sluggish games are crashing you don't know what to do but that's alright because this guide is going to make Windows 10 great again welcome back to take your city this brand coming to you guys today with a full optimization guide for Windows 10 anniversary update now we'll get straight on into it and I'll be on the bottom right hand corner here going you guys through the whole process but the first things first left left click on that search bar type in services and then open that desktop app and we're going to go through here and make sure it's organized by name meat so that way you guys can follow me and exactly disable the services that I'm disabling and remember as well this is how I optimize my Windows 10 for me so other people will do it differently but it seems to be a very popular theme when I update it and people want to copy my settings so be sure to just go through here copy it all and then enjoy a fast and snappy windows so right click on the first one here auto timezone updater we just want to disable that unless you're traveling internationally with your PC which I doubt you are with your desktop then you want to probably disable this just one of those services you don't need go down to connected devices platform service right click that and then click stop and disable get rid of that one too and then right beneath that is connected user experiences and telemetry so right click that again disabled and stop and we'll just apply so and then underneath that we want to go down to I believe it's called distributed link tracking client right click that properties same old jazz here disabled stop bank see you later no more data that I don't need to give out unnecessarily this one here as well this is on manual now so it shouldn't be starting up but it used to be have some controversy surrounding it being a key logger that is the DM WAP Push SCV so just click apply and click ok and then I want you guys to go down to now radio management service so this one I like to disable this as well as it has no bearing for what I do and don't need so that's it for services let's move on now to the next step so the next step we're going to do here is go down this left bar here and type in accessibility and then we go to other ease of access settings and there should be one here play animations in Windows I want you to turn this off if you are on a real sluggish computer you can also turn off show windows background that's if your unlike a real old computer you just made it to Windows 10 but that's up to you go up to narrator here make sure they're both turned off magnifier I like to turn everything off here as well and that's about it for this setting so the next thing we're going to go through here is just simply right-click on the desktop and go to display settings here and once you've clicked on that it should open up a heap of tabs here and we want to go down to apps and features and now within this tab there is going to be a lot of apps that we just don't really don't need I mean 3d builder okay I don't need it so I'm just going to get rid of that we can also keep moving down and we can go down to alarms and clocks app installer don't need it and you're just going through you guys can feel free to uninstall the exact programs that I'm on installing here these are just programs I just don't seem so moving down along apps and features now I'll put a list in the description below of all the apps and features that I actually uninstalled from here as my screen went black when I was doing this but moving on now to default apps just make sure that you've got the music player that you want selected when app is the one of choice I use and also for video play I use VLC media player but the main one you want to make sure is Windows Photo Viewer is default on your photo of your app I don't know why it's saying choose default there but it should be Windows Photo Viewer but moving down into notifications in and actions here we can actually take off these here and make sure that you can turn off the ones that you don't need so for me I like to get notifications from apps for instance Creative Cloud I like to know when the actual program is updated or not and so in the next one we can go down to now is parents sleep you guys can copy me if you want screen I like to turn the screen off after 20 minutes and also the plugged in PC I like to never put it to sleep I also like to another thing I like to do here is I like to have my hard drive so in advanced power settings I like to have it that my hard drives never turn off and I've found so you just type in 0 there I find that that actually has never had a hard drive fail on me so that's maybe something that you guys want to copy as well for your parents sleep settings moving down to storage now I really have to touch anything there offline maps pretty important if you guys want to sort of free up a little bit room I like to delete all maps here and then I also like to turn off automatically update maps moving down the tablet mode I like to click off and I also like to change that to use desktop mode and also just leave that on that because it should always be using desktop mode now multitasking we can click on to this tab here and arrange windows we can leave all those on generally I haven't had a problem with those multitasking settings there's not such a big deal that you can change it as you like it projecting to this PC I don't want to projector my PC and vice versa I don't want to treat my PC to other people because everybody got streaming apps to do that so the next part of this guide we're just going to right click on the desktop here and click on personalize and we're going to move into here and then go to colors now you can turn this off here make Start taskbar and Action Center transparent I don't turn it off better for performance miniscule amount and also I like to change it to orange here is that's just the way my theme is the dark theme I generally don't like that at all I like to leave it on light though your mileage may vary then we're going to lock screen here I don't like to get those fun facts and I don't like to show the lock screen background picture also get on to Cortana lock screen settings just make sure those are turned off yeah turn all those off and you know and you can turn that off as well history view so make sure all those settings are turned off and then we can move down to a start here as well you want to make sure show occasionally show suggestions on start is off and then as well as show recently open items and jump lists so that's how I like to have it and then moving down to taskbar this isn't pretty important as well so another thing you can do here is have it on the bottom and never combine the taskbar as well and then if we go down here to the notifications area then we can go to turn system icons on or off and now I generally like to turn the Action Center off was that was updated in the anniversary update and sort of comes on there it's pretty annoying in that bottom right corner I'm kind of not used to it and I'll show you guys exactly what I mean so here it is here and we just turned that instead of having it on we could just turn it off and we'll disappear here from the bottom right so I'll get back to the bottom right there for you guys and we'll move on to the next now another thing on multiple displays I like to do is instead of having show taskbar buttons I like to have it on all task bars and also I like to have never selected so our second task bar on a second monitor will also display our applications and stuff so it's very easy it's an easier multitaskers tweak so now moving along with the guide we go down here type in Windows Update and we can go to Windows Update settings left click that and also we can move down here and go to advanced options in Windows Update Advanced Options and you can make sure just that's checked if you want to defer updates as well that's something you can do if you don't like one