WARNING SURROUNDING DEVICE ENCRYPTION: As someone who works in computer repair, I need to express how important it is to also have periodic backups for your data if you enable encryption. With the exception of data-recovery specialists, most computer repair shops CAN NOT access your drives which are encrypted if the system is either dead or if the OS is too corrupt to allow encryption removal from the Windows Recovery tool and If Bitlocker is enabled and you don't have the key, you may as well kiss your data goodbye.

Thanks for the wisdom! -- I'd like to add a tip about the startup list - when you start a new computer for the first time (hopefully without having installed the bloatware) look at the list and write it down so that later on you'll know which startup processes were and were not there originally.

[@bccabernet]

this was really helpful for me. I didn't know half of them. My dad was a computer tech guy who didn't share his knowledge with his kids. When asked, I was told to buy a book (which is a technical 1000+ page book). I found this video while looking for basic maintenance for your computer. I am currently looking into a way to properly back my items up so I can put them into my outlook reminder and trying to find a way to network them all so I can see my files from my pc onto my laptop.

[@bccabernet]

@@playa124us that's just not true. And sorry, but that's still pretty ignorant as a parent. I mean, I'm a capable adult, but for some reason, computer stuff just doesn't click for me. Besides, this video is a tips video on how to maintain your computer. Something every parent should teach their kids if they have that knowledge. Just like parents should teach their children how to cook, how to clean the house, and even do the taxes so that when children leave the house, they have a solid foundation to stand on. And teaching children simple tech stuff will help the parents in the long run. Not every 'child' is a lazy so-and-so. However, my Dad can't tell his screwdriver bit from another. We both bought the same storage cabinet. I put it up within an hour and he did it like 3 times and spent the day putting it together. I just gave him some simple tips on how to put these storage cabinets together for the next time instead of telling him to just "google it".

Just a quick note on your last point sometimes not updating immediately is the smartest thing you can do. Some updates or patches can break another. The other reason to possibly hold off is there might be a undiscovered problem that might require another patch to fix why update to a vulnerable patch when the one you currently has is just fine? Your best bet is to wait a week or two to see if anyone discovered any issues with it and if not then do the update.

[@autisticgirlawareness7420]

I wait until I’m fiorced to update once my computer or phone start going too slow or buggy then I know it’s update time sometimes Apple will purposely force you to update when you don’t want to but you’ll eventually have to do it anyways.

[@TheHouseOfWaffles]

With Windows 7 I actually took the time to look up details on each individual update package before installing it, and then I would allow only one package to install at a time so that I could easily verify which, if any, update screwed things up and roll it back. The unfortunate downside to this was that installing updates 1 at a time instead of say 10 at a time slowed down the "check for updates" process such that it started taking several hours just to determine which updates were available. I figure it must have been slowly analyzing each update log.

[@jrmartinez1354]

Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior . God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤!

Hi ThioJoe. regarding passwords. 8:04 I have a practice of having a text document with my pw's and keeping it on a pen drive especially if the pw's are with a lot of mixed characters. One more thing. Your videos are 👍👍👍👍👍

I remember helping one of my Mom's friends with her laptop, and I showed her that you can drag and drop files on the desktop, to the recycle bin, etc. She had no idea you could do that. :-D

My husband didn't know about cut and paste. He was writing down web addresses and then retyping them in. I discovered this when we first started dating. I showed him how to cut and paste and he said later that's when he knew he wanted to marry me. LOL

For an old-school power user, the ability to remove everything from the start menu was a game changer! As I used the run command for everything, menus and shortcuts are useless to me. when you actually know all the shortcuts and run commands, the mouse really takes a back seat, I actually find it mildly annoying any time I actually have to touch it outside of gaming.

Thanks for this video! Some of these are things that I know I can do somewhere (like managing the startup applications), but I forgot how to do it and am too lazy to do it or I forget to do so. This helped a lot!!

Most important tip: *MAKE BACKUPS* - Follow this tip guys, if you don't!!! It's the first tip you have to follow!

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

I learnt this the hard way...

@@RyanLennoxBradley Same here, bought external drive

[@modderhoop2058]

Oh i never make backups, i never really save anything on the pc, once every so often i just reinstall windows when i get a new ssd anyways and just start from scratch again. Only my important files are in the cloud.

[@locke103]

working on it now, i update my back ups every six months. in the middle of doing that right now, actually. got a bigger external just for my media files.

Every person on Earth belongs to one of these groups: 1) Regularly backing up their data. 2) Haven't lost their data. Yet I moved to the first group about a year ago. Good thing, I accidentally had copy of most of my school an programming files on my flash drive.

Hey Joe, for some issues it would be nice if you focus a bit more on the actual solution in stead of the issue. For example: 1) How or where do I enable/disable Fast Start-up? 3) How do I add common [keyboard] shortcuts to an app or a file? (I know the answer, but would be nice if *you* mentioned it) 5) I would suggest to check the settings of the specific app first. You can also use the Windows Settings, instead of Task Manager.

[@cunerex34]

on the "5th" one i think you meant third, for some reason most people get bugs in the settings like the startup apps tab not showing in settings which happened to me and in task manager it just wouldn't show any apps that i know they are running in startup

Regarding your last point: I was relaxing on a weekend away, but had my laptop with me for an online event. Unfortunately, Windows decided to update the moment I booted it up, offering me no chance to delay that update. Fortunately, I booted in time for the 2.5 hour update procedure to finish, just in time for me to get into the online event, but it would be much more helpful if Windows told us how large an update is and how long it takes to install. I've already had updates fail for lack of space (why didn't the system check if there was sufficient space first?)

[@declan_youtube]

How (at least in my experience) Windows schedules its updates is during inactive times (like 2:00 am), then it will prompt you for an update and after a few unaccepted prompts it will just update. As for why didn't Windows check if there was enough space, There are multiple factors that would make this difficult. The size of the drive Windows is stored in, the other files in that drive. I'm not saying that it'd be impossible, but not really worth it due to the fact not many people would have use to know how large an update is

[@declan_youtube]

I already knew about Fast Startup. I disable it. For my Laptops, I enable Hibernate. I also knew about installation software wanting to install additional software. Instead of customizing the Start Menu, I pinned things to the Taskbar. I agree about checking your Startup Programs. I get annoyed when the OS doesn't behave how I want it to.
