@@hassangammudi3212 You can use a blank password. Personally, I create a password and then create a 4 character pin via Windows Hello. Pins are terrific as it can be simple, but also very powerful. For instance, in the newest Chrome, if you use Chrome, you can encrypt your saved passwords and use the Windows Hello Pin to access your encrypted passwords. Most people don't realize zero passwords can leave you vulnerable should a hacker get remote access via a link or a compromised website. Using Windows Hello with a password and pin can help you lock down vital areas of your system so that even if someone gets access to your desktop, they still can't get to your most critical data.
I'm in Desktop support myself and always looking for something I overlooked or forgot. I just wanted to say I believe you did an incredible job on this. Thank you for putting it out there.
Seemingly simple fixes but incredibly useful. Most of these changes helped eliminated the small nuisances I have lived with on my Windows 10 and 11 machines for the last 5+ years. The fact that this was just ~6 minutes long made it easy to engage in this video and get a ton of helpful information in a short amount of time. Just subscribed to this channel. Thanks Leila!
@@LeilaGharani could you tell me how to get my hp laptop screen moved back to the left on windows 11,, as a 64 year old I'm illiterate on this stuff lol
By the way, Microsoft Family Safety does not work with a local account, so you should use other parental control apps for your kids (K9, Time Boss, Net Nanny...)
This was surprisingly helpful. Usually these types of videos suggest things that are very obvious or things that would cause more problems than they solve. Your tips are clear, direct, and most of all, useful. Plus bonus points for not having a long boring intro but actually getting to the point.
bruh she suggested turning off the ability to install applications. How does that not cause more problems than it solves. If you need that feature on, get a chromebook.
Legendary video! I have 1 more tip other than all the useful ones you mentioned. Tip: Apps that were installed from the Microsoft Store run in the background unnecessarily. You can modify those apps by going into Settings > Apps > Choose The App > Modify > Turn off running in background. This has helped me a lot!!
Definitely one of the best Windows 11 Tutorials I've seen, clearly demonstrated and spoken at a reasonable speed, rather than gabbled at 100 mph like many others, even we Silver Surfers can understand. Many Thanks! 👏👏
This was such useful and WELL PRESENTED information! No excess verbiage - direct, simple, and to the point! I hate it when these self help presenters rattle on and on before getting to the point. You're an excellent teacher! If you're not a professor, you should be! Thank you!
Very helpful. I don't generally subscribe to stuff, but I just got a new computer with windows 11 and there's all sorts of of annoying stuff very different from what I'm used to. Very easy to follow and provided me with good general familiarity of the settings, so very different from older computers. Windows has a lot of "improvements" that are most definitely NOT improvements - and some that are, but just require the learning and changing. Big brother is becoming increasingly invasive however, under the illusion of "this will help you."
You can also uninstall many of the bloatware apps that Microsoft either installed automatically or added links to install, to free up space, declutter your menus and improve overall performance a little bit. Right-clicking the icon should give an option to uninstall rather than tracking each folder down. There are also little tweaks that allow you to fix the annoying spaced out icons and to fix the right-click menu debacle introduced in Win 11. There are many guides on YT for these.
The only comment I have is the Block Apps: Selecting allow from MS Store only prevents say installing manufacturers driver updates. A better option is the 'Anywhere, but warn before installing an app that's not from the MS Store. Thanks.
Great job. Very different from other win11 guides, with an emphasis on privacy and reducing some of the autiomatic clutter that comes with a new OS. Thus, a nice complementary guide. Thanks.
I Watched many videos of yours and I (a senior citizen) learned a lot and applied suggestions. you are a genius baby. God has blessed you. Wish you all the best. Thank you
Excellent video. This saved me a ton of time as I was trying to sort through all of these settings myself. You pointed out a number that I had missed. Thanks!
Not Only Should You Switch To A Local Account For Privacy But In My Experience From Synicing My Account On Multiple Computers Whatever App Or Icon I Put On My Laptop Goes To My Computer And Other Way Around So Yea Use A Local Account
Awesome video, Leila! One of the most annoying things I'm grappling with is all of the save-to-OneDrive defaults. I want almost everything saved locally and I certainly don’t want OneDrive as my default save location every time that I do anything.
wow what an educative tutorial. as a deaf teacher it has help me understand everything you have explained because l read with my eyes and understand with my mind and heart rather than voice chatting without capitation. Thanks a lot. for more tutorial kindly share with me via youtube because l have subscribed it.
