Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update (FCU) OPTIMIZATION Guide

2017-11-19
welcome back to take us sitting today we have here the fall creators update optimization guide and you guys have been going crazy spamming me on Facebook Instagram and also Twitter in the comment section about getting this guy done so here it is today we're gonna go through this thing pretty quickly I'm gonna be up here in the top right hand corner of the screen guiding you guys through so first thing I want you to do is type in settings left click settings and we're gonna go through from the bottom to the top because the bottom is probably the most tricky we gotta get left click update and security and then on this update windows update tab we want to go down to Advanced Options left click that and then go all the way down here to delivery optimization left click that and we want to turn this off now if you've got a lot of pcs in your local area network you could actually leave this on but we'll segue later into why we're turning this off when we disable some services but let's get back to this main tab here back to the one where we have Windows Update we want to go down to Windows Defender open up the Windows Defender tab left click on this little shield and go down to left click virus and threat protection settings we want to turn off cloud delivered and click yes and then we want to turn off the automatic sample submission so there's just two little services now we want to turn off just to make things a little better so that's all you really have to do in that tab and now we want to move on to the next tab in settings which will be privacy now this is a big one because you got a lot of crap here so like simply boot it up general you want to turn this off off off and we're gonna be calling a lot of these settings location there's nothing to call their camera yep call that get off notifications off yep and we just keep going through and we just off a lot of these now if you need these individual settings you can turn them back on this is the good thing about my optimization tutorial we're not doing any reg hacks if you find you need something then you can turn it back on at a later date that's not a problem so messaging radios off other devices that should be good but we can turn that off as well feedback and diagnostics make sure this is set to basic and then we move down here and we want to make sure this is never Windows should ask my feedback never so make sure you go basic off and never and we should be good that should be the that should be about it and then background apps with the lost tab here on its third last time sorry off just turn them all off unless you need any of these applications running in the background I just like to turn them off and great again this is a very lean install of Windows I've got my editing programs I've got all the apps that I need installed individually which will run in the background regardless of Windows apps so I want to turn this off here app diagnostics and then we just move back to the Settings tab here and left click on Cortana and now Cortana has got some little tricky settings so use Cortana even when my device is locked we want to turn this off the reason why I want turn it off is because it's a service that's on and it could be restricting our performance so we're gonna go to safe search off unless you've got kids in your rely on Microsoft's safe search setting I just like to turn that off windows cloudsearch off my device history off and so we're really going through and make sure this notifications tabs turned off as well and we're going through again this is the whole idea of this power guide is to turn off a lot of these services that just don't get used and they are running in the background even if they're not running they may have a service that streamlined to another service and that's running - so speech make sure that's off and then we want to move down to the it's one of these ones here other options yeah play animations in Windows so on other options we want to make sure play animations in Windows is turned off and then again we going back to the settings tab into the gaming tab very controversial because game mode when I've tested this in the past this can make a difference in certain games on certain old hardware so if you have a really old computer you may wish to press the Windows key hold down the windows key press G and then turn on game mode for that particular game but I just like to turn it off because I usually record games with a capture card so or a shadow play within video so what we're gonna do here is turn this off and then I'm gonna go to game DVR make sure that's turned off as well and broadcasting that's turn off game mode that's turned off and true play make sure this setting is turned off it's a new service in Windows 10 for creators update there is an Xbox Live service so if you use the Xbox Live service you might want to turn this on but I use the Xbox Live service at all on my computer even when I play games or play games on Steam so I make sure this is turned off so that's the gaming tab there time and language settings set time automatically I like to turn this off because I'm confident in this as the time on my computer now if your times way off you manage to turn this on quickly and then turn it off again especially if you're an old computer and the CMOS battery is dead just you may wish to leave that on if you want it I just turn it off because I don't need it enough for this next one we can ignore this accounts tab we can left-click on apps and we're going to go through here and disable quite a few things because we can see here just like last time and every other fault creators or every other update from Windows 10 there's just a lot of crap that gets installed app install or uninstall sin and what is this candy crush thing I didn't even know Facebook I just use it on Google Chrome anyway feedback hub see you later get help I want to uninstall that but I'm you know I might need some help one day so Microsoft's