3:15 Shell:Startup does the job ;)
3:46 Open Run, type "msconfig", go to Services tab, select "Hide all Microsoft services", sort the items based on Status (Running or Stopped), uncheck services you don't find useful running as startup.

Some of these I do routinely, and some I don't. It was a great reminder video. I was doing all my updates as I watched this. Good tips!
I already knew most of these but still, pretty useful for those who aren't experienced in tech!
I don't have a vacuum cleaner since I don't really have a garden but I completely forgot about cleaning my monitor, it just makes everything look so much better when you clean it, thanks for the tip.
I never noticed that your channel have gotten a lot of subs. 2.5 million, wow!

Startup program folder:
Windows + R to open Run
shell:startup

shell:common startup
I came here to comment this.
there is an application that lists every program that automatically starts with Windows
Forgot the name, but it is a part of the Sysinternals suite
Or just type "startup" in the address bar of any Explorer.exe window

@@casualchip571 ....A drastic change
@@SwagLordOP It might make me sound stupid to say this but what does drastic mean?
@@casualchip571 Something that is drastic is violent, forceful, and extreme. If you are saving for a car and you only have $50, you need to make a drastic change to your money accumulation scheme.
👆 Looked up the exact meaning on Google
@@SwagLordOP Oh, thank you 👍
Thio: Make sure you have backups
Me who doesn't have money for the amount of external storage I need and can't use cloud backup because of my horrendous upload speed: Well, f***
It's all about prioritization. Anyone who uses a computer instead of paper for most things in their life would benefit from a few GBs of backup, which is usually free now anyway.
@@trogdorstrngbd But those few GBs will take an eternity to upload with my internet. I can't leave my PC running for that long.
@@cannedbeverage7687 It doesn't have to be done all at once. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc. all sync in the background. Free USB sticks these days could even be enough. All I'm saying is that if _some_ of the data has any real importance to you, there's no excuse not to make some sort of backup. But there is definitely no reason to go full Linus and store petabytes of data just to maybe use 0.01% of it again in the future.
@@trogdorstrngbd So if I understand what you're saying, I can put a file to upload on Google Drive and it'll keep uploading even after I turn off my PC? Also, on what planet do they give out free USB flash drives?
@@cannedbeverage7687 Well no, it can't upload while your PC is off, but it will do whatever it can in the background while you're using the computer. Since it's not downloading, it's rare for most people to notice any effect from this on their internet browsing. USB sticks are given out as part of promotional events sometimes, especially at universities and higher-end malls. But regardless you can get a 128 GB drive for $20 on Amazon.
EDIT: Also, I understand that people have different unique situations, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't leave your PC on overnight sometimes and have it fall asleep when done.
It's a good idea to regularly clean the extra RAM build up in your downloads folder.
I reinstall my OS for monthly maintenance. I did this for every device I have, like a phone and PC. Bought external 2TB to back up important files, and upload all my work and personal photo to Gdrive and Google Photos.
My devices are pretty clean and neat after every time I did this.
startup programs can also be controlled via "msconfig" command on the run menu. I was really hoping you'd include that for those who doesn't know about it
Great Sir, Your are the only person very active during this difficult period!

