Ultimate MSFS2020 Performance Tweaker Script (For GPU-Limited PCs)
If you’re struggling with low FPS in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, 2024 and your GPU is the bottleneck, this script is for you. It tweaks several Windows settings to squeeze out better performance before you launch the sim — and then puts everything back to normal when you close it.
THIS STILL WORKS WITH MAINTHREAD LIMITED PCs JUST NOT AS MUCH OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN FPS AS WITH GPU LIMITED PC
What it does:
Disables Xbox Game Mode and Game Bar overlays
Turns off Fullscreen Optimizations for better frame stability
Sets your power plan to High Performance
Stops background services like Superfetch (SysMain) and Windows Search to free up resources
Disables Windows transparency and visual effects for a snappier UI
Pauses OneDrive syncing and Windows Update during gameplay
Stops unnecessary scheduled tasks and error reporting
Sets MSFS process priority to High and CPU affinity to all cores dynamically
Optimizes paging file settings for stability
And much more — over 20 tweaks in total!
You just UPDATE THE SCRIPT WITH YOUR MSFS PATH, run it, and let it handle the rest. It’s a simple but powerful way to boost your FPS without messing with your system permanently.
Expected FPS boost: Around 10-20%, depending on your system and current setup.
Give it a try if you want a smoother experience without diving into complicated manual tweaks!
INSTALLATION:
1. Place The msfsfps.ps1 Anywhere You Like
2. Open The File With Notepad Or Any Text Editor You Prefer
3. CHANGE THE MSFS PATH Where It Says:
# === CONFIGURE YOUR MSFS PATH HERE ===
$msfsPath = "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content\FlightSimulator.exe"
4. Save The Script And Run It With Powershell As An ADMINISTRATOR!!!
(5.) The Installation Proccess For The Additional FIle Is In The Download!!!

2) Does it launch automatically and if it does, how do we know?
Thanks!

The DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) is a graphics-related error that typically indicates the GPU became unresponsive during a high-demand task. This is not caused directly by the script, but the script might expose existing system instabilities by maximizing system performance (like forcing High Performance mode or disabling background GPU optimizations).
Here are some things you can try:
Update your GPU drivers to the latest stable version (avoid beta versions).
Lower your MSFS graphics settings, especially if you're GPU-limited.
Remove or reduce overclocks (GPU/VRAM), even factory OCs.
Revert to a balanced power plan if needed, and test stability.
If using NVIDIA, try setting your GPU to "Prefer maximum performance" in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
You can also revert all changes made by the script using a backup restore or manually reset registry settings.
Let me know if the issue persists after trying these steps,

That error message —
“Please make sure your hardware is supported by this application. Please refer to ReadMe.file. (OneCorePlatformService_Z)” —
isn't caused by the script itself, but rather by a missing or broken system component used by Microsoft Flight Simulator, like Gaming Services or Xbox platform files.
