Awesome Apps and Utilities for Windows 10 - COMMUNITY CHOICE - 2021

[@mattmisanthropy.]

You forgot the links to these programs! We're too lazy to type them in ourselves!

[@eskci0]

6:12 You can set affinity with the task manager... You've mouse over it a few times xD

[@RMSLtnick]

aye - cant do it from the process tab though but you can always select your process, then press right mouse button, go to details - and then you can edit affinity and prio

[@felixcosty]

With Process Lasso when you make changes they stay. In windows you have to set them every time. PL is great if you want a game that is old and single core then you can set the game to use the fastest core lots more. You want a program to never have internet access you can cut that program off . No more windows phone home, or any other program for that matter. It does more then this you can see what program is using the internet.

tekking! btw, when using Plex to find subtitles, does it also download subs onto your sdd/hd? thats something bs player does and i find it very handy

Open Shell Menu - A continuation of Classic Start Menu project to get back a windows Xp/Vista/7 start menu. Highly customizable. Cmder - A Customized/Edited version of ConEmu with many tweaks. It's a bit overwhelming to explain (and use at first). Think of it like a tabbed console window that can access every installed console on your system. Cmd, Powershell, Choclaty, bash, git, etc. And you can set up different environment variables. You can even have a shell with multiple launch options for different environments. Oh, and everything can have it's own different color, font, sizing, transparency, etc options so you can tell them apart at a glance. It can also be made portable. (I told you it was overwhelming to explain. I barely scratched it.)

Where do you get those wallpapers :3.

[@AlejandroVillena0108]

Literally have had the Activate Windows watermark for years. That ends now.

[@itsdeonlol]

Where do you find your awesome wallpapers?

[@a.p.980]

Check out wallhaven. I've seen Level 1 Tech's use it.

[@itsdeonlol]

@@a.p.980 Thanks!

[@upside_down_01]

If you like Chocolatey, try Scoop. I find that the programs are much more frequently updated and the repositories are centralized to a couple of trusted repositories. You don't need to run someone else's sketch script and trust that it's safe.

[@saik0pod]

Some of my suggestions. PatchMyPC, WinaeroTweak, QuickCPU over process lasso since it has total power control, Sysinternals from Microsoft, Veracrypt, Tinywall Firewall, K-Lite Codec Pack MPC with MadVR, GlaryUtilities, WindirStat, Classic Shell, IrfanView, FreeDownloadManager. Everything else recommended can be instantly installed by PatchMyPC

[@cee128d]

I would avoid Classic Shell these days. It's outdated and no longer supported by the developer. It was forked to OpenShell from the original ClassicShell files. It is actively supported and is a much better option because of that. And it's still free.

[@shaolindreams]

Some nice recommendations there... funnily I thought you added "Everything" at the end there but you was saying something else .. but yeah Everything is a great search tool too :)

[@SporeTuberTV]

Damn it Logan! We need more videos please.

[@oriole8789]

All 3 of my windows computers are running on keys from bobkeys thanks to you! I just wanted to add an app called "Everything" from VoidTools to the list of ultra useful utilities. It's a stupidly fast (realtime) file search app which you can use instead of the awful windows search. I learned about it from Bobby Prince, the composer of the original Doom music (who may die this year due complications from cancer unfortunately). Me and many of my nerdy friends have started using it as a replacement for windows explorer in most cases. It also supports Regex if you want to be really particular. Since you can sort your files by "date modified", and since it shows *all* computer files by default, it's easy to find files that have been changed. Example - you're using some obscure program and you reconfigure it. Where does the configuration data get saved? This app makes it easy to find out since it's displaying the most recently modified files first. I use it for finding text files, folders, media, grouping and moving large file sets (since you can drag and drop from the app) etc etc. I have a keyboard shortcut for it and it has honestly changed my life lol.

[@oriole8789]

lol.. and I just saw that "Everything" was included in the previous vid haha. Goooood. Still, maybe this will help someone else. ;)

[@ivo215]

I'm still using WinAmp 2.95, because I've always been perfectly happy with it. Greenshot. Inkscape. Total Commander, Notepad++, you know, the usual.

[@LieutenantBonk]

I'm curious if WinAmp still "kicks the llama's ass"? No clue what that meant but it's stuck in my head 20 years later.

Loved this not edited style! I'll definitely give some of them a try! I also use Plex for media, but recently I don't use it as a player (the app ones) as I have performance issues with them.

