so you've just updated to Windows 10 creators update and now you may be having problems things might not work or you may not have problems and you just want to update and optimize your system or you may need me to save your life well today I'm going to do all three for you guys welcome back guys my name is Brian and I'll be up here in the top right hand corner guiding you through today's whole optimization process and now the first thing you want to do is if you haven't updated to creators update and you do want to update then I'll put a link in the description below where you can manually update at any time the first step we're going to go through is if you are having problems and if you are then I recommend going to the bottom left-hand corner here typing in settings and then left clicking on this tab here and then go to update and security and I want you to go down to left click on recovery and then click get started and essentially now you can reset your PC on Windows 10 creators update and still have all your files there I recommend keeping all your files because then you can just reinstall them it will be a bit tedious but it will be worth it with the creators update optimization now if you don't need to do this step or if you're not having problems then you can skip this first step now after we've reset at our computer we can go back to the settings tab again and we can go to again click on update and security and go to Windows Update tab here and click Advanced Options and now in this tab I want you guys to go down to choose how updates are delivered and then you can turn this off though if you are on a network with many pcs you gave it on pcs on my local network and that will save you a bit of data on your connection if you are data capped though the next tab we want to go to so and click back twice go to Windows Defender and then left click on open Windows Defender Security Center and then I want you guys to go down to this little icon here the shield and then I want you to click on virus and threat protection settings now here I want you to disable these two so the cloud-based protection I like to turn that off and I also like to turn off automatic sample submission so that way I'm not sending out any nasties or any data when I'm while I'm gaming I won't be sending out anything and also real-time protection I recommend keeping this on because Windows Update 10 does do a pretty good job of protecting your computer and I have benchmark that's in the past and having it on and off doesn't make a difference to FPS though the next setting we can go to now is go back to the home page settings and click on left click privacy and then I want you to go through these tabs and just copy my settings so keep all these off then left click on location and make sure all the settings are turned off here camera you can turn that off microphone turn that off notifications again off and we just keep going through this list and making sure everything is turned off here though there is an important one that we will get to and that is the feedback and diagnostics now we want to go down to feedback frequency so I like to turn this to basic and then I also like to go down here and go to never so I don't want my computer sending out information whenever it wants to so I like to turn that to never then we go down to background applications now I actually like to turn this off except for Windows edge if you're using edge then it's a good idea to leave that on if you're playing music on YouTube and you want for example that music to be playing on in the background then I do recommend just keeping that one on and then that way when you're listening to music it will still work so other than that we can turn all these off which is a little bit tedious and then app Diagnostics I want you guys to left like that and you can turn that off as well now for the next part ease of access left click on that and then we can go down to I believe it's other options and now I'd like to turn this one off play animations in Windows off so that tab is now done now to move on to gaming which is a little bit of a controversial topic in Windows 10 creators update as they have introduced a game mode which essentially I have test and I will be recommending to leave it on especially if you're on an older computer and so with this I want you guys to not touch this setting in the game bar but go down to game DVR and I like to turn off record audio when I record a game capture mouse cursor settings and also set 60fps and then here on the broadcasting tab I like to turn off record audio when I broadcast and again turn that option off and game mode we can use game mode so that is with the gaming setting there moving on to the next tab here time and language we can left-click on that and I like to turn off set time automatically that way you are not syncing with the server and you can just set your time in manually as you can see here this is actually an accurate time of the time where I'm at at the moment and now back at the settings menu we can left-click on accounts and just go to sync your settings and I like to make sure this is all disabled and then moving on to apps this is quite a big one and I want to uninstall all these apps that I will not need so I'm moving through here just uninstalling all this garbage that I will not be using candy crush as well I know that's a popular menace so we like to get rid of that one feedback hub yep see you later and we're going down to get office because I already have office I just have to install it keep password manager notes thank you and so we're just moving through and uninstalling all the baddies here guys even onedrive not a big fan of using it though you if you do use onedrive you may wish to keep that so Microsoft solitaire not a big fan and then paid Wi-Fi mobile see later people yep I would have uninstalled people if I had to you have don't need people in my life okay royal revel to see you later Skype yep I like the desktop edition anyway and we're just moving through and getting it rid of it all so really it's just a mass purging of all this stuff here guys mass purging so I wish they had money because I wanted to uninstall money get rid of it push it you guys and I've known for the last one so add some features that's all done all the stuff that we don't need is now uninstalled we can go down now to default apps if you like to change this around you and I just like to leave this on default now and then we move down to the offline maps tab on the left here and I want you to go down to automatically update maps and turn that off as I don't use maps through Windows actually like to use Google Maps and then also delete all maps and then apps for websites that's a tab that you can also turn off these two settings as well in apps for websites I like to turn these two off too and now back at the main page we can then go to personalization and I want you guys to move down to this one here so occasionally show suggestions on style I could turn that off and I like to keep those two on this is how I personally use my computer you guys are welcome to copy that tab there and then next on the taskbar I like to actually do this one