10 Features You Should Disable in Windows 11 (2024)

[@InBodWeTrust]

Copilot *can* be turned off in W11 Home ... Settings > Personalisation > Taskbar > Taskbar items > toggle off the Copilot (preview) option 👍

@@dreaper5813 huh? Your comment has absolutely *nothing* to do with the observation I made. Is making a fresh comment of your own too difficult for you thus you need to reply to someone else's comment? 🙄

[@InBodWeTrust]

@@dreaper5813 I repeat my question. Why comment on MY response? Why not someone else's? As I said, my response has NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER to your comment. tl;dr - go do one you 🤡 🙄

[@3_Eve]

but the thing is, its not completely go out from the system, it just hiding inside the system... why nowadays Microsoft even forcing people who doesnt need nor use some of those programs to us?... why?... why Microsoft, why?...

[@aaronletchford]

Thanks brett great video, the right click classic menu, is a great one too

[@niveketihw1897]

Best thing I did (work computer) was install Explorer Patcher. This let me do never combine taskbar items (which our version of W11 still doesn't allow natively), create a toolbar for instant access to all my OneDrive folders in a flyout menu, and reassemble a usable and succinct Start Button menu.

[@extremelydave]

There are some goodies in here!!!! How about a tutorial on multiple desktop usage? I'm sure you could have some good input on that.

[@DarrenSmith501911]

Brett, another great video. didn't know about the news widget; thank you.

[@whyler1]

Btw you don't even need the search bar in the start menu! Just open the start menu and start typing, it automatically starts a search

[@rzoom895]

I had no idea that news could be turned off in widgets board, thanks so much!

[@sapelesteve]

Hands down the best computer know how videos on YT! Thanks Brett! 👍👍

[@Katietoo]

Many thanks for this, you were so easy to follow and have saved this video to my desktop. YAY! 👍👍🙂

[@dvongrad]

Good tips. Now if you can tell me how to put the taskbar at the top (even if I need a reliable third-party app to do it), how to attach QuickLaunch and Favorites to said taskbar without the latter losing changed icons that refuse to update when selected again, not having to confirm opening said Favorites, and have Control Panel come up consistently like previous versions of Windows, that would be great! I'm thinking of a clean reinstall to see if these can fix themselves or just go with the recommendation of avoiding Win 11 altogether and reinstalling Win 10.

[@martharunstheworld]

These are most helpful, thank you!

[@asan1050]

Brett Thanks for posting this video.

[@-Mimi-1]

Thanks. Good information

[@IoannisKotsaridis]

I already disabled all these, except date/time, why you do that ?? I even add to show the seconds. It's very useful !!

[@tomg721]

Thanks for sharing

[@victoriabrister1116]

Thank you for another informative video.

[@grahamrankin4725]

I noticed that New Folder tab in File Explorer dies do anything. What do I need to change to get this feature working (Win 11 Home)

[@rojoroj9777]

Lots of regular features missing of windows 10 in windows 11. Like context menu

[@ycrivia]

Brett in tech should make a top 10 most useful KZbin channel with himself on the number 1

[@bendixtrinity]

the fact that we have to do all these. disgusting OS. if only my new laptop have win10 drivers

[@Zerkiaa]

just because you need to do it yourself doesnt make it disgusting lmao

[@Neraam_S]

you forgot number 11: don't install windows 11

[@osumunbro]

it's actually worth using at this point, especially with a 14th Gen Intel cpu

[@nobodys_fax1244]

Anything else 🎤 🗑️?

[@motoryzen]

​​@@osumunbroLMFAO😂🤣🤣🤣🥰 (FACEPALMS) no....just no Unless you enjoy still dealing with idiotic problems that a company with 40 years of experience building the maintaining an operating system still can't get under control and still controls were supposed to be your computer so. Essentially, you don't own your computer. You're leasing it every time you boot. Any pc into windows and you're connecting an online for any reasonable period of time Those are facts, by the way, throughout multiple decades

[@positronikiss]

Where else is pc gaming smooth? Linux is still years away tho improving....​@@motoryzen

[@motoryzen]

@positronikiss It's moved for me. I'm not sure what mistakes you're making or settings. You're forgetting to disable or enable.... Which I have found from plenty of experience are just as applicable in the same in the windows world,... But maybe by the correct hardware ? Expecting any I g p u to run today's demanding titles at 1080p or higher rez at anything above 30 fps with medium -to- highest settings is asinine. Ya need a good dedicated video card for that. Casual games and older games such as warcraft iii?...sure but not demanding titles like crisis, metro, dark souls...etc

[@S.A.S.H.]

The entire taskbar and Start menu for Windows 11 is CRAP! Explorer Patcher, True Launch Bar and Start11 are the only reasons I put up with Windows 11 on my personal computers.

[@Ou8y2k2]

I disabled Windows 11 by staying on 10, VMing various Linux distros, and using an Android phone.

[@mikedee5462]

You legit missed Windows Defender💀

[@mk83_Daniel_Williams]

Great info, thanks
