#### Why is the displayed RAM capacity different than the actual capacity?

This is how WMI (the tool used by the app to get these kind of information) reports the RAM capacity. Something on your OS is corrupted, might actually be the WMI repository itself. You can try to [rebuild it](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-team/wmi-rebuilding-the-wmi-repository/ba-p/373846) or reinstall your OS as a last, unpleasant solution.

#### Why does the text look weird and pixelated in certain apps after tweaking performance settings?

The setting found under _Performance > Visual > Adjust visual effects for best performance_ will make fonts look more pixelated as a side effect. This effect is caused by _Smooth edges of screen fonts_ option, which for best performance needs to be turned off.

#### Why are settings not applied when using the app with another logged user?

The app requires administrator rights, so the user opening the app must be an administrator as well, otherwise, despite you being logged in with another user, the app will still open with the administrator user, all settings being applied to that one.
To make a user an administrator you can use `net localgroup` command or `lusrmgr.msc` tool.