say for instance Windows 10 anniversary update but another important thing here is to go to privacy settings sorry choose how updates are delivered and make sure this one is not on this tab here so you don't want it on PCs on my local network and PCs on the Internet you don't want to be having your computer as like a hub for sending updates to other people that'll just kill your network especially if you've got sluggish upload speeds like I do at the moment so check that make sure that's just checked on or you can just turn it off altogether and then back here on the main tab we can go to Windows Defender and just make sure that I like to turn this notifications area off if you want to turn off real-time protection you can but it'll just turn itself back on anyway and that's about it for that tab there so now's are actually very important setting with Windows anniversary update they enabled a thing called game DVR digital video recording by default and this is causing a lot of games to crash I've had csgo crash on me I've had dota 2 crash on me and essentially we want to disable this or just turn it off now if you've got the Xbox app and you really need that and you can just type in here Xbox open it up and then disable it from the settings tab so if you like me and you just want to completely disable all together you can just type in here PowerShell and then right click on that and click run as administrator and then what you want to do after this is then type in here and I'll put this in the description below you just control paste this so I'll put it in the description below for you guys just copy that drop it in here it's get high an app X package star Xbox app star / remove - app X package and hit enter and your Xbox app should be gone game DVR with it should be gone as well so the next thing we want to do is Cortana now we actually can't disable Cortana from the start bar like we used to where we could just turn it off we actually have to go into a thing called Group Policy editor and now if you guys are on Windows 10 home you will actually have to do this via the registry edit and if you guys want that I'll put a setting in the description below just a quick reg hack file you can download that double-click it and we'll disable it for you home users but if you're on Windows pro or Enterprise for instance you can then just open up that group policy editor like I've got here open it up and then we can just go to administrative templates so we go to administrative templates here move along now to I think it's windows components so we get a Windows components click on that tab and go all the way down to search and then we're going to go to double click allow Cortana double click that and then click disabled and click apply click OK allow Cortana above lock screen I like to disable that as well so those two files disabled we can then move on now to the next setting so you like optimizing drives I like optimizing drives he said the problem is I don't like it when windows chooses it for me so what we want to do here is go back down to Start menu click on optimize there and we want to optimize hard drive I think this should be like that should be the one defragment and optimize your hard drive and left click on that open that up and then we go to change settings see schedule optimization is on and it's usually on weekly but I don't like this so I'm going to go click change settings here and I'm going to clock uncheck that run on a schedule click OK and then click going to click close and that's done you're going to click OK for this next part we're going to go down here and type advanced system settings and once that comes up you should be able to open up the advanced system settings tab so just left click on that and then move on here to performance type in their settings or left click that and to go to and just change it to how you want it I like to take all these settings off here the fades and the animations and also the show of shadows under the windows and under the mouse pointer so I like to take those off and then also here in the startup and recoveries I like to time to display a list of operating systems I like to take that off as well and then click OK we move out in a system protection I actually like to turn this off you guys your mileage may vary but I find I really need it if I'm getting a fresh install the windows I'll just reinstall the whole damned OS so moving on now to remote make sure those settings are taken off as well okay so moving along here now we can go back to this search bar and type in privacy and then click that privacy settings there and just going along and make sure all this stuff is kind of turned off I like to have it all turned off so we're moving through off-off-off and I'm pretty sure this will bring it over from your previous installation of Windows so if you followed my previous Windows 10 optimization guide there should be some other little ones though that pop up like notifications turn that off and no we don't want you to get to know me because you're a computer and the last time you got to know Windows you did some like Nazi thing wasn't it so let's apps access my contacts turn that off as well in contacts and then moving down into calendar leave that off call history off email off just everything off off off off we're just turning this whole thing off now another important one down here and feedback and diagnosing settings is to have this on never and make sure that's on basics so we're sending myself a little bit of information we just want to send as least amount as possible as well as freeing up things so background apps another important tab here so we go to background ups and I want you guys to you guys can turn off the ones that I'm turning off as well so I pretty much leave them all off except for Microsoft edge because if I'm playing YouTube music through my browser I want to leave that on so now another one we can so all these are off except for Microsoft edge so let's move on now to the next tab so some last-minute tweaks that I'll go through with you guys is to right-click on the clock on the bottom right corner and adjust date and time and then make sure that this is set to offset time automatically now after you've done that you can go to the bottom left corner here type in ms config and open that up and then we go to boot here make sure no GUI boot is selected and then go to startup and we can open task manager here and make sure those programs that you don't want loaded up for instance Realtek HD audio manager I like to disable that and also the Windows Defender notification item I like to disable that as well so like to have those two disabled and then I click apply ok and we'll exit without restart because we're still doing the guide and now the final thing you may wish to go to is a website called night comm ni ni te comm and I'll put the link in the description below for you guys but this site allows you to get all those little apps that you would need on a fresh install all-in-one package for you to download for your own personal use so we'll go to this website and we'll try and bring up say for instance all the ones that I usually use so for web browsers Firefox that's one that I actually use because it's got some great add-ons messaging Skype I use that and then for meteor I use VLC and also I use a winamp as well so I'd like to click on those two and then over here you can go to for instance a file-sharing Cubitt torrents really good as well and Avis is also a good antivirus although Windows Defender I find is doing a pretty good job and then lastly get steam from here as well and you can just pick all the ones that you otherwise would need I like winner as well so if I wanted to get that whole package I would then click all those and then I'd get in your ninite and that'll get me an installer with all those select programs that I need anyway that's about it for me today guys if you like this video be sure to hit that like
