Taskbar features : show badges on taskbar buttons

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

Thanks for yet another Jem of useful info mate. For me the step recorder is one I didn't know about but so very glad I now do...so thanks for that. I've had to create a folder named Windows tips to save all of your videos to:) ..So many Jems:). Keep up the Good work my freind.👍

[@lisaghost]

useful tips as always brian, i use System Explorer V7.0.0.5356 as my default task manager, been using it for a good 10 yrs now as its really handy with more features than your normal windows one, check it out sometime and let me know how you feel about it :)

[@GabberHeadzNL]

ShutDownSlide is neat one, please be kind and let me know how can i get separate colours on taskbar and window borders ,for example i would like taskbar to be blue and window borders and tiles orange because know if i uncheck the taskbar to change just window colour it goes black to default black and vice versa for window borders? Thank you very much for your kind help

This channel is really underrated The amount of useful information and tutorials here is massive yet the amount of subs are quite low for such a great content Keep up the good work man 👍👍

[@DanzzyTechWorld]

I wish I had known this a long time ago. These features are really hidden and am grateful for revealing it to us I have gotten inspiration to create my own channel thanks to Britec09 to show the world some of the cool staffs i also know on the pc. Please do to check it out. Great job.

[@pingon55555]

With regards to the command line you can use the new terminal by downloading an app called Windows Terminal (Preview ) from the microsoft store.

15:28 - Really? My guess is that people complain that the tutorials are too long are just looking for quick fixes without an understanding. I prefer lengthy! 👌😀👍

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

As if anyone FORCED them to watch it, and prevented them from pausing, fast-forwarding, etc. I've always been against apologising for this. It's your channel, you set the rules, it's FREE content providing value and these morons feel entitled. The only one who could complain about 'taking it too long' are their mothers... imagine waiting for 9 months and then these iditios pop up ;)

[@sludgefactory241]

Know I'm commenting on an old video here, but I would love to see a video detailing how to on eGPUs. Just basically everything a noob like myself needs to know about them and how to set one up. Thanks for the informative video as always britech09

[@NinjaPrimeProductions]

God mode is a handy utility to have as it allows me to get to the diagnostic tools quickly , like you said this has been available for a long time. Thanks for reminding me about that step recorder, as I had forgotten about that as its been a while since I used it, we tend to remote to peoples PC. Just a suggestion, it would be a good idea to put time stamps in the description so viewers can jump to the section they want to see again. Great video, very informative. I appreciate videos that you can learn something from, rather than some videos you get on KZbin.

[@uni-tradesupportserviceslt2166]

After all the years developing Windows, you would have thought that adding seconds to the clock would have been a simple task of opening the time/date settings and having a tick box for that option rather than this very convoluted procedure involving the Registry Editor... that was the case on the Amiga 500+ some 30 years ago... 👍👍👍

[@williamlinington9166]

Knew about all these, except for the shift-right click for PowerShell. I do have poor eyesight and have customized power shell and the command prompt. Great video. Thanks Brian. Cheers

[@Britec09]

Thanks for watching

The slide to shut down though ...been a long time since ive seen one worthwhile that i dont have. Thanks dude

When in regedit: Use arrowkeys to go back/up a folder. When selected and pressing opens a folder.

[@Ograws]

I love seconds on clock for any operating system! Pity Windows makes it tedious to enable

[@CesareVesdani]

The next build of Windows 10 - 20H1 comes out on May 28th 2020. This is official. When it comes out, please make a video showing all of the new features of the 20H1 build. Please don't forget to mention about the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box feature that was available in Windows 7 for customization of colors and fonts when creating themes. Also show hidden features in that build as well. I want to learn and know everything about the official public release of 20H1 when it becomes available as a general available on May 28th 2020.

[@hamrad88]

Talking about strange. I got a used computer that had Windows 10 on it and it seemed to work except it would not run some of the basic commands such as Command Prompt as admin, and Task manger. I installed a fresh version of Win10 and still it would not run those basic things. It would run File Manager and IE fine. Very weird. Any ideas. This is a HP Elitebook with i5. Thanks

[@tajsay]

Thanks, Brian i really love the way you explain in details

[@ryancarper595]

Maybe you could do a video on the gear you use to record your videos. The sound from your mic is pretty damn amazing.

[@elviraeloramilosic9813]

Thank you for another great video. I use almost all of them, except adding seconds to the clock. And task manager is always on top of other apps. Same goes for ProcessHacker app. Also, very useful, the PowerToys app and Everything app, fast file/folder explorer.

[@sphinx3r]

I don't know if I can trust advice from someone who doesn't know that you don't have to click apply before clicking ok and never have.

[@jeffbangle4710]

Actually, many parts of Windows used to require the "Apply" button. There was a bit of a civil war inside Microsoft on UI features like that. Some areas required it to save your selections, others didn't. Anyone who was working with Windows back then developed a habit of always clicking the "Apply" button, since it was too hard to memorize which features needed it and which didn't.

[@sphinx3r]

@@jeffbangle4710 nonsense. I've been using Windows since 3.11 and that's a load of bollocks

[@jeffbangle4710]

@@sphinx3r Only since 3.11? So you missed the early days, when the Windows UI conventions were still being defined. You probably also missed out on the debate whether user applications like word processors should have their features be "noun-verb" or "verb-noun".
