Yo, Choombas!

This started as a simple personal tool I used to keep my PC in check. But since I decided to dedicate myself more to Cyberpunk 2077 lately, I decided to give it a "new outfit" and share it. As simple as the functionality may be, I thought it could be useful for someone else in the same boat.

I'll just be real with you: the design of this tool took way more work than the code itself. I really love UI design, so I confess I sometimes get carried away and go a bit overboard with the visuals, making it flashier than necessary just because I can. 😎

What does this actually do?

Basically, it automates and groups together those annoying tweaks we keep hunting for in obscure forums:

[]⚙️ CONFIGURE ONCE: Fast Optimization (Executable): NEW! One-click flow that lets you pick an executable and automatically applies CPU Priority + I/O Priority + CFG Exclusion + DEP Exclusion + Defender Process Exclusion in sequence. Great for initial setup on a new game/modded executable.[/]

[]⚙️ CONFIGURE ONCE: Process Priority (IFEO): Set persistent CPU and I/O priorities for your games via Windows Registry. Tells Windows: "If Cyberpunk asks for data, stop whatever Chrome is doing and serve the game first." Set it up once per game and you're done - no need to touch it again.[/]

[]⚙️ CONFIGURE ONCE: CFG Exclusions (Control Flow Guard): Windows security feature that monitors "indirect jumps" in memory. Mods often work by injecting code and hooking the original game flow - Windows confuses this with hacker attacks and crashes the game (0xC0000005). Disabling CFG for trusted game executables prevents these false-positive crashes. Essential for heavily modded games! Configure once per game and never worry about it again.[/]

[]⚙️ CONFIGURE ONCE: DEP Exclusions (Data Execution Prevention): NEW! Creates per-executable DEP exceptions for trusted games/apps that rely on custom memory behavior. Helps prevent compatibility crashes on specific executables. Configure once per game/app.[/]

[]⚙️ CONFIGURE ONCE: Microsoft Defender Exclusions: NEW! Manage Process and Folder exclusions for trusted games/mod directories to reduce false positives, quarantine issues, and loading stutter caused by real-time scanning.[/]

[*]🔧 SPORADIC USE: Shader Cache Management: Clear compiled shader cache from NVIDIA, AMD, and Windows DirectX. Only use this when: you update GPU drivers, install new game patches/mods, or encounter visual glitches/crashes. Old cache can cau
