New Windows Tips I've Found
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 янв 2025
- These are new tips that I've found working as a tech. I'm doing my tips videos differently from now on. Rather then recycling tips that many other youtubers cover, I'm going to start building lists of tips that are all new to me that I find relevant to include in a video.

Not everyone knows about clicking on the letter in the start menu, but thanks to your tip, I am now one of the ones "in the know". Cool simple tip!
The CTRL key press in windows task manager is awesome.
Same here
Ima say that the "hold control to pause task refresh" is going to change my complete internal stress dialogue forever breh. How I never, EVER SAW THAT MENTIONED BY ANYONE BEFORE NOW? GG man.
Love your videos, man. I usually watch at work where I can't comment, but I'm home for the New Year holiday. Great work, as always. Oh, hey. Here's one for ya: How can we stop our VPNs from screwing with our WIFIs? Happy New Year from Osaka! Have a great 2024!
I got a good tip for ya to share, that most people don't know.. We all have accidently closed tabs, while online, that we need up.. Click control Up and letter T at the same time, will open last closed tab, keep clicking them and open more closed tabs..
Thank you for sharing.. All tips are useful.. Keep sharing them.. HAPPY NEW YEARS..
You need to hold Up too?? I've been doing Ctrl+Shift+T...
Add timestamps please.
Video starts at 02:58
@@nightwing369 it does? I thought it started at 00:00
You took the time to comment, you have the time to watch the video without timestamps.
@@Omaroka I think I understand your point. Having chapters or timestamps in the description would be nice for future reference though. You know this video has X tip, but forget where it was, and a timestamp would make it faster to go back to it
I literally time stamped an hour long video and it wasn't even mine i did it in the comments
the tip about the search results was great, hate the online search results
Rich, I love your Tips videos! Even if there is _only one_ that I don't know, I add it to my 'armoury'. Don't stop! Here's one I use a lot after coming across it by chance, which I have never seen mentioned in Tips vids. When using Word, Outlook etc and you wish to highlight (yellow) any portion, select the text and then use CTR + Alt + H and ba-boom. Job done.
I kinda like the tips videos. Almost every time< i see something I didn't know. The tip about clicking the letter in the start menu came from just such a video, so they are nearly always time well spent.
One thing I've noticed is you tend to scroll a lot. When faced with a long list of options, such as digging through regedit, you can open up a branch of the tree and start typing. Say you want to drop down to Windows (soothing) in regeit. Start typing Windows, and the selection will move down quickly. It saves a lot of typing. This works in folders and (some) drop-downs in web forms as well.
That's a terrible tip, it shows in your grammar. Cutting corners only makes you lazy in other regards, like misspelling and typing comments incorrectly on RUclips for people to read.
13:32 pro tip, the windows key + E opens file explorer no matter where in the taskbar it is.
Best channel I've visited in a while, your videos are clear, simple and straight to the point!
You could make a bunch of shorts for each tip.
And then a longer video for all of them together, and link the longer video in each of your shorts.
I really love your channel❤ Just recently found it. You are one of my favorites.
Thanks for another great tips video. As 'ancogaming' said below, 'I love these tips videos, but actually only from you.' I second, third and fourth that motion! But hey, don't worry about recycling tips - most of us probably haven't seen the originals, but even if we had, a retelling is always helpful. Or we can just skip it and go to the next, no BFD. Also. I like the way you present the tips. There's no 'click on the symbol' or 'you'll know what to do with this' stuff - you do the 'two-sense' thing brilliantly. Like you 'show and tell' so there's no confusion. Re tips videos, for me, you can make as many as you like (really!) and I'll always watch and listen. Keep it up, lots of us mightn't comment but we're here to learn and we love how you teach🙂
I do like the tips videos. I have been working with Windows since... well, all of them from 2.5. You never know when you are going to learn a new thing that you can use.
Thank you for these and happy new year. Can't have enough Windows tips videos these, considering how much room for improvement especially Windows 11 has. Sure there's gonna be some overlapping and redundant ones, but as long as there's some new ones, or even just some updates or optimization for previous tips, it's worth watching. Working in tech, including working on other people's PC's, you never know when such a tip might come in handy to fix an issue or a simple personal user grievance.
By now I actually curate and organize tips and tweaks in my own digital notebook for swift and central access.
Personally, I like tips videos that are timestamped or chaptered for a really fast glimpse of the contents to click through, but I understand you ideally want people to watch the whole video, and that's perfectly fine.
Keep going, you're awesome 👍
Several tips that I didn't know. Especially like the one about using Windows key plus a number to open that item in its order on the taskbar!
I like the windows tip videos and disabling the window search and USB caching were my favorite.
Love tip videos, I usually come away with something new. If not new, usually I get a reminder of one that I might have forgotten.
Thanks again Rich
Happy New Year Rich! Thanks for the Windows tips. I've also done computer repair as a sideline for over 25 years. I'm 77 years old and there is always something new to learn. I knew most of these tips but I found the one regarding Windows Defender interesting and I made the changes on that one. I am running Windows 10 22H2 and the USB policies on