Network Optimizer	TCP registry tweaks (Nagle's algorithm, ACK frequency, auto-tuning) for low-latency gaming
Service Manager	Identifies and safely disables non-essential Windows services during gaming
Game Detection	Auto-detects 30+ popular games (Steam, Epic, Riot, Blizzard, EA) and applies boost automatically
Shader Cache Cleaner	Clears DirectX, NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel shader caches to fix stuttering
Process Manager	View and manage processes with CPU priority and affinity controls

🏗️ Tech Stack

• .NET 8 — Latest runtime, self-contained deployment (no framework install needed)
• WPF — Windows Presentation Foundation with full MVVM architecture
• LibreHardwareMonitor — Accurate CPU/GPU temps, fan speeds, and clock readings
• P/Invoke — Kernel-level calls for RAM cleanup, timer resolution, and privilege elevation
• Custom Dark Theme — Styled scrollbars, buttons, data grids, and window chrome
• Inno Setup — Single-file installer with LZMA2 compression

📦 Installation

Option 1: Installer (Recommended)

1. Download SpdUp_Setup_1.0.0.exe from Releases
2. Run the installer
3. Launch SpdUp from the Start Menu or Desktop

Option 2: Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/immissmandy/SpdUp.git
cd SpdUp
dotnet build SpdUp.csproj -c Release

Build the Installer

# Publish self-contained
.\build-installer.ps1

# Publish + compile Inno Setup installer
.\build-installer.ps1 -Installer

Requires Inno Setup 6 for the -Installer flag.

🧪 Tests

dotnet test SpdUp.Tests

84 unit tests covering:

• Core infrastructure (ObservableObject, RelayCommand, Logger)
• All model classes and computed properties
• WPF value converters (7 converters, 13 tests with Theory data)
• Service layer (Network, GameDetection, Optimization, ServiceManagement)
• ViewModel logic (DebugLogViewModel with STA thread support)

⚙️ How It Works

1. Install & Launch — SpdUp runs with administrator privileges for deep system access
2. Hit Boost — Optimizes CPU, RAM, GPU, network, timer resolution, and disables unnecessary services
3. Game On — Play with maximum performance; click Restore when done to revert all changes

All changes are fully reversible. SpdUp saves previous states and restores them on deactivation.
