Thanks Brian this is just the sort of video that appeals to me as a semi savvy computer user, and I had forgotten that I could use the scannow and Check disk commands which I shall run again as my main laptop has got reasonably slower over the last few months. The memory scan I am used to using the Memtest version and while I am not concerned about the memory it would be worth a try sometime. I did recently go to a techie who showed me the trick of how to fix the problem of my laptop's network card driver not allowing me to connect to the internet I had forgotten and I am sure I originally got that from you - my bad eh??. Again mate many thanks for pointing these out - great stuff mate as I am used to seeing your videos for many years - almost every day actually since the days of Windows 7 after I came to live in Australia😀
That was useful. I'm a long time LInux user so my knowledge of Windows admin tools is way outdated. Occasionally am called upon to help a Windows user get out of a hole so this was very informative.
@@Britec09 I went to bed last night with the extended memory test running. when I woke up this morning, it says that the mem test is still at 7% done. I cancelled it. Now, the PC i s again running slow. I again ran the same tests and the PC is still slow. I am now running the basic mem test.
Great! 👍👏 LOVE these useful tips that I can do if needed with Windows own tools, i.e. without downloading any files and potentially risk getting virus etc. Thank you. 🙏
1:13 my pc is suddenly crashing and am afraid it's shutdown before it's completed + btw am not a native speaker but your accent is so clear to me to understand you THANKS ALOT❤
@Britec09 how a video on 2 major issues on Win11 Pro, #1 recycle bin no longer works "Don't move files to Recycle Bin. Remove Files Immediately when deleted is selected and grayed out." and the task bar calendar no longer comes up when you click on it Thank you!
With my Favorites menu (docked to the taskbar at the top of the screen with a third-party utility), I have recently lost default icons set for each link and clicking on any of them asks me to verify that I want to proceed. All of this happened after installing the latest Win 11 update. I'm now contemplating doing a clean reinstall by hand or going back to Win 10 because I don't trust the system's Restore or Reset options.
If you do the Windows reset as mentioned near the end, bear in mind all the de-bloating, privacy fixing etc you've done will be lost, I expect, and your system is in M$oft's pocket again & slowed down
Question for you: On my PC w/ i7 14700K, windows 11 installed a display driver for the built in Intel graphics but I have an NVidia GPU which has the latest driver from NVidia. The problem is every time I wake my PC from sleep it crashes with the bsod and power failure blah blah. Most recommend uninstalling the video driver. What should I do since there are two please? Oh, the mobo is MSI MPG Carbon WiFi II. Thanks Another thing, I cannot wake my PC from sleep with mouse movement or keypress. I hate this windows 11. I have a list probably two dozen lines long of what's wrong with it just for starters.
Why does Windows 11 suck so much? Has anyone developed a piece of software to convert lots of stuff back to Windows 10 thats workable and good? Why does Microsoft do this crap.
The only reason why I upgraded to windows 11 is because Microsoft keep pushing updates and turning off my ftp, I tryed everything but had no joy so up graded
To troubleshoot and resolve issues in Windows 11, administrators can run troubleshooters manually by following these steps: 1. Open Settings. 2. Click on System. 3. Click on Troubleshoot. 4. Click on Other troubleshooters. 5. Select the topic that best describes the problem and click the Run button. 6. Follow the on-screen directions to assist the troubleshooter in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
Hi Brian, I have Metabox Prime-S-P960RF laptop a week a go I do windows upgrade from 10 to 11 and notice that I completely missing ethernet adapter tried many tricks such re installed driver,update driver, network reset, Type netsh winsock reset and select Enter. Type netsh int ip reset and select Enter. Type ipconfig /release and select Enter. Type ipconfig /renew and select Enter. Type ipconfig /flushdns and select Enter. tried these commands also didn't work, if you have any other way to fix can you please advise? much appreciated thank you.

So we have to become "technicians" in order to TWEAK everything out that Microsoft has "hidden" in their OS? Even changing "Registry Keys" and other BS...I now understand why they were practically giving Microsoft Windows 11 away for 'FREE".. it's because there is no such thing as a Free lunch. Microsoft knows that most us have no choice but to use Windows at work or at school and just like any Good PUSHER the first taste is always free, but then once they get you "hooked" they can get their all of their investment back ten-fold with interest through direct marketing and adverts and by selling our private information to other marketers? Why not what a great deal they own us, and nobody reads the "fine print"... WOW!

Microsoft is like Bethesda. They ship out a half-assed excuse for a product, and it's up to the end user to fix their mess.
As always 👍 Brian. I remember using memtest with DOS 5.0
Good stuff!
I will stay with 10.
Still do this on Windows 10
Surprised the Trump hat doesn't make you stay on 7 and get hacked.
Just curious, why would you have corrupted system files, and wouldn’t these corrupted files prevent Windows from working correctly?
Thanks once more for some useful info. Much of it applies to Win-10 also I think
@Britec09 how a video on 2 major issues on Win11 Pro, #1 recycle bin no longer works "Don't move files to Recycle Bin. Remove Files Immediately when deleted is selected and grayed out." and the task bar calendar no longer comes up when you click on it

For another video spinrite 6.1 is now out. Perhaps compare cost versus value of your data being recovered

Hi Brian, any update on your windows tweaking script?
The easiest way to fix Windows 11 is go back to Windows 10.
well said i am on windows 10 my computer does not have tpm 2.0 so i am on windows 10 for as long as i have this computer.
How to go back to W10 ?
I fixed Windows 11 in one step by not installing it.
I fixed it by installing kubuntu.

memory basic test takes a hour on fast pc
Yeah, runs pretty fast
Should chkdsk be used on an SSD?
Yes, no problems at all.
Just don't defrag an ssd
So its damaged? And you promoted it so hard 😂

Step one: Do not get Windows 11.
Step one: Get scammed then.
@@Nick41622 people act like you cant run windows without updates but you can perfectly fine.
@@Nick41622???
@@Astrogator1 ???
I will use Windows 10 till no longer supported or maybe pay for updates later?
Why not
When i shutdown pc it comes up memory can’t be read would memory test fix that
I remember Buying an OEM system builders edition of Windows 7 Professional back in 2010. Cost me $149.99 USD then I got educated...
chkdsk must be 40+ years old ... programmer probably dead now lol. M$oft probably ripped it off from CP/M I expect
Goin bak to W7 for gud . . .
why would you not get windows 10 out of curiosity.

Yeah, and than you're not able to play most of your games anymore. For a gamer Linux is not an option.
