Helpful Windows 10 Tips And Tricks Everyone Should Know Part 1 

Regarding the Start Menu - You didn't show that the apps can be grouped into folders of like functions. Give it a go. This way you can have work/task related folders. Like for IT activity - Put all IT Management tools/apps into one IT Tools folder. To create a Start Menu Folder - Take one app and overlay it on another. It will create a New Folder. You can then name the folder and begin to add other apps as required. Very handy!!! I think.

One tip for Windows 10 that I always use is going to privacy and security in settings, then background apps and I switch off all the background apps. I find it helps a lot with performance.

One thing you can do if you're lazy and don't feel like changing the document type when saving in Notepad is putting the filename and extension in quotation marks. It will then override the default .txt save. So, typing "DoIt.cmd" even with the save as type set to txt will still yield the file being saved as a command batch file. :)

A lot of us don't like the Windows start menu. We liked the W7 version,wshich we can recreate with "Classic Shell."

6:30 can also be done by pressing windows key+D, it works to both minimize and maximizes. I remember that in Win 7 you could also hover over the button to glimpse the desktop, it would show the borders of all windows, but you could see the desktop through them. it didnt look like it does this anymore.

Make your computer a little more Mac like… I turn that off on my Mac. Maybe making my Mac a little more Windows like? 😂 Good tips and love your videos!

Battery life in High Performance directly contributes to the battery expansion issue that all lithium-ion batteries eventually have. restrict usage of the high performance setting and don't leave the device plugged in overnight if you don't have to.

Cool video! I didn't know about the start menu backup trick but I still prefer to use Open Shell as I find it easier to get to the legacy control panel apps and I like that I can search in "all programs". Looking forward to the next video!

High performance doesnt do anything but increase power and does nothing with the hardware so you getting heat and same performance. Balance means running normally and it will request power when needed.

Win+D will also toggle showing the desktop.

The most usefull thing (to me, all the tips are good though) this video brought, was honestly the link to get the discounted keys. That has helped so much. So thank you.

Thanks for sharing the tips. It would be easier if export directly with a batch file too. ---batch-file-start---- reg export HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount DefaultAccount.reg /y xcopy /s/Y %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\DefaultLayouts.xml DefaultLayouts.xml ---batch-file-ends--- "HKCU" stands for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" - So you have two batch-files to backup and restore the startmenu fast as possible.

Cool video Cyber cpu tech! You inspired me to make my own channel. Keep up the amazing videos!

I hope you will hit 100k soon your comtent is so good and helpful

Jaystwocent was my top RU-vid. You surpass him, thank you for all you do for us, you're a blessing Brother

For the power plan thing, i actually use this in group policy because windows 10 and 11 removed much of the group policy object options for controlling the clockspeed, when i've got 36 laptops in a closed cart, i dont want them peeling off the paint and stickers with all of the heat from 288 cores running at 4.2Ghz because the scheduled updates just started installing. It is nice that you can have different behaviors between lid open, and lid closed, i just wish we could do the same with clockspeeds and that RAM were also variable, i'd love to have the CPU clock to 1.2Ghz, and RAM down to 800 from 3200MT/s

hahaaa i upgraded to 11 with you, and backed up to 10 with you. very very good clear information the whole way!

9:00 "Backup Start Menu Layout" allows you to do it with GUI with one click

One other thing about that DVD (or .ISO of Windows), one can perform an "upgrade install" to repair things & will often fix many issues w/out reinstalling software. That is, as long as the computer will boot to begin with. It's also how I actually do my upgrades, can use the automated installer do so, but this is usually faster. Does require a few updates, as most of these released prior will download in background.

Another great video. Thank you . That last tip was awesome. I really appreciate that

Great keep the info coming plz.

in win 11 u can't resize start menu anynore

I love that Start Menu registry tip! Thanks!

Is there a way to copy default file & program associations to a new PC? I've really struggled with that!

Even the ads on this channel are awesome!

CyberCPU Tech, Where's the batch file content? Thanks 4 Sharing

I wish you had made this video long time ago, before I developed my hate relationship with 10. Thanks, good video. 👍

Since you have to reboot after applying the registry file for the default start menu, you should go ahead and add shutdown -r into your doit.cmd file

Nice

Hey Rich, I don't have any power plans other than Balanced. Could you do a video about how to creat others?

Pretty Cool Video Rich. Question: Do you know of a way to ADD snap assist to Windows 10 registry? The only thing I do like about Windows 11! Thanks in advance..

Best tip in the video : fart when people hug you 👌

great video.

Any Tip to Search File Fast In File Explorer. whwnever I open Harddisk It says Working on it and also search very slow . ANything?

in power and sleep i dont have the slider option only the two drop-down menu's

My favorite tip in Windows 10 is to make a system image using "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" included tool. This let me try a new operating system (another version of Windows or a Linux distro) on my real hardware and restore everything as it was a couple of hours or days before.

Oh, this is on my birthday! :D

My Show Desktop isn't working... Same thing for messages. The icon shows 6 messages but when I click the circle nothing happens and when I click the show desktop area, nothing happens. I am running Windows 11 but it seemed to work before one of their "Moments" giving me many "moments"

Hey I'm bored of the UI of Windows 10/11 UI is there any fun things or changes to make to their UI?