[@Avengement]

The best program to install is not windows in the first place.

[@neccros007]

Love Foobar2000 for music and Ninite for 1 click installs for new machines

[@22stunt45]

Love these videos.

[@Marc_Wolfe]

No mention of Cantibile? I'm kind of surprised.

[@AgentLokVokun]

YOU INSTALLED CHOCO WITHOUT THE GUI?? Use this command choco install chocolateygui

[@sithius92]

I like MPV as a media player.

[@CFord256]

This is also my favorite media player. It took a while to decided exactly how I wanted the hotkeys to work, and what plugins I wanted.

[@encapsulatio]

@@CFord256 Can you make a playlist in MPV and add youtube links and those links will display the title and thumbnail of the video without actually having to click every link?

[@LBP2Saperoth]

if you want to have a way to search chocolaty on your desktop you can use wox and the choco plugin.

[@sasquatchcrew]

Why doesn't this guy make an in depth Cyberpunk review, with all the shoutouts and point outs of sci fi references...

[@neccros007]

One thing Teracopy NEEDs is the ability to overwrite files ONLY if name, date and size matches. Tried to ask the devs but no one gets it.... they make it where you can override a file if its different. Makes ZERO sense

[@tiitulitii]

Cloudflare WARP+, ConfigureDefender, Sophia Script and O&O Shutup10 are the most important in my opinion, if you want a system without bloatware. Then, it is also a good idea to make a second Adminstrator Account, login there, and change your own account to a Standard Account , after you have installed and adjusted everything in the Windows the way you like. This way, you don't need to install a virus scanner etc., but just keep a Windows Backup Image of your boot drive, which can be recovered quickly, when something goes wrong. Don't keep other then program files on the boot drive in general, but keep them on an external drive and keep also an identical copy of it. Keep originals of those files you'd like to be always available, on the boot drive, but copy them often onto the external drive. This may enclose Outlook data, for example. Keep important files additionally on the OneDrive. Summary: Keep it simple, and do not waste your time on this and that. ...The only two base programs of interest may be IObit Uninstaller & Advanced System Care. When you save at least the original state System Image and the previous System Image on a quick SSD, then it is a matter of some ten minutes, if you want to go back to either the original or the previous state.

[@Avengement]

Windows 10 by design is bloatware. How many GB's of unneeded garbage and outdated code does it ship with out of the box? The fact that you have to jump through so many hoops just to prevent it from nagging and tracking the majority of what you do is plain ridiculous. Learn what Linux is.

[@Cleanser23]

tabbed SSH Client? Nah: WSL V2 with WSLG (insiders) running in Windows Terminal

[@neccros007]

Winaero Tweaker is great for Win 10 tweaks

[@steveglanville2013]

Look up clover in chocolatey

[@CFord256]

I have looked at clover before, as far I could tell there was a virus placed inside of it by the developers themselves. You should probably never install that. There was an alternative that I don't remember the name of, but it was also thought to have a virus. There is paid software called groupy that does the same thing and has a free trail.

[@thoticcusprime9309]

with free virus?

[@millkalol]

solar putty is good for ssh

[@XCLUBWIN]

Files on the Microsoft Store is much better than Clover

[@bgyavor]

think you may have inadvertently posted a windows key in that ad read there...

Use Winget instead of Chocolatey

[@dinxsy8069]

Am i missing something with firefox these days? Used to use it a lot some time ago but felt the performance suffered. Use Chrome now 🙄

[@BoatMurderedDF]

Brave browser >>> Chrome

[@thoticcusprime9309]

[@Avengement]

What "performance issues"? I guess you prefer having everything you type, click or visit being harvested and added to your tracking profile on google servers instead.

[@Machistmo]

Nope.avi

[@RussellChapman99]

Had to unsubscribe after trying you for a time. You make tedious videos.

[@MarkEWallace]

Great job with the constructive criticism. You could just unsubscribe and walk away. But no.

[@ErraticPT]

Chocolatey, whats the point? To make installing apps more like inferior and confusing Linux methods? Yeah sure, make one click installs multi stage and confusing (to the average user) instead, because everyone wants to remember 30+ obscure command line options and commands instead of double clicking on an installer! And do it all through an untrusted 3rd party app just to add to security worries. Only of use to Linux nutcases, and if so why the hell you running Windows.
