Efficiency: Streamlines tasks by setting default behaviors, and reducing repetitive adjustments.
Comfort: Enables users to adjust visual aesthetics, such as themes or layouts, for a more comfortable viewing experience.
Hardware Optimization: This lets users align software settings with their system's capabilities for optimal performance.
Consistency: Ensures a uniform working environment across sessions, boosting productivity and reducing setup time.
