Also Gamers dont get caught mid game and have to disable sticky keys. It's in settings > ease of access > keyboard

I set up a few new computers every week at work. (I work for a small IT company.)

- The first thing I always do is disable Windows animations. It baffles me that nobody else ever seems to do this. (Start>"animations">Show animations in Windows*)
- Then enable single-click mode so I'm not double-clicking a thousand times for absolutely no reason. (Start>"single">Specify single- or double-click to open)
- Hide Cortana and the other useless Taskbar icons
- Disable Cortana notifications
- Install any necessary drivers
- Update Windows
- Uninstall all the bloatware, such as the pointless games that clog up the Start Menu
- Then I launch Chrome Installer (Microsoft calls it "Edge") and, like the presenter here, use Ninite to get Chrome and a few others and then set Chrome as the default browser
- If it's a notebook computer, I fix the featurebug that puts the computer to sleep when the lid is closed (Start>"lid">Change what closing the lid does)
- If it's a computer I plan to use, I always install CoreTemp and display the CPU temp in the Taskbar, but I'm a bit obsessive.
- Create a restore point once setup is complete
- There are other things, but nobody will read this anyway, so I'll stop here.

*Sometimes Windows won't suggest that when I type "animations". Sometimes it will suggest partway through the word. Sometimes, backspacing one letter at a time will get it to suggest.

I never comment on Youtube videos, but I am so happy to see something like this come out of here. I missed this kind of stuff. Really great info.

"You're probably watching this video is because you just reinstalled windows"

ME: Nope, I'm just lazy and I'm doing this 7 month later after install.

For a second I thought I was on the YouTube main page and it recommended me one of your old videos again :D

You really should NOT instructs ANYONE to use uTorrent 2.2.1 there are major unpatched security vulnerabilities. Basically allows injection into downloaded files.

Here's a neat one I use after a clean install. Admin CMD, type "powercfg -h off" without the quotes. This disables hibernation and can free up a few GB'a of space and in some cases 20GB

5:37 here you are wrong... Be careful! Using older versions of torrent can lead to leak some stuff and also let hackers in. I would advice you to use qBittorent or any other open-source torrent client because they have 0 ads. Cheers!

Hi,

How do you get the Start menu to look like that? I unpinned/uninstalled the tiles or apps that were there but it still leaves a giant empty space even after dragging it to the left.

Every time I reinstall, I always look up this vid for tips or to check if I haven't missed anything. Thanks!

When you first install window, what to do. Disable like 50 things Window seems to think you want. Then install everything you actually want.

question, i have an old Toshiba Satellite L750-1L8, I fresh installed windows on it, but its not allowing me to install the Network Controller Drivers. since they all require internet to install.
Even on the Toshiba support site when i browse the drivers it wont install and identify them.

Has anyone run into the problem, and/or has a solution?

[Zachareee]

This PC Shortcut and disk cleanup are new to me, thanks for those!

[tvurk]

I prefer Deluge as a torrent client (no bloat, very basic like utorrent was long ago) or Transmission for Synology is great too

[TheGhostPlanet]

Just came across your video and thank you so much for the tutorial lesson. Much appreciated!!

[adampope]

Used to watch the tek faithfully haven't been on your channel since the last one. I'm happy to see you even though this is a year ago that you guys are still going strong, still use your homemade mayo recipe!

I'm going to recommend a program called WinDirStat. It shows what every folder/application size is and allows you to delete it. Great if you want to find whats taking up the most storage.