Great Tips. I am very savvy with Windows. Came as far back as IBM Punch Cards & Olivetti Computers running MSDos at AT&T Canada in 1985, so I've had every Windows OS since the beginning. Now retired & back into the music biz working on my two Windows 11 Laptops doing digital music recordings here in my studio. Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your video and sending it all my friends. You've saved me much of what I wanted to mention to everyone. I'll say this Leila, "You're One Smart Computer Cookie". I'm now watching your other videos so that I can brush up on some apps I now need in my music biz. Thank you.
There are a lot of YT videos with tips to work-around the Microsoft log-in in order to complete set-up with a new computer. I didn't know about this and I did it your way through setting/accounts/my info/ sign in with local account instead. I did this and it converted my MS/Administrator account to a Local/Administrator account. Now I can log in without internet. But do you think there are strong reasons for doing this work-around when setting up a new computer when they ask you to log into your MS account before even getting to the desktop?
Thank you! You just saved me a lot of time trying to shut off and change these features and settings that have been annoying me! Awesome video! Thanks again. Have a wonderful day. 😉
Thank you for this very helpful video! Please tell me how to "move" the toolbar so it is vertical on the left side of my horizontal screen? It is annoying and not logical to waste my important horizontal desktop space with the toolbar. It is important that I can access the toolbar, without it taking up prime desktop space.
I couldn't really focus, I got lost in your voice, honestly I would love to hear you reading a book, there is something in your voice that gives me goosebumps!
VERY useful, thank you. A sign of the times is that this video was posted in Jan 2022 and here I am in May 2023 using Windows 11 Home, 22H2 and Microsoft have changed SO many of the steps to get where you indicate! Change for change's sake or do they actually want to make things more difficult for us?
Thank you for showing us those settings and how to turn them off! I had already googled some of them, because they were SO annoying, but now I got even more turned off. I hate it when an OS or app is trying to "help" me. Once again: Thanks!
Yes, very helpful video! Thanks! But, if your child has local account in Windows 11 - internal parental control does not work... Why? Should I use others parental controls Time Boss, Net Nanny or others?
Brilliant video. Really helpful. Makes sense of everything that Microsoft thinks you want or want to do but actually don't! Just need to get Firefox on the system and I'm done!
Hi I enjoyed you video. I have been building and reapairing Computers since Dos and 8088 days (1970s). I am new to Winows 11. So this was great help. I just bought a new PC in August and it came with Win 11. I like my Linux Mint better I think (on another machine). I did bulid IBM mainframes then I moved up to Testing them. I would like to say I really enjoyed my visit to Osterriech. I stayed at the Palace Guest House Hotel in Wien. Your pastries were awsome. It was beautiful and rich in history. My memories will last forever. Hope I did not bore you. My mothers grandparents were from leipzig Germany so I wanted to see it and the chance to go to Germany & Austria came and I took it. Thank you again
Great suggestions. Thank you. On a separate note, I’ve not been able to use power query in Excel (Microsoft 365) since upgrading to Windows 11. Microsoft customer service has advised to wait for the next available windows update. Have you had this difficulty? Suggestions? Thank you for what you do! You have proven to be a great resource for me.
There is the number problem with Microsoft Costumer Service rather than supporting through actual addressing your issue, they often say "sorry you are experiencing this problem, we are aware of this problem and will be addressing it in future updates." Or they take the lazy way out and suggest recovery options to reinstall windows... Thank you Ms. Gharani for sharing your expertise.
Based upon an earlier video, I have not made the switch to W-11 ... leaving it to later in the year (maybe). Nonetheless, I enjoyed listening to Leila as to how she thinks about her settings ... very helpful ... and made me realize I need to be more knowledgeable about my own settings. I realize W-10 is on its way out the door, but a similar video for W-10 would be helpful too. But as always ... thank you ... thank you .... thank you ... always a wealth of information.
You made the best decision ever, you definitely saved a lot of time that would be wasted fixing things that MS should already have fixed before releasing the Win 11. For instance my Taskbar keeps freezing even after trying all the available options to fix it. It just keeps coming back( a simple reboot fixes it but it's an extra reboot I don't want to do).
For Personalization, that Personalization is no longer under Settings but I believe what works is right-clicking that area by the Power icon and it'll take you to those settings. Seems quite a bit has changed. (Was gifted a Win11 laptop today!)
Clear, concise, useful, no wasted frames. (and, of course, nice to look at. :o) Thanks for putting this together, I made a host of changes as I watched.
Thanks, good suggestions. However, MS should have made all these options opt-in instead of opt-out. Well I will leave all that to the system admins at work and just use Linux at home. ;)
I've seen a lot of people complain that Windows 11 feels too intuitive but Windows 11 being less user friendly than windows 10 is definitely something new I've seen, just learn how to use a computer MF..... If you think windows 11 is hard then you're going to have a tough time learning anything.
This is a good demo video of new features in Windows 11, but many people who have tried Windows 11 have experienced less security in exchange for new features that they will not use or need and prefer security and privacy over more features that are less important than security, privacy and user ownership of the software rather than Microsoft ownership of the software and imposing their unauthorized updates, unauthorized changes in settings and hoarding users data and band width, which is why a low-end Linux Chromebook has a faster internet speed performance than a high-end Lenovo Thinkpad X2 Carbon using Windows.
Great video! How do you turn off the news & interest? I hate to open my computer to news. It's so distracting. I'd like to just open my computer and a tab without being bombarded with news and banners!
Very useful video BUT it would be very helpful if you NEVER say "click on THIS" when referenung an action. I had to rewind several times to figure out the name of the item you clicked on.
The ideal solution would be to not install Windows at all or stay on Windows 10 or even better switch back to Windows. 7. Windows 11 is an Operating system that aims to steal your privacy and sell your user data. It is a lot more terrible than Windows 10 ever was. Personally, I would recommend stopping using Windows at all and starting using Linux. I myself have stopped using Windows all together and Switch to Linux. I enjoy using Linux much more now that I don't feel like someone is watching everything I do. and don't worry about the Operating system, want to know everything there is to know about me. Windows is no longer just an operating system, it is a full on Scam to exploit people who have become so accustomed to their ways that they can't see it. I have been using Windows all my life since MS-DOS and i'm Done. I don't take kindly to companies trying to exploit me. And Windows 10 was already the edge of what I liked and Windows 11 is just over the edge and we don't care, we take everything and control everything you can and can't do on Your Operating system. I beg you, if you're gonna stay on Windows, stay, on Windows 10 or one of the older versions. Or do like me say Fuck Microsoft and switch to Linux. don’t let them control your life when you have the Freedom to choose.
The video is really helpful with lots of setting that are need to be changed for smooth running of the computer. I am facing one problem . I am using Dell laptop with windows 11 home edition. Every time when the windows gets updated the hard disk space is getting reduced and unable to install new software. Please suggest what to do? Thanks in advance.
*Fianlly I got windows 11 from ikeyzone* I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
Thank you for the information on this video. Right now we cannot get a pdf out of word and email it. I'm a Mac guy but my wife is an HP lady. But I'll learn.
1) I am using Google Chrome by default but I frequently get the following messages to download Microsoft Edge. Which one is better and what should I do? 2) Mine is a HP laptop with Windows 10 but I get frequent message to download Window 11 . Is it safe to download and can I go for it? Kindly reply.
Leila, I like your videos and respect your knowledge and judgement. What is your opinion on backups and what are your recommendations? Thank You. Richard
Hi there Leila, I have just stumbled across your channel and I am really enjoying your clear and concise advice. Could you please tell me how to stop Microsoft edge from appearing on my screen every time I use my computer. My default is Firefox. Many thanks. Greg.
Many thanks, using my laptop for Photoshop so I want to use as much as possible of it resources for it only. ....and glad you are in Austria!...I'm moving there :)
All great information. Incidentally, I log in to my computer using a local account, and I can still keep my data synced through Microsoft OneDrive and through other avenues like Dropbox and Google Drive. The main issue I have with using my Microsoft account to log into my computer is that it allows Microsoft to "manage" my computer. Even my Google Chrome browser behaved differently when I tried logging in using my MS account. There was a message stating that my computer was being managed by a third party, and I had limited functionality. That alone was more than enough to make me change that setting.
My Win 7 desktop recently was hit by lightning, so I was forced to get a new computer (I MISS Win7 alot) and while I have stumbled into a couple of the things you showed in this video, Most I would never have found without you. Now, If I can just get rid of that Game Pass promotion junk that keeps showing up, and find a functional file manager that isn't crippled. (did I say I MISS Win 7?) and... get rid of that Office 365 mobile prompt that shows up at sign in (I have Office 2021 Pro installed) Thank you!
Hello dear I'm new in your channel. Your content helps me alot with my laptop. Can I ask you a question if you don't mind? I bought an HP laptop windows 10, Two years ago. And one day, there's a thing pop up on my screen saying, I can UPGRADE my windows from 10 to windows 11 and so I did! After I did that, my computer became very slow is my action so bad into my laptop? Your new follower in HONG KONG

Personally, I would recommend stopping using Windows at all and starting using Linux. I myself have stopped using Windows all together and Switch to Linux. I enjoy using Linux much more now that I don't feel like someone is watching everything I do. and don't worry about the Operating system, want to know everything there is to know about me. Windows is no longer just an operating system, it is a full on Scam to exploit people who have become so accustomed to their ways that they can't see it. I have been using Windows all my life since MS-DOS and i'm Done. I don't take kindly to companies trying to exploit me. And Windows 10 was already the edge of what I liked and Windows 11 is just over the edge and we don't care, we take everything and control everything you can and can't do on Your Operating system. I beg you, if you're gonna stay on Windows, stay, on Windows 10 or one of the older versions. Or do like me say Fuck Microsoft and switch to Linux. don’t let them control your life when you have the Freedom to choose.
The first thing you should change is to change back to 10.
F🤬🤬k no.
Why ?
@@hbc51110 is near its end with Windows 11 out, and Windows 12 coming pretty soon, so just upgrade. It's worth the spyware.
I hated 10!
Not 10, change back to Windows 7. Windows 10 is nothing but bloatware.
The video is really helpful with lots of setting that are need to be changed for smooth running of the computer.
I am facing one problem . I am using Dell laptop with windows 11 home edition. Every time when the windows gets updated the hard disk space is getting reduced and unable to install new software.
Please suggest what to do? Thanks in advance.
you shouldn't download win 11 at all yet.
Windows 11 is a smoking pile of crap.
@@chuckinhouston9952nah i love it
hello from trev in the UK thank you so much for this help i needed it as well thank you so much all the best from trev
Wow! This is one of the best videos regarding entry level users of Windows!
Glad you think so!
THANK YOU, LEILA. THIS REVIEW IS AWESOME. I JUST SUBSCRIBED. OH, AND YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT. God Bless. Enjoy your YOUTH!
*Fianlly I got windows 11 from ikeyzone*
I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
Thank you for the information…… have a great week 🇺🇸
Thank you. 11 was driving me nuts but now these ads are turned off it's much better.

Excellent video, thank you Leila.
Hi there Leila,
I have just stumbled across your channel and I am really enjoying your clear and concise advice. Could you please tell me how to stop Microsoft edge from appearing on my screen every time I use my computer. My default is Firefox.
Many thanks.
Greg.
Excellent review!
Beauty and brains, great instructor too!!!
Hi thank you for your videos!! can you please add tips to avoid AD pop up that are revealed in a new web and inside the web that i am into?
Thank you :)
i wish after some major update, these settings wont turn it self on again.
This is the best tutorial I've seen. Thank you for the step by step instructions!
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks, using my laptop for Photoshop so I want to use as much as possible of it resources for it only. ....and glad you are in Austria!...I'm moving there :)
Kudos to you, great job!! Probably can't agree with the Block Apps settings though
Thank you! Very helpful. I bought a PC recently after only having Apple devices for the last eleven years.
All great information.
Incidentally, I log in to my computer using a local account, and I can still keep my data synced through Microsoft OneDrive and through other avenues like Dropbox and Google Drive.
The main issue I have with using my Microsoft account to log into my computer is that it allows Microsoft to "manage" my computer. Even my Google Chrome browser behaved differently when I tried logging in using my MS account. There was a message stating that my computer was being managed by a third party, and I had limited functionality. That alone was more than enough to make me change that setting.
Another thing to switch off is Device Encryption, I have seen many cases, where the key hasnt been recorded at all
My Win 7 desktop recently was hit by lightning, so I was forced to get a new computer (I MISS Win7 alot) and while I have stumbled into a couple of the things you showed in this video, Most I would never have found without you. Now, If I can just get rid of that Game Pass promotion junk that keeps showing up, and find a functional file manager that isn't crippled. (did I say I MISS Win 7?) and... get rid of that Office 365 mobile prompt that shows up at sign in (I have Office 2021 Pro installed) Thank you!
they removed 'turn off ads'on my new lenovo 5 desktop. in privacy or notifications, might want to update this video, thanks

Hello dear I'm new in your channel. Your content helps me alot with my laptop. Can I ask you a question if you don't mind? I bought an HP laptop windows 10, Two years ago. And one day, there's a thing pop up on my screen saying, I can UPGRADE my windows from 10 to windows 11 and so I did! After I did that, my computer became very slow is my action so bad into my laptop? Your new follower in HONG KONG
