Thank you for helping me put Cortana in federal lock up. And it also seems some of the settings resetted back to being on after this last larger update with the new Edge browser(which I don't use)as I went step by step ith you in the options. All the useless apps were back on and I think after I shut them down again my gaming will be much better. Thank you so much Britec09:)

[@TheCategor]

You suggest to disable all these features, but you don't explain the reason why. I mean, did you check the performance of Windows startup/normal use before and after disabling these? Or you just don't like these features? Or why? Why should anyone disable these? What's the upside/downside and what's the benefits?

[@justinjonbaugh]

Wish you would explain some of these further. You spent time explaining Media player and then just removed other system components without explaining why or what they do.

I’ve just updated my 10 year old HP laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 after watching your video instruction on how to do so. It went remarkably smooth. So the next thing I did was follow along this video with my tablet in one hand and make the changes on my laptop following your advice. I did everything you suggested from the beginning of this video all the way up to where you were showing us how to change the performance options. You suggested that we tick the box to adjust for best performance. I did that exactly as you suggested and then I stopped the video right there because I did not feel comfortable going further and doing things in the registry. So I rebooted my old laptop. All I can say is WOW!!! It started up way quicker! 😃 Am I ever happy that I followed your advice! It used to take forever for my laptop to boot up and to shut down. But not anymore! The way it responds now you might think that I’ve installed a SSD in there! LOL!! So thank you kind sir you have made my day and help me breathe a little new life into my old laptop.

This was nicely presented. I've not experienced any slow down myself - I just don't like corporations looking over my shoulder the whole time. I didn't do all the steps, just knowing I can safely turn off all those switches in the settings was enough to put my mind at ease. You know what us normies are like - we don't want to fiddle with things we don't understand - because if we change something and can't work out how to put it back, we can get into a right pickle. But this is a nice, simple, step-by-step guide so it gets a big ol' thumbs up from me.

@@heinzerbrew Maybe that is your interpretation of 'now'. The issue is not doing everything at once, this can still all be done now mate, just not all at one shot and go. Spend several hours or half day doing one or couple things, reboot, check how things are going. Do a couple more, rinse and repeat. That is all still now in my book, maybe not yours, but that again is your issue, perception and interpretation. The same with the take things slowly. Again that is up to you, maybe you don't have several hours to do this, so then take your time in however long you need, or it could simply mean do only one or couple things at time as in my example above by doing it all now ... just not all in one shot so that IF something messes up you do not know which of all those things you did was the cause.

@@kevinfisher1345 The title says "NEED" and "RIGHT NOW" the video says only if you don't need it and whenever you get to it. It's click bait BS.

@@Drew1903SG Totally agree on Reg cleaners and the like, but this isn't the 80's. Many non-IT people under 50 know their way around a computer these days.

Not to mention faster than having to figure it out from scratch, I'm done with that, I don't have time for it anymore. And if someone messes up there OS, so what!

I've just watched your video and I'm confused. I see what you've done and can possibly reproduce some of it (i'm on W10 Home) but am not sure WHY I should make some of the changes as the Computer I'm running on is not SuperWhizzey but runs fine. I don't want to turn something off that may cause me a problem months or years in the future and I've turned something off that I can't remember. Perhaps you should have a series of smaller videos that address certain aspects and explain the whys and wherefores in them. Sorry for being negative and I appreciate the recommendation of the O&O program so I guess I have picked up something from the Video. Tell you what I would appreciate is a way to uninstall all the crappy games that are on a small computer I have that only has 32 Gig of onboard storage and cannot update because of the lack of onboard room (the Disney one seems to take the most disc space!).

Try Revo Uninstaller. I've always used the free version until recently that found it cheap in Humble Bundle. Does a great job.

[@Autobot032]

If you want to uninstall the games, you can right click on them in the start menu and in the menu that appears you can click on uninstall. If that doesn't work Windows key + S and search for control panel. Find programs and features, wait for it to load and find the games you want removed and uninstall them. Also, I have a 32gb PC and you need a USB flash drive or micro SD card to use as a cache for the downloads of the updates that'll install. Any recently made PC (2013, onward) will have a card reader slot on the 32gb systems. It's there because they know you'll need to expand storage.

