2018-07-07
so your PC has automatically updated to the latest windows 1803 update have no fear today I'm going to be taking you through this whole process of making it snappy making it optimized especially if you're a gamer so what are we waiting for let's get on with it welcome back to takia City and here we are on the desktop we've installed Windows and the latest updates if you want a check you can just go to the bottom left-hand corner here and type in system information left click that bring it up and it should say here build 17 134 that's actually the code name for 1803 which is what we'll be optimizing here today now on your desktop you straight away you've got these icons down here you can right-click this one I never use this you can go to unpin from taskbar right-click this people's icon show the people in the taskbar I just get rid of both of those and now the first things first we're gonna get onto the heavy ones because these are the ones that I think affect performance the most so we type in bottom left-hand corner here system left click that bring this up left click advanced system settings now we'll be moving a little bit quick here so hopefully you can stay with us so you can just play it in half speed whatever you want to do we can go left click on here settings performance and we just uncheck uncheck all these boxes here just like the last time windows seems to reset them a lot of the times slide open combo boxes and that's generally how I have my windows it looks good it's snappy and that's how I like it now startup and recovery left click this make sure we turn off this time to display list of operating systems that's another setting that I just don't use system protection it's up to you guys I usually turn this off as I've never had to use it I know people in data centers like to keep this on its personal preference I find it doesn't really do a good job when I've got all my like discord and all that stuff set up it just makes a mess of it disable system pressure and click apply I like to turn that off your mileage may vary now up here we're moving over to the remote tab left click that advanced uncheck that and uncheck allow resist remote assistance that's just to keep me safe to know that no boogeymen are gonna be after the yes-men now go back to the desktop next thing we're gonna do here type in services left click this this is important because there's some new boogeymen in this message here we want to get rid of them so what we do is we can hold left click and then drag that open to see what we're working with here we can left click start us and then left click it again and that will bring up running so these are all the ones that are running and now there are some new ones that have been introduced here they're a little bit like hey yo what's going on I'm gonna right-click this connected user experiences in telemetry this always seems to re-enable itself with every update disable and then we can go apply and then click stop so that's usually the way I do that now the next one we're moving down to is delivery optimization right click that left click properties and then moving on to disabled apply stop ok and we're gonna go down to there's actually another three more in here so that's the scariest thing distributed link tracking client right click that again left click properties and disabled stop we don't need you now these next two a little bit controversial because they just sort of like hanging around and you like whoa what does he do so it's a payment one here we got payments and NFC se manager Lou this is running it's just like chillin there now if you use your computer with NFC and you use it at a business with credit card stuff you you will not want to disable this you probably want to keep it open there's probably some fancy app that relies on it but if you're just a gamer and right click this thing properties again give it the disabled treatment left click apply and stop that service from ever rearing its ugly head at you again there's also one more as well which pops up here and you're like hey where did he come from and that is the update Orchestrator service ok now I don't use the orchestrator service now if you're blind and you use this service you may wish to keep it on so just keep that in mind but again it's another service it's an other thing hoggin resources now already we should start to notice a difference things already be like wow this is snappy that's what this guy does and now we wanted left click on this little one here that's the just the folder and file explorer and we want to left click view and then go to options and then go again left click view and just scroll down until you see a setting called show sync provider notifications want to left-click this which will essentially disable it left click apply and then click ok now we're gonna move into the settings tab because there's essentially the first one which is pretty important this is update and security because within this there's a lot more stuff so let's left-click this and now ok might I need an update but we'll do that after we've done this so we want to left-click on Windows security and then go to left click virus and threat protection and now we've got a left click again virus and protection of virus and threat protection settings left click that now we can turn off cloud delivery protection and we can left-click automatic sample submission off so now those two settings are off we can just left click this little X here and essentially move back to these settings menu so we're now halfway through this tutorial and a quick message from today's video sponsor s cd-keys if you don't have Windows 10 activated yet or you need to get a new key for another machine and you want to get a bundle pack with office 2016 plus then you can get that for under $40 with the coupon code TYC sk so you get 10% off if you use this coupon and it's already a really cheap price for this bundle pack of a Windows 10 office global key 2016 professional plus and also Windows 10 a 64-bit pro as well you can download these from the Microsoft website make yourself a boot disk for the windows and also make yourself a backup copy for the professional plus so you can then use them on your new machine anyway moving back onto the guide left click here privacy and we won't actually turn a lot of this off some of it however we will need to be enabled because of the way Windows is integrating apps and also other stuff with the latest build so if we keep going down we'll be able to change this left click here to basics diagnostics and feedback and also delete Diagnostics data so there's the delete requests and windows feedback frequency we want to left-click this and go to Nevel I don't want that service running it could interrupt games especially if you're in a clutch play that could affect your performance and then left click here of activity history I can just like left-click that cuz that's less stuff Microsoft needs from me and I'll clear my activity history and then we can go down to now app permissions this one's pretty important the location that seems to be turned off by default now but camera so if you've got a web camera you may wish to leave this actually on I used to disable this all the time because a lot of the programs were independent of this setting but now we've got to leave this on so camera on I don't need these wants to use my camera but I do need Skype because I do contact my relatives via Skype so I'm gonna leave that and also camera on this time around as opposed to my previous guides microphone same deal we're gonna leave just that and Skype and camera set to on and then we're gonna move through and notifications I don't need that account info I don't want that contacts turn that off I don't need that there's a lot of settings though that are still you know pretty useless so we're just gonna go through these and left click disable these because I use an independent email program I use outlook for example which is independent of Windows inbuilt email editor thing so again left click and these getting rid of them just really sort of getting rid of all that stuff that you donate so background apps I use Google Chrome so I generally turn that off app Diagnostics again there's just so much stuff here that's just left on and it's essentially services in the background that are just really making your windows that much slower so here it is here there so that's the privacy tab all done once they've disabled all that which we did we can go back to home we can move over to Cortana because now there's a few little settings here which I don't want to use Cortana if I don't have to now windows called tana cloud surgeons pretty much tied in with the search bar and I like my search bar down here I don't want to get rid of it but I don't want Windows cloud searches and I don't want my device history when I search for something like system info that's none of these two so we're going to turn those two off and also here we can turn this off as well and then we should be able to go back to home and - ease of access now so automatically I don't like this sitting here it's actually a little bit taxing on your graphics card as well you can see here the show transparency in Windows if you like the fancy look of that you can have it on I like to turn it off because I actually find it annoying as well I show desktop background image I like that you know this is that custom image and that about does its for ease of access we moved back at home and then go to the gaming tab because what we've got here is the game bar which I don't use it all game DVRs another setting which I don't use so I like to turn that off as well broadcaster turned that off as well so I turn off essentially all these settings here because I just don't use them and then click back on home and then we'll move over time and language I like to set time automatically off and just make sure that my time is manually set with my region as well because that's again another service that's running in the background that can be hogging things so click home and now we go to accounts and I've got a manual offline account I don't have an online account and so you just start to see with Windows 10 how much stuff is just going on in the background now it's okay if you've got the latest and greatest so left click this use my sign-in info it's okay if you've got the latest greatest PC but if you don't which a lot of people don't it really starts to make performance tanked so there we go back to home again moving over to apps now there's a very important one because there's just so much crap installed here so going through this list we're gonna be uninstalling essentially all the stuff that we don't use I've never bubble Witch Saga three I don't know I've never candy crush this one like literally gets installed on every version of Windows at Disney Magic Kingdom's Dolby access feedback hub it just the list goes on guys I'm xboxlive you managed to wish to keep this installed if you do have an xbox one or something but I don't play xbox so Xbox Live is off the list default apps after I install Google Chrome I usually change that to Google Chrome offline maps delete all maps and then we go to automatically update maps to turn that off another service that you do not need running turn these off again apps for websites I turn all these off and then we move down to startup and I turn this off as well Windows Defender notification back to home cool we're almost there guys keep up with us and now moving into network and Internet it's a left click on VPN and you can turn these off unless you're using a VPN connection via this Windows app so I don't use a VPN at the moment on especially on this computer I do use it occasionally it depends on the data but then again those apps have their own way of working proxy we can leave that on as well don't turn that off now moving through phone there's really nothing in here same with devices but system left clicking on system here this is the last tab we can move through and there are some settings that are a little bit annoying I don't like notifications I don't like reminders and I don't like those other settings focus assistance should be off I don't really need these alarms power and sleep this is pretty important because I like to turn this on high power for a desktop so we left click this here so we left click on parent sleep left click additional power settings and then if you click show additional plans I like to collect like high performance and then go to change plan settings now I like to make sure my display turns off every 15 minutes it's actually a comfortable setting but change advanced power settings left click this and now I never like to turn my hard drives off so I left click and then type in 0 and then click apply I also like to put this on here the slideshow on paused and that's really about it for these settings here they're all pretty good in high performance so that'll give you the best performance especially in games storage sense this should be switched off it's an annoying setting I never use a hide apple app in tablet mode hide a pie on taskbar in tablet mode I also like to use this top mode and don't ask me and always switch so I like to have my desktop mode there this is up to you multitasking if you like to snap stuff I never like to snap stuff it's up to you and then moving over here shared experiences make sure this one's turned off and here we go that leaves us back to now our desktop right here where we can left-click and type in CMD and then we can right click that and click run as administrator and there's just one little trick I like to do because my computer doesn't hibernate anymore I just like to type in power C F G and then spacebar - H and then type in off hit enter and that will free up some SSD space awesome hard drive space and with all that aside that is today's Windows 10 optimization tutorial now from here you can install the apps you want to install you can install anything you wish to do but the base of Windows everything I've done here is reversible so you're not going to come into any problems and of course we've saved ourselves from a sluggish slow Windows and we've made it very snappy so if you enjoyed this one then be sure to hit that like button of course check out today's video sponsor as well if you wish to get a cheap copy of office and Windows 10 bundled together and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
