    Update 2023: These are still the settings I would recommend changing when setting up a new Windows 10 PC. For your convenience, *Time Stamps* are included in the video description... Thanks for watching!

    This really is excellent. I don't like all the privacy things set as they were, but being able to change things is good. Your piece de resistance was showing me how to change the app background from light to dark. I use a Dell 3014 monitor and the expanse of white light was too much. Thanks very much. Very grateful.

    Good common sense advice. Very helpful. I'm retired now from doing this for customers in my own business, and I've used Macs myself since forever, so when friends and family still ask me for help - currently with Windows 10 which I've had no reason to even look at otherwise - videos like this are invaluable to bring me quickly up to speed with where everything is now and anything new. My sincere thanks.

  • @korishan
    @korishan 5 лет назад +3

    These are some really nice basic settings that need to be changed. I agree with most of these. The one setting is about auto-loading programs after restart. Firstly, a user should make sure everything is shut down anyways upon a restart. However, I do like having my email auto-load if there was a restart, planned or otherwise.
    The biggest issue with this setting is that it's really "2" settings in one. 1) Auto sign-in to automatically "finish" setting up device. 2) Reopen apps after restart
    With #1, if this option is turned off and the system needs to do more than 1 restart or login to finish updates, it won't. So even if it restarts in the middle of night when you are sleeping, you could come back to a system that takes 30mins or longer to "finish" updates after you login.
    I wish MS would actually separate these two options

    Change the Advanced Update settings update channel to the business setting for 'feature updates' (aka 'this is where we use the public to bug test new versions). This will delay twice yearly version updates by at least a couple of months while all the bugs are ironed out. You can't do this in the home version sadly.
    Alternatively go back to Windows 7 for a quiet life and none of this crap- sadly you may be out of luck on some newer laptops with drivers though.

    Most of these I already knew. However, I did learn some new and useful tips. I often disagree with peoples suggested settings. There were no suggestions here that I disagreed with. Most of his recommendations I already had set but did tweak a few I was not aware of. The biggest problem I have with windows 10 is the automatic update and reboot.
    I have a home control systems that is running under windows 10. Occasionally it doesn't restart correctly due to not being shutdown properly. There is nothing nice about coming home at night and the lights don't turn on like they are suppose to because the home control computer was restarted. Not so bad on other PC's but a major pain on the home control system. I have actually been thinking about switching it to Linux just to avoid that problem.

Fast forward to now and I finally broke down and ordered a laptop and I was dreading Win10. Your videos helped me to see and understand that there is still a lot of what I loved about Win7 in this monster Microsoft has created and made it a lot easier to make the changes I needed to in order to make Win10 something I can live with!