here never combined taskbar buttons never that's just how I am some people may differ but that's just me you know the last time we're going to look at in settings here is the system so left click on that and then I want you guys to turn on nightlife if you haven't already night lied nightlife yeah just turn that on get in there baby so turn that on and I like to also set these settings on default 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. is actually pretty good for me I do like this feature as you now no longer need flux now moving down to notifications and actions so I like to turn off pretty much all of these except for get notifications from apps and other senders moving down to power and sleep I'd like to never have my computer sleeping and sometimes it can be problematic so I like to turn that to never and then moving down to the storage tab here I need to touch that tablet hide icon and we can also left click there and go to use desktop mode and don't ask me and don't switch multitasking it's up to you guys I like to turn this off completely as I don't like those features and then projecting on this PC that's up to you at the tab that doesn't really do anything for me and then lastly shared experiences which is a pretty important one I like to turn this off and make sure it's off so after we're finished with the settings menu we can now go down to the left bottom search bar and type in system and then left click on system control panel nut up and then left click on advanced system settings so now want you guys to go into performance here and then left click on this one and then I like to actually turn a lot of these off and are you guys are welcome to copy the ones that I've got here so this is how I like to have this menu here and then for the other two we don't need to touch that and then click apply and then left click ok now for system protection I like to actually turn this off this is a controversial one but I live at a problem turning this off especially when my Windows has a problem I like to reinstall everything so that one is up to you your mileage may vary and then on remote I like to click left click advanced and then left click and turn that off allow this computer we can control remotely and then left click allow remote assistance connections to your computer I like to disable that unless you really need it you can go and turn it back on in the future and now another tab is in these system properties here we can also go to startup and recovery so left click that and then I want you guys to uncheck this box here time to list operating systems and this will make a computer boot up just a little bit faster let's click OK and then we're done with the advanced system property tab now for this next step we're going to go to the bottom left hand corner again left click on the search bar and type in services.msc and then left click this one here services desktop app and then once we're in here I want you guys to left-click on the status tab and this makes it easier to find things so I like to go down now to distributed link tracking client and I like to right-click that one and then click properties and then I also like to go and left-click on the startup type click disabled and then click stop click apply and there's also two other services that I do like to disable in this settings tab here and that is diem WAP Push which I cannot here it is here so this one here DW WAP Push service the right click that and then click on disabled again and then click a plug that's like like a keylogger service it's a one that you don't want on your computer and then the next one we can also go to connected user experiences and telemetry right click this one click on properties left click disabled stop and then apply so there are three services I like to disable some of the other ones actually don't start up unless you really need them like I know a lot of people like to disable these ones but I generally don't recommend doing it as they don't start up anyway if you're just gaming on your computer now the last step we're going to go through here is just a little bit of tweaking on the desktop in general so I like to right-click some of these and unpin them from the taskbar just to clear up my taskbar I also like to alt tab manually so I like to left click show taskbar View button and turn that off also while we're down here I also like to just left click on the start button and also really just uninstall some of this stuff on here or if I can't uninstall it I just turn the live tiles off so and then unpin them from the start button so after you're doing that you can it just makes a little bit of a difference it's not too much of a biggie but it's just something that I like to do personally again your mileage may vary that I like to tune my startup menu everything on my PC I like it running perfectly and that's how I do things and now two final tips for you guys these are the last steps I like to do this one is a little bit weird in Windows 10 creators update so I want you two guys to find a file on your computer so just go on this PC click in any folder then left click a file here and then click view on the tab here and then go to options on the right here and then left click Change folder and search options and now once you guys to go to view left click on the View tab here and then I want you guys to go down to sink show sync provider notifications and then uncheck that click apply and click okay now moving back to this PC this is the final tip I have for you guys is to go here and you can see it we've got 199 gigabytes on this drive freed up and now since I don't let my computer go to sleep or hibernate and this last step is optional if you have your computer hibernating and going to sleep and I don't recommend you do this but I like to type in CMD and then right-click on this and then left click run as a personal and click yes open this up and we'll watch the space free up here so I type in power CFG dash H and then type off enter and now if we refresh this we'll see that we've now got seven gigabytes of extra space on our main OS installation drives anyway guys that's it for today's Windows 10 creators update optimization guide I hope you guys enjoyed it and if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what was your favorite optimization and if it made a difference for you also if you have any tips or tricks of your own then be sure to drop them in the comment section below and if they're really good ones that can help everyone out then I'll add them to the description and also on that note with Windows game-mode make sure if you want to turn this on in games your game is on exclusive full-screen mode and not windowed mode and then you can hold down the windows key and press G then click on the mechanical wheel and then while you're in the game you can turn game mode on and now I will have a video coming out addressing the performance of game mode versus game mode off vs. the previous update of Windows on a potato PC and there are some interesting insights that will be gained from that video and that's why I'm recommending turning game mode on and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
