Hmm, many of these do nothing for processing speed, like:

Replace Utilman with CMD
Disable Windows Search
show computer shortcut on the desktop
Show file extensions
Disable lock screen
Enable classic control panel view
Hide indication for compressed NTFS files
Remove Pin to start
Classic vertical icon spacing
Remove versioning tab from properties
Disable jump lists
Change Logon screen background with accent color
Removing Windows default apps

And others would seriously degrade usefulness for a normal workstation:

Disable Windows Search
Disable Windows Defender
Disable OneDrive

So: "I've saved the best for last." should read: "How to disable your workstation".

If you want a really fast machine for a special task like mining, run Windows Server in Console mode. Or Linux.

Emne: [AccessD] Registry tweaks

I ran across this "optimize windows for mining" article.  Not interested in mining per se however of interest to me was a batch file download down at the bottom for automating registry hacks for turning off various things.  Of interest to me was what was being disabled as well as how to perform the adds and deletes.  Pretty cool stuff.  The guy turned the bat into a txt file which chrome just opened and displayed.  You could turn it back into a bat file for execution, commenting out things you don't want done, or for that matter adding other things that you like done.
