New Windows Tips I've Found

These are new tips that I've found working as a tech. I'm doing my tips videos differently from now on. Rather then recycling tips that many other youtubers cover, I'm going to start building lists of tips that are all new to me that I find relevant to include in a video.

The CTRL key press in windows task manager is awesome.

Rich, I love your Tips videos! Even if there is _only one_ that I don't know, I add it to my 'armoury'. Don't stop! Here's one I use a lot after coming across it by chance, which I have never seen mentioned in Tips vids. When using Word, Outlook etc and you wish to highlight (yellow) any portion, select the text and then use CTR + Alt + H and ba-boom. Job done.

Best channel I've visited in a while, your videos are clear, simple and straight to the point!

Ima say that the "hold control to pause task refresh" is going to change my complete internal stress dialogue forever breh. How I never, EVER SAW THAT MENTIONED BY ANYONE BEFORE NOW? GG man.

Thanks for another great tips video. As 'ancogaming' said below, 'I love these tips videos, but actually only from you.' I second, third and fourth that motion! But hey, don't worry about recycling tips - most of us probably haven't seen the originals, but even if we had, a retelling is always helpful. Or we can just skip it and go to the next, no BFD. Also. I like the way you present the tips. There's no 'click on the symbol' or 'you'll know what to do with this' stuff - you do the 'two-sense' thing brilliantly. Like you 'show and tell' so there's no confusion. Re tips videos, for me, you can make as many as you like (really!) and I'll always watch and listen. Keep it up, lots of us mightn't comment but we're here to learn and we love how you teach🙂

You could make a bunch of shorts for each tip.
And then a longer video for all of them together, and link the longer video in each of your shorts.
I really love your channel❤ Just recently found it. You are one of my favorites.

Loved the tip about safely removing the USB drive. Great tip. Thank you, as I'm always swapping thumb drives in & out.

Thank you for these and happy new year. Can't have enough Windows tips videos these, considering how much room for improvement especially Windows 11 has. Sure there's gonna be some overlapping and redundant ones, but as long as there's some new ones, or even just some updates or optimization for previous tips, it's worth watching. Working in tech, including working on other people's PC's, you never know when such a tip might come in handy to fix an issue or a simple personal user grievance.
By now I actually curate and organize tips and tweaks in my own digital notebook for swift and central access.
Personally, I like tips videos that are timestamped or chaptered for a really fast glimpse of the contents to click through, but I understand you ideally want people to watch the whole video, and that's perfectly fine.

I like the windows tip videos and disabling the window search and USB caching were my favorite.

[arthurschwieger]

I do like the tips videos. I have been working with Windows since... well, all of them from 2.5. You never know when you are going to learn a new thing that you can use.

[paulbrew]

Love your videos, man. I usually watch at work where I can't comment, but I'm home for the New Year holiday. Great work, as always. Oh, hey. Here's one for ya: How can we stop our VPNs from screwing with our WIFIs? Happy New Year from Osaka! Have a great 2024!

[adityasinghi]

That Task Scheduler Tip was actually very useful, thanks for the information.

[joep]

Keep it up. I knew most of your tips but every now and then I cstch a new one. New format is good.

[raymondgradzewicz]

13:32 pro tip, the windows key + E opens file explorer no matter where in the taskbar it is.

[Palosrob]

I'm enjoying the channel very much. Paul Thurrott from Windows Weekly has said on many times that you've been able to just pull out a USB without ejecting it ever since windows 7.

[sleazydzx]

The search tip using reg edit and the task bar shortcuts were great. Thank you!!

[martinbecklen]

Thanks for a terrific video. Learned a lot. I especially enjoyed learning about the last tip about restricting caching USB drives. Looking forward to seeing you more often. BTW, I didn't know about ANY of the tips before seeing this video. Hope the new year brings you much success and satisfaction.

Thank you for your GREAT tips! I am hooked on your videos. I also did not know about what used to be called "hot removal" which I warn all my friends to please use safely remove, of course they don't, and scramble the OS or drive, which, sigh, I get to fix up for them and hand them a tissue when I tell them the bad news. I am quickly becoming a "please set up my new windows 11 laptop" guy. Thanks again, keep 'em coming!!!

[RANGUIDRY]

My favorite tip is the shortcup using the Windows key and the position number of the apps in the task bar. But they are all good tips. Thanks for what you do Rich.
