The Ultimate Performance tip was super! Been using Windows since ver. 3.11 (1992). I was actually an Alpha tester for ARPANET back in 1969 when I sent an 'e-mail' from my High school here in Vancouver to SFU in nearby Burnaby, BC using a Telex machine hooked to a telephone handset using an acoustic modem. The Internet has come a long way in 52 years.!

Thank you Leila for the tips! Appreciate your zeal and persistence in making regular videos on multiple subjects, which is not so easy! Teaching is noble and humane. Keep it up! 😊👍👏

Thank you Leila for all your awesome tricks. I followed the "Turn on the turbo" on my work laptop. It gave the expected result. Then I followed it on my private laptop. The command prompt result looked as expected, but for some weird reason, I still only see the Balanced plan in Power Options. Weird that I can do it on my work laptop (a Dell), but not on my private laptop (a Surface Pro 7)

WoW. That's amazing. Thanks for the share.

Hi Leila, thanks for your tutorials and videos. Some day as a suggestion could you make a video of Power Pivot and how to calculate with the columns of others pivot tables. For example showing the percentage of the total of another column from another pivot table?

[firmaevents]

Thank you alot Ms. Leila. I will soon join one of your courses. As always you are one of a kind. Thank you for your efforts

[francisferma]

Great tips! I didn't know about the Your Phone feature (although I've seen it before), I will definitely use this in the office.

[wayneedmondson]

Hi Leila. Great tips to keep Windows 10 running at peak performance and efficiency. Thanks for sharing :)) Thumbs up!!

[mattschoular]

Thanks Leila, these are some great tricks. I will be trying some of these for sure.

I tried using the Your Phone app and found it very useful, unfortunately I also found it to rapidly drain the battery on my phone. Regardless, I always appreciate new options...

[silvanoborien]

When watching a Leila video I first press Like, because I know it's gonna be great...
Thank you Leila

[silverlicious]

Leila, thanks for tips. I also like how you use the "Chapters" timestamp function to click to the next tip. Is that function only available once the video is uploaded to Youtube? Or must the video be edited to include the "Chapters" function prior to upload? Where would I find out how to use "Chapters" timestamp?

[WhiteCollarWarriorWallStFraudE]

Excellent as always. And thank you for also teaching me to properly stage backdrops for video tutorial production, as well. Your backdrops are always elegant and tasteful.

[nairobi]

It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Absolutely useful contentswise and presentationwise.

You make me proud of being Persian one more time. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a beautiful young lady explaining what you've been looking for for a long long time.
Excellent job!