making sure you can't understand that one they're like look you got to get help Brian my amen anyway get office I'm pretty sure I will be installing office on this computer anyway so so there's a lot of yeah there's a lot of just crap in here March of Empires war of Lords this is a new one that's just made its way in with the fall creators update 135 megabytes of space that is now freed up so onedrive I don't use onedrive if you need onedrive of course you can uninstall it against solar solitaire get rid of that minecraft look at all these new things are just permanently installing on here it's like okay I mean minecraft is a pretty good game for some people I just don't play it again if you need minecraft make sure you leave it on so you can just see I'm going through here individually just taking out everything print 3d if you've got a 3d printer and you need that service keep it on there so a lot of this is just again how I optimized Windows for me and a lot of people just love it they obviously must use a computer like I use it so if you do need some of these settings make sure you don't uninstall them just say hey for instance I like the weather setting I want to keep it on so there we go guys so that's all the apps uninstalled there you can go back through if you want replay the video see what I've done there but another thing too sometimes is they just don't understa Laswell sometimes you'll go back in this tab and they'll be there especially if you're on an older computer she managed to rego through that tab and make sure you've uninstalled all the ones that I've uninstalled and then offline maps delete all maps we can get rid of that don't need that automatically update maps in offline maps here turn that off we don't need that and then that should be really about it and that tab apps for websites again I don't need all this stuff because I'm gonna use Google Chrome so I like to turn it all off less hassle so now for this next one we're gonna left click on personalization just go down to taskbar and something I like to do on my computer is go to never so I never combined any of these buttons and then we move back we can go to Network and left click on network and Internet Wi-Fi so this computer will need Wi-Fi however I don't want any paid plans I don't want anything invasive so I just go through now and turn off a lot of the crap here because there is a lot of crap in this Wi-Fi settings especially like I don't need a VPN yet if if I do install a VPN it'll have its own separate app if I'm in airplane mode I want my Wi-Fi turned off and turn on remotely as well we want to turn this off so we don't want any remote access to our computer as well so leave proxy on as well make sure you don't turn that off and now moving over to phone we don't really need to do anything in that tab unless you've got a phone linked to your Windows 10 for creators update but we can move over to devices now left click on devices and we can go down to typing and there are a few things that I like to turn off here so I like to leave on autocorrect as I'm constantly misspelling words and I like these two settings but I had to turn off these other three settings here and then we move back we're on finally the last tab and this is system so we go to system here you can see I've made everything big arches for this tutorial 150% but we can ignore that go to notifications and actions turn off these three settings here I like - I don't need notifications about crap that I don't need so the next one here is power and sleep of course this is actually pretty important because we can go to additional left click additional power settings and we go to high-performance like to turn my computer on high performance now if you have a laptop you may wish to leave it on balanced I would recommend that but if you've got a desktop like me you don't mind juicing a bit of extra power having everything run smooth all the time not throttling down you can just go to change advanced power settings and turn hard disks off never I like to do this as I don't want my hard disk turning off I want them constantly spinning because I find them starting up and down is actually not good for them so I like to leave them always running so sleep as well hibernate I want to make sure these settings are disabled and we can go OK and also the background sorry the there should be a setting here with the slideshow I like to have that paused and we click apply and then moving along with the storage tab storage sense I like to keep this off this is a new service with Windows 10 for creators update I like to make sure that's turned off tablet mode I just turn that off I use desktop mode now if you're on a tablet you can use tablet mode or you can use the appropriate mode but I just like to don't ask them don't switch and I like to use desktop mode down to multitasking I like to turn that off though if you do multitask and you do need these drag settings and you're used to them then you can keep them on this is probably the most controversial setting of my optimization guy because I know people personally who love having this on I like to turn it off so you can trial that one just hotkey that one is a favorite but moving out of projecting this PC we can turn this off I don't have a projector but if you have a projector you may wish to leave it on and then share it across the shared experiences to turn this off this is another service that's running and we want to turn that off remote desktop I like to make sure this one is turned off as well so you made it through part one it's time to go on to part two so on the bottom left-hand corner here we can just left click that and type in control panel and then left click that and it should open up this but this kind of looks a little bit weird so we're gonna go up to this view by left click this and go small icons and now what we can see here the first one ease of access and I want you to left-click on this and untick these two boxes here always scan this section and always read this section aloud and see you later and