Does it work the Startmenu trick for Windows 11 also? This registry key and .xml file is the same. Thanks

I don't understand why I don't have a "Performance and Energy" section under "Power & Sleep". There is no "power mode" slider bar. It's weird...I am fully updated with version 22H2, build 19045.2728. That is the very latest MS has offered me. What gives? BTW, this is an MSI laptop w/ I5 9300H CPU and Nvidia1650 discrete graphics. EDIT: I just remembered I have a performance slider bar when clicking my battery icon on the taskbar. It is set to max. Does this do the job you meant even when plugged in(as it always is)?

Thank you for this. I am really getting tired of hearing about Windoze 11 :o)

thanks Richie

Don't you need a CD or DVD drive to rip the disk to turn it into and ISO???

Thanks anyway. I understood that this is for expert, not for a newbie like me. I didn't get anything about win10englishx64, or something like that, and not even about CD, DVD iso, I don't have any CD or DVD player.

then i try to update windows 11 its say build error undoing changing then go but to the version i already have and windows update say i have Install error - 0xc1900101

cool trick about the startmenu backup, but i wish something else. I usually thick or unthick certain options overall the Settings menu. Can I export those settings too somehow as a cmd file ? For ex i turn off the Notifications, all in the Privacy section, turn the Game mode off, the maps, insider, some things in the Narrator, and lot of other thicks... same for disabling some services (or put them from automatic to manual), is there a method to automate that through a self created cmd file ? I know there are some specific tools around, but none of them make exactly what i want. Is there a good tool that can replicate and remember my mouse clicks, so that I can import those clicks on a fresh installed windows ?

Hey Rich, do you have a discord server?

u should tell ppl about REFS it is very secureu can not be hacked with a pc running windows pro or home

MS has taught me to ignore notifications by perpetually having the "sign in to MS account to continue using apps on other devices" notification. I wish I could turn this one off.

Would disable Windows Connect Now Service.

FART WHEN PEOPLE HUG YOU it make them feel strong 🤣

REG AS IN REGGIE

my self i allways disable the user control setting and i use the mouse auto open

u can no w het new update feature turn on in canary now

Year 2023, and there are still people who say you have to switch to "high performance" energy options. It's not necessary, your computer will go to 100% when needed. It is not a good idea to set the "high performance", your CPU will go to 100% even when it doesn't need it: when you watch videos on youtube, when you are listening to music, when you are writing in word, or just when you are at your desktop. Having it at 100% all the time will generate more heat and shorten the lifetime of the components. It has already been proven that having the "high performance" plan will not give you more FPS in games, nor will you get extra performance by magic. It is best to leave it on "balanced", the computer will go to 100% when it needs it, and will lower clock frequencies when the CPU has a low workload. Please stop telling people to set "high performance", not only is it useless, it's a very bad idea. Stop repeating Windows XP tips (which had a very bad implementation of power management). What's next? Saying you don't need paging file if you have 32 gigs of ram or more?

❤hi you are a pc god. I have a pc windows 7 😢 sorry, but ITS turning on and cooking over and over again. So I can not her windows 10 Before it work. Hope for your Help. Hugs Rita from Denmark.

I'm subscribed and listen to view videos now. And mostly their tips and tricks and all here's what you do for certain things you know more focused topic. On this video on the tips and tricks you mentioned the first topic and then you said you personally don't use that option even though you suggested it as a tip. And you did not go into anything of the nature of why you don't use it. If it's tips you're preventing here why are you mentioning tips that you don't use shouldn't shouldn't the tip be not to use it. When it comes to you starting your computer and the apps and things that you were using turning on with them. No the recent ones. But you used turning on when you come back on your computer. You mentioned you don't use them but you shouldn't have mentioned it as a trick to use them cuz obviously that's not something that you personally so how could that be a good tip benefiting somebody else especially when a lot of that stuff was slow down the start time of your computer let alone other things. Let her know of what you're saying that for you for me to know that you know what the hell I'm talking about. They have to know the reasoning and the house in the why's and how comes. If they're taking tips and tricks to be able to run that computer better or something of that nature they obviously don't know and they need to know just telling him a certain tracking and saying I don't personally use it and not telling him anything other why or how or the reasoning behind it leaves them in the dark don't you think. I just thought I'd bring that up. Doesn't help me in any way but maybe it'll help my fellow sapien brothers and sisters out there that may be searching for information and not getting the reasoning behind it to actually know whether or not they're going it's going to benefit them if they do do that trick or tip.

Tip #1, move to Linux.

I have really been enjoying your channel. Glad I found it... I especially like you videos on Registry hacks. I've got one I would love to find. I use my laptop at home and at work, and when I am at the office, I use a little tool from Microsoft Garage called MouseWithoutBorders, so I can control the laptop and the office PC with a single mouse. The problem is that everytime I start up the laptop at the office, the program generate a new security code, and I have to manually paste in the code from the PC which never changes. Very tedious. I wish there was a registry tweak to stop the laptop client from generating a new code everytimg and stay on the working one. That's a video I would love to see. Thanks.
