Timer Resolution uses the documented <code>NtSetTimerResolution<\/code> API\u2014no drivers,\n       no permanent registry edits\u2014and automatically restores Windows\u2019 default tick when closed.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Does Fortnite already set the timer, or do I still benefit from 0.5 ms?<\/summary>\n    <p>Fortnite requests a 1 ms interval; locking it to 0.5 ms with Timer Resolution can shave a few\n       more milliseconds off input lag\u2014most noticeable on 240 Hz and 360 Hz monitors.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Will Timer&nbsp;Resolution trigger anti-cheat bans?<\/summary>\n    <p>No. It doesn\u2019t inject code or alter game memory. Anti-cheat vendors treat it like any other\n       system-level latency tool (similar to media players that request lower timers).<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Why does Windows default to a 15.6 ms tick in the first place?<\/summary>\n    <p>A coarse tick conserves power: the CPU sleeps longer between interrupts. That\u2019s fine for\n       everyday tasks, but it adds latency for esports, VR, and real-time audio. Timer Resolution\n       overrides the tick only while it\u2019s running.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>How much actual performance gain should I expect?<\/summary>\n    <p>Average FPS won\u2019t skyrocket, but 1 % \/ 0.1 % lows tighten dramatically. Users report up to\n       25\u201330 % smoother frame-time consistency and elimination of micro-stutter in games like\n       CS:GO and Apex Legends.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Does a 0.5 ms tick drain laptop battery or raise CPU load?<\/summary>\n    <p>The CPU wakes more often, but on modern processors that overhead is typically &lt; 0.1 %.\n       Close Timer Resolution when you\u2019re done gaming to revert to the power-saving default.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Should I disable HPET when using Timer&nbsp;Resolution?<\/summary>\n    <p>Disabling HPET (<code>bcdedit \/deletevalue useplatformclock<\/code>) plus a 0.5 ms tick\n       reduces latency on some motherboards\u2014but not all. Test both setups with a frame-time\n       overlay to see which is smoother on your system.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Is the jump from 1 ms to 0.5 ms really noticeable?<\/summary>\n    <p>Going from 15.6 ms to 1 ms is night-and-day. The 1 ms \u2192 0.5 ms step is subtle yet\n       measurable\u2014valuable for high-refresh competitive shooters, less critical for casual play.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Do I need to launch Timer&nbsp;Resolution before every match?<\/summary>\n    <p>Yes. The lower interval is active only while the utility is running. Add a shortcut with\n       the <code>-max -hide<\/code> switch to <code>shell:startup<\/code> for a set-and-forget\n       solution.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>Is there a silent CLI mode for tournament setups?<\/summary>\n    <p>Absolutely.