Drive store: How many drives do you want?
Thio: Yessir
thank you for your content
Important note: Driver updates in Optional updates section in Windows Update may not be the latest. At least for me, they are all old (I think these optional ones are just for the fallback ones). Make sure that your driver is older than optional one before installing it
3:30 thanks joe this tip actually helped me to run a script as soon as my pc start otherwise i always started it myself and and just wanted it would do auto start ,but I was too lazy to search on google and you told me ❤️❤️ 😀😀thanks again
What did the script do
@@SpaceStrike that script remaps my pg up and pg dn key to scroll up and scroll down, (auto hotkey software) on my laptop as i don't have mouse😂, but i have to manually run that script that do this as there is no direct software that do this, so it helps me to scroll in laptop without scroll wheel
@@Ansh_Soni oh you should really get a mouse! That is good thinking though, but even a 5$ mouse would help a lot! Rather than it being it script, if your keyboard has Macros, you could use those
Great tips, I would caution people when using canned air inside the case to take a Q-tip and and mobilize the fan blades so they will not spin, it is easy to over Rev the fan blades and it just takes a second and Ruin the fan motor, the voice of experience.
Thanks man!
Really useful, I'm a linux guy so I only know basic Windows maintenance, didn't even knew that programs could autostart in so many ways.
I've been vacuuming out my PCs every 6 months for years with no problems. I do take two precautions: 1. I hold onto the bare metal of the case with my hand to make sure I'm grounded, and (2) I vacuum the fans and the heat sinks, but I don't touch anything on the circuit boards.
At 7:35 I use an electric airbed pump (bought 2 at thrift store for 5 bucks) to blow the dust out. I bring the case outside and blow it out. I also use a toothbrush/brush if there is dust caked on the fans or heatsink.
I once took all my keys off my keyboard, put them into a plastic bag, then filled the bag up with water and dish liquid. I shook the keys up in the bag as well to sort of mix it, then drained the bag of water, making sure to keep the keys inside the bag. After that, I kept filling the bag with water and diluting the dish liquid until there was no more dish liquid in the bag. I then let the keys dry overnight. Not sure if this was smart or not, but it worked for me.
The better way to check for start-up services is to use 'System Configuration' (search for it in start). It shows a whole list of services and has a simple checkbox to hide Microsoft services which are usually the important ones.
Nice tips, I already knew some of them, but I think the others were really useful and important.
Did not know about Ctrl Shift Esc. Very cool tip
The new channel is looking very useful, hit the bell instantly!
For cleaning your monitor / screens, I recommend a KD cloth. It's a special brand of cloth you can buy that requires no cleaning solution, just a bit of water, and it gets monitors and screens completely clean and streak-free. It's basically a giant microfiber cloth.
Subscribed to your new channel Thiojoe! I am excited about it because I love the way you explain things.
Great suggestions, but a similar set of maintenance guidelines for laptop users would be much appreciated. Sure, the windows stuff will be the same, but not necessarily all of the physical stuff.
Good video! Thanks the information!
Your channel is very helpful. Thanks
Wow i needed these 😀
You could also use a leaf blower to blow out your PC, and be sure to do it outside. Doing it indoors will just blow the dust around in the house.
An easy way to access the startup folder in Windows 10 is pressing the Windows Key and R keys together and that'll bring up the run window, then all you type is shell:startup and press enter.
Are you the guy I am watching about free things that are not actually free almost 5 years ago? Haha. It's good to see you make tips that are actually realistic now. Good Job!

Thanks for the tips 👍
As an added bonus, you can use a manual pomp (like those used in the garden) instead of a canned air. Infinite aer, curtesy of your arms 😁
Thanks for the tips ThioJoe!
that keyboard tip was something i never thought even in my dreams
thanks joe
Those Optional Driver updates are there for if you have driver issues, those are mostly outdated ones and can even break stuff.
google backup and sync is a life saver.
Very good.
You can also startup programs with the scheduler.
Thank you for the tips
Thanks
3:07 That's a complicated way to get to that folder. Just type "shell:startup" in the run box.
Thank you! The video was amazing and helpful.😄
For my monitor I don’t even use a chemical cleaner. I just take a clean microfibre rag, get one corner damp, wipe It down, and dry it with the dry side. Works great. EDIT: 10:24 it’s actually not air in those cans! It’s a refrigerant Check out Technology Connections Video on it.
I have a metro-vac blower for years better than canned air love it best 50.00 a have spent and it has a long cord
What would happen if Thio makes a programming tutorial.
it would suck
@@JTKroll12 why
To get into the folder of startup programs you can also do Windows+R then type "shell:startup" and enter
My trash laptop is still trash with after using ur Tips bit I am sure they work.
What a nice setup! :)
Great tips por monthly/anual mantainance! Thanks!!!
Best regards from Tabasco, México [Land of the Olmecs!]
I was wondering why this video only had 2 views, then I checked the date. xD Happy Halloween, Joe.
Great video for beginners of windows 10 like my lazy friends
Thank You
There is also the run container in the registry where programs can be started when booting up.
Any RUclipsr: Uploads a video
Me: Quick quick think of something funny
For the Startup folder you can type "shell:startup" in the Run window (Win + R) (doesn't work if typing in the start menu)
3:05 You can also do Win + R and put in 'shell:startup'
Man I remember the days when the Startup folder was in the Start Menu back in the days of Windows 95, 98, and 2000. When did Microsoft remove it from the Start Menu?
i saw rainmeter in the startup things so you probably use it and it would be pretty cool if you shared your setup or made a whole video about rainmeter because most of your viewers probably use windows and are not scared about customization
Love your channel
Should run disk cleanup and defragmenter every so often as well. Also wouldn't hurt to do a error check to make sure the hdd is healthy.
Type in shell:startup in run window
Good to know

Hey how about buy an external keyboard, piece of painters tape for camera, maybe a cport to ethernet adaptor or at least another 7 tips for those of us who honestly have little to no idea about what should be running in the background of our computer.
Something I noticed a few years back was if I put at least one layer of yellow type J-Cloth over all the intake vents I get almost no dust at all inside my desktop computer. After a year I check and not a speck of dust so that maybe something you might want to recommend as well. It does not promote ventilation problems and the PC still runs at normal temps and gets plenty of airflows. Works for me. That's of course if your computer is a desktop and does not otherwise have any air intake filters.
As for laptops, I don't know how that would work as I have never owned a laptop, tablet, or even an iToy type phone. No one needs the internet on a 6-inch screen Sheesh! I was wondering what kind of juice to use on the TV screen for cleaning, I just use water and a microfiber cloth about once a year. Thought about using vinegar but changed my mind. That works great on eyeglasses but I don't know what the hell my TV screen is made of, it sure as hell is not typical glass. So I don't trust anything but water and even that is very sparingly used. Just dampness and a wipe down. So far that's worked fine. THX ThioJoe your tips are always very useful and even entertaining.
Bonus Maintenance Tip: stand up any external speakers that may have gotten knocked over
Thanks for a great video and thanks for sharing these tips I'm new to your channel and i have hit your red button and rang the bell.
3:00
Win + R
Type: shell:startup
I don't have an automatic backup, because I like to live *dangerously*
Thiojo; disabling at startup, I thought you could bring that program up if you decide you want to use it at that particular time, and it will go back into the Don't startup again, when your finished. Also tell the people to make sure that the Microsoft Protection is also turned on, along with any 3rd party.. Yes make sure you Unplug the Computer as power is still being used by the main Board..
As for GPU drivers, if you aren't running the latest gen cards look for recommended rather than the latest update.
Isn’t this the guy that used to make joke tutorials 😂
Great tips! love your camera your video always seem to be in super HD.
Joe....I've had my IBM model M keyboard since 1998 and never disabled it for cleaning. There are so many scary things trapped in there. Hold me please
nice vid mate
A leaf blower works better than a spray can of compressed air, but use it outside.
Good Tips information video Bro😊😊
Typing shell:startup also takes you to the startup folder. However I think these will show up as well in task manager anyways
Nobody:
Thio: cleaning your keyboard and screen will make your pc run smoother.
I like how the spray dissapers
9:27 never done these but I have blown away the dust inside with the vacuum and I found many schools of dust and took those off in my keyboard R.I.P 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Muchas gracias my friend.
Thanks for the advise. Regarding statup programs, I would also review the following registry keys:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
last keyboard I cleaned....
Me: take the keys off
Me: wash the keys
Me: clean the board
Me: dry the keys
Me: buy a new keyboard, the one I was cleaning never came back together.
Take a picture next time
If you don't have an actual keyboard removal tool, I've found that a flathead screwdriver works pretty well. Better than using a pen cap or, god forbid, getting them off using your fingers, anyway!
11:10 IMPORTANT: ThioJoe assumes you have a mechanical keyboard with removable keys. I DO NOT recommend using a key puller or any other method to remove your keys without checking your manual first. If you know that you have a mechanical keyboard then you should be OK, but MEMBRANE KEYBOARDS and LAPTOP KEYBOARDS should not be disassembled. You are far more likely to break something and/or lose parts since those keyboards are not designed to handle cleaning.
The best you can do with membrane and/or butterfly switch keyboards is stand them up so their narrow face rests on a table, then blast the crap out of them with canned air, starting at the top and working your way down. Anything that won't easily fit through the gaps between the keys will land on the bottom, fall flat, and then it should come right on out.
Love your vibes
You may also want to go into the C: drive and run the disk defrag and disk cleanup tools.
3:20 Alternatively, you can open Run (Win+R) and type shell:startup to enter the C:\User\Appdata...... Folder
One hint: I use a foot-operated air-mattress pump (the dome kind) to blow the dust out. Not only does it do a good job getting rid of the dust-bunnies, but I also get a good cardio workout.
What is the reason for this comment/reply/blah blah etc…. ThioJoe is my number one nerd so be careful with the next comment please and thank you so much
@@timanderson5074 "be careful with the next comment"
I don't take kindly to not-so-veiled threats.
The reason I posted this, is that it is a technique I use to clear out the dust-bunnies in my computer. Somehow, this put your panties in a bunch. I have no control over what triggers it takes to make you offended. Perhaps, professional help is in order to control your anger-management issues.
Joe, why are most gaming monitors with matte coatings? when glossy has better image quality because matte messes up with how light leaves the panel, I know glossy has a major flaw of reflections, but I find it ironic that devices which we use outside like phones, tablets etc are glossy but gaming monitors in my man cave need to be matte. Even tv's in living rooms which are more prone to lighting are glossy.
