These are some common settings I like to change in Windows 11. Drop us a LIKE 👍

I was a chrome user for around 5 years but now i feel edge has become a better browser than chrome.

Thanks Brian for all the hard work you do when making these videos, as a disabled pensioner you have made my PC life so much easier and enjoyable. You are the best thing that has happened on Liverpool.

I am sticking to Edge, I gotta say I love the "sleep tab" thing.

[joaogamboa]

Clear and helpful - thank you!
Just a little tip, pin the "settings" button to taskbar; short-cut to open that window with a click.

Thank you for this. Adjusting the power setting to "balanced" is HUGE for increasing computer performance. Unnecessary overload!

[sweetypie]

Thanks Brian, you did it again. 👍🏼 I just upgraded to Windows 11 and I wanted to secure it enough to feel comfortable using it. Easy to follow.

Thankyou! This solved a huge problem for me after I'd tried so many other things: the problem was my screen fading out after just a minute, despite all Power Plan settings set to NEVER. The solution? See from 9:33 to 9:52: Change additional power settings, Turn off hard disk after (change to zero). Edit - if that still doesn't solve your fading screen issue, change the monitor display settings by turning off automatic screen brightness adjustment. Apologies if this doesn't belong here, I'm just so happy my problem is finally fixed!!!

Big thanks first day with windows 11 you helped me a lot thanks

I love watching these extremely helpful videos you upload about all the rubbish apps/settings etc to turn off or uninstall that Microstiff loads in all of the machines people don't need! 💕 I also love hearing how your voice becomes steadily more frustrated with all of the rubbish apps etc you see as you happily toggle them off 🤣

just upgraded last night am impressed it is so much better than 10 so far.

Just got my first Win 11 laptop. This video helped me navigate around the settings and where MS moved things from W10. Nice job Brian!!

[crashedking]

Wow I just stepped into 11 and now I can have a little more control. Much appreciated.

[Glenrsi]

Very helpful, thank you. Only thing i dislike on Windows 11 is all my files are just plain yellow/beige files. Before all my files had picture of my choice. Is it possible to get that again.

[Mangomesh]

Great stuff. If I ever upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows10, this is the best video for the job.

🏆🖥🙏 I thought actor Michael Caine was doing the audio. 😉 That's a compliment. Moving on, thanks for taking time to make a clear, concise, easy-to-understand tutorial for Windows 11 settings change recommendations. Big tech does too much harvesting of personal data and intrusion into privacy, so everyone would be wise to toggle off quite a few of the default settings. I use an Apple iMac 95% of the time, but occasionally use Windows to sync with my Android phone for music and such. Your teaching method is commendable and I really appreciated that you had no annoying rap/heavy metal/house “music” blasting away in the background— a sign of a true amateur YouTube creator. Well done, sir!

7:49 there is a mistake, you need to go to Privacy and Security, please correct that, thank you very much for your nice videos

[benji-menji]

I'm not as worried about my privacy then most but letting me know what's being tracked is important so if there is something I don't want in particular, then I can switch it off.

[alphabanks]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together this was very informative.

Just installing win 11 at the moment while waiting was on y/tube and come across your video. All I can say is this is going to be so helpful when ready to start ( 63% haha). So cheers and you have another subscriber.
