Enable large page

By ChatGPT: "Enable large page improves memory-access performance by reducing TLB misses and page-table overhead, mainly benefiting memory-heavy workloads."

Thanks @peid.jun for telling me that this exists!

1. Windows + R -> secpol.msc
2. In the left tab: "Local Policies" -> "User Rights Assignment"
3. In the right tab: Double click in "Lock pages in memory" -> Add your user here.
4. Log out/restart the computer.

Now it will work for applications that utilize this (SQL, Minecraft, etc.)

Credits to the original author of the script, I just collected it and redistributed it here.

To install it simply download the batch file and run and hope it works. If it doesn't then you're out of luck, try NOT to use a stripped version of Windows (modified ISO).