ALL in one printers could only print, no scanning, or faxing, video cards could only do the minimum of displaying the screen. Often, Things that were done automatically in windows took five minutes for me to manually do in linux. Updating stuff could easily become a nightmare., because the software on linux often didn't come with self installers.

[@vermiman]

@Stimpy&Ren Updates and viruses are two of the things that keep me from wind-blows. On Linux I update when and what I want. Keeping Home on a different partition allows me to keep all of my data even if I re-install or change a Linux Distribution.

This was a great video thank you for your time... I always watch your videos they have helped me out a lot 💯👌🏾

You are so welcome

[@loveshork77]

Thank you so much, i was going crazy with this piece of crap, i was so shocked how slow it is after my optimized 8.1. At first i couldn't even change settings, it was just reseting as soon as i closed any of them after changes. Oh my god it will take me a lot of time just to make this thing work, jeez... Huge thank you again mate you're doing gods work

I would be interested in the lock down video. I have a couple computers that only live stream. They don't browse but like once a year I may need to. They don't get email, they don't watch videos. All they do is stream out 24/7/365 and I would like to lock them down as tight as possible so I can get in there and do the mandatory Win 10 updates (which I wish I could shut off too)!

I loved Win 7 too. However, Win10 is much more secure. It comes at a cost for sure, though.

How to disable the pop-up "This App Can't Run On Your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". All apps are current, updated and compatible. Tried so many different tutorials from you tube and google searches and none seem to disable this pop-up I'm getting from my PC (Windows 10...all updated and clean. Used gpedit to disable but still getting the pop-up). Thank you.

Thank you, Brian! I’ve just discovered your channel and your videos are top quality! I’ve been a long time Windows user as many other people and Windows 10 doesn’t quite appeal to me as much as 7 did but with these changes it is a lot more enjoyable now! Thank you!

All very interesting but you don't spend enough time explaining why you disable certain items or the consequences of disabling them. Ok for experienced users but not novices like myself.

[@Britec09]

I understand David. If i spent that amount of time explaining every tweak, the video would be way to long. But I try and cover a little info.

MS really dropped the ball when they "designed" Windows 10. Imagine having to spend an hour disabling, uninstalling and replacing default stuff, just to make the system safe and usable. ...Only to lose all your work every time a new update is pushed out.

Brian - I am one of your Tech Fans, I've been using your videos to learn things. I've been having to waste a LOT of my Work time fixing what MS Updates screws up and changes. I LOSE SO MUCH TIME fixing what MS Updates screws up. I have been turning Updates Off, but I can only do it for a month at a time, and then I have to deal with it again. I run a Windows 10 Home version and wanted to find a way to SEE what was going to be downloaded and installed BEFORE it's done, which is the way it used to be. Now I see the Windows Install spinner and I am in FEAR of what it's doing, and if I'm going to be able to get any work done for the rest of that day!! MS UPDATES have been a nightmare and has crashed my laptop to the point where it is COMPLETELY unbootable. I watched another one of your videos to get files off using NotePad, but my laptop is still DEAD, unbootable and unuseable, I really need to have 2 computers working, and I don't have time to learn Linux or lose ALL my files on the laptop. I left you a comment today on that other video, I still need some help. As for this video, I spent Hours researching and found Group Policy Editor to turn off Updates, actually printed the instructions, but when I went to implement, the commands did not work. Obviously the site I got the instructions from did NOT SPECIFY that GPE ONLY Works on Windows Professional NOT Windows Home. So I'm back to square 1, FEARING MS UPDATES!! Can you PLEASE SHOW US WINDOWS 10 HOME users HOW TO Disable Windows 10 Feature updates!? I have uninstalled them only to have MS REINSTALL THEM the NEXT Day!! It's a nightmare! I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

You wouldn’t need to do or be concerned about all these if they didn’t DISABLE windows 7.

What you do is disable windows 10. Use Linux and then you regain ownership of the OS, the PC, and control of your personal data that hasn’t already been mines. Windows is SPYWARE, that is MASQUERADING as an OS. If more people would use Linux, software vendors would have to write cross platform applications if they wanted to remain relevant.
