Brett, another great video. I didn't know about the game mode; which I disabled and visual effects. I was aware of the startup apps, updating drivers and apps and scanning for viruses. Do you have any tips for random freezing? Thank you for all you do!

Greetings Brett, useful information as usual. I recently did reset pc primarily because of freezing issues and needing to update drivers. I also discovered there were corrupt files. Thank you for all you do.

Sort of surprised you didn't include the new MS PC Manager app for Win11 with it's Boost and other features. Yeah, it's still considered a download, for now.

The absolute biggest complaint I have is the mouse right click either doesn’t work or double clicks with just on click. Is there away to go back to windows 10?

Note shutdown will not clear the memory if you have fast startup enabled. Most windows PC’s have it enabled so you must hold down shift when shutting down. Restart does clear the memory though.

[SlyerFox]

I thought they changed they way restart and shutdown now functions for purging memory in win 11 ? Edit with fast start up enabled shut down is just a form of hibernation and even if you disable fast start up it re enables with every update 👍

by far the best way to improve the performance of your computer running windows 11 is to save your data to a remote drive, scrub the disks, and install a top tier Linux Distro. No, not a fanboy, been running 'windows' since it was Dos, and before that CPM. Linux has finally evolved to the point that a number of distros are entirely suitable for replacing Win 10, 11 etc. Alternative programs exist to replace pretty much anything you can do on windows, and, if you need to, there are easily implemented ways to run almost every Win program.
Get rid of the data mining, security faults, and incessant Win intrusions into your privacy. Excepting ONLY those users COMPELLED by corporate/governmental authorities to use Win11, 99% of the computing world can easily replace Windows in favor of Linux with a broad smile; and never look back.

Note that shutting down doesn't clear the computer like restarting does because of a feature called Fast Startup that is enabled by default.
It is possible to turn off Fast Startup but keep in mind that every time you turn on your computer after that, it will be slower to start.
