores all settings and processes when:

  - A game or monitored process exits.

  - The user manually triggers a restore.

  - The script encounters an error or unexpected crash.

> ⚠️ You’re always just one step away from full restoration.

---

## 🧰 Requirements

To run Soda Optimizer smoothly, make sure your environment meets the following:

- **Operating System:** Windows 10 or Windows 11

- **Privileges:** Administrator access (required for system-level changes)

- **Python Version:** Python 3.9 or higher

- **Python Dependencies:**

psutil tkinter pywin32

- **Additional Tools:**

- `EmptyStandbyList.exe` (must be available in system PATH for memory clearing)
