Are 8.3's disabled, by default, in Win10? (I have no idea.) If it were so important, don't you think MS would have done this by default?
Disabling 8.3's has been an option, since about forever, it seems. It's probably on that tweakers website (name long forgotten, & pretty much immaterial, as most all of the "tweaks" were eventually picked up, implemented, by MS with XP's SP 2 & then 3).
Have you ever noticed or do you now notice "performance" improvements with / without 8.3 enabled? Have you ever noticed or do you now notice "performance" differences between a 5400 & 7200 HDD, or a HDD & a SSD? (I've never used a SSD, so maybe there is some difference in program loading.)
Optimization. Of what? When you do a search for a file name, Windows | Find, is now speedier, or is it the same dog (literally & figuratively - fido, does display on my XP when I Winkey+F) as its always been?
So I google, "Supporting legacy MS-DOS file-naming conventions will reduce performance of an NTFS volume. Unless absolutely necessary, 8.3 filename creation should be disabled." & the first hit says:

(Dated, & not really anything of substance there. Anyhow...)
I look at it like, if there is an issue that I'm seeing, & if disabling 8.3 fixes that issue, then I'll look into it. Otherwise...
Performance. Remove your antivirus & tell me if you see a performance difference - before & after. Performance. Remove Windows "eye candy" & tell me if you see a performance difference - before & after. Performance. I was at a Win10 computer & it had all kinds of trash running in the background (& I'm sure 99% of Win10 computers do likewise). Try disabling that crap & tell me if you see a performance difference - before & after. -------------------------------------- BANK OF AMERICA.COM ONLINE BANKING SUCKS IN THE HUGEST WAY IMAGINABLE