then the next one we gotta go do is File Explorer options left like this click on View and so up top here general you tab and go down here in the show sync provider notifications we want to make sure this is turned off so uncheck that box there I think I already unchecked it before this tutorial hmm I cheated a little bit so make sure that's unchecked click apply and then we can move down to the next one which is called infrared so left click this and we can turn off all these settings here I don't use infrared technology with my computer if you do then you may wish to keep these settings on again it's all up to about to you with Windows optimization and what settings you use but I like to click apply it turn that off and then the next time we can move down to is the security tab and in here we're gonna find some little nitty gritties let's change security and maintenance settings and we want to left click this so turn on messages on or off this is again user account control I don't need this also with automatic maintenance I don't need this and I don't use it Windows Backup I don't use this the others work folders again so there's four services that we can uncheck that we don't need in the background and we don't need running anymore so we get rid of those troubleshooting our finds helpful and the other ones that I've left on I find it helpful so we can click OK and then we can go back to the last tab here which is make sure that's okay yeah I did ok that ok great so we can just go back to control panel home left click that and then the last tab here is system so left click system and we've got here four tabs on the left and what we want to do is left click on I usually start with advanced system settings and now once we left click that will pull up a tab here where we can go to performance settings and I like to uncheck the first three and then the three under that levon peak because it makes windows look fancy and then also slide open combo boxes of course if you're on a real big potato you manage to adjust for best performance that's up to you but I click apply click OK and then we want to move over to system protection here make sure this is turned off unless you need system protection though some people who love having their system protection on I find it's useless if my computer's crashed I got my daughter backed up and I'll just reinstall windows completely if something goes wrong remote assistance I like to go to advanced and turn this off plus okay allow remote assistant connections to this if you'd like to turn that off as well but if you are using a program like TeamViewer where you need to remotely access your desktop make sure this and the other remote desktop setting before are enabled so for me I don't use this can visit my main computer for video editing I'm always with it I don't need to have anyone access it from without from remotely so that is that tab down system so there's part to finish that was pretty quick part one was quite long but part three we're gonna be giving our computer a little bit of a spice up here so making things a little bit more optimized so this peoples tab here I don't like it right-click on it and you can just uncheck this show the people button so that'll bring that back to normal and then we can right click here unpin this from taskbar unbend this from taskbar and then we can also download google chrome install google chrome and then pin that to the taskbar so I'll have chrome and I'll have my folder here and also I will get VLC media player as well for playing music and movies that's my personal choice of two apps that I usually install when I first install Windows 10 our next thing we can do here is type in services.msc left click this and then we'll bring up these services here so this is gonna get a little bit tricky because we want to go on the startup tab I'll try and do without having to move myself so startup tab here we want to left-click that and make sure they're running so sorry the status tab so if we left click that left click that again we'll see now it's all listed in order of which is running so we want to make sure we go through now and even by a name okay it's a little bit a little bit annoying it's sort of it should you yeah so you're just going to click it with name and then start us until you get them in chronological order with their all the ones that are running so now what we can see here is delivery optimization and remember we talked about this earlier we can right click this left click properties and then we can disable this and stop it so that one's done we don't need that it's another service we don't need any more connected user experiences in telemetry this is one that's always been popping up every time you install an update it keeps coming back and it's gonna get keep getting disabled as well so we will play disable that and then of course there's one more as well distributed link tracking client I like to right-click this one and disable this one as well so there's three services I like to get rid of of course delivery optimization you will need to keep that on if you have any weird problems or if you need to install updates on your network and your own terrible internet even worse than what I've got so now the last thing I like to do is left-click here and then go to ms type in MS config and then left-click this system configuration and just go over to the boot tab here and so there should be a boot tab and we just want to left-click no GUI boot and click apply and then click exit without restart in the last little trick of course I like to do is type in CMD and then right click this run as administrator and because we're in high-performance mode we can then turn off our hibernation settings and this will free up so what we do is we type in power CFG /h and then type in off and we press enter and we should have some more SSD storage freed up or in this case SSD storage if you are on a laptop and you do have your balance profile with hibernation then don't do this command but let's roll off into a conclusion now anyway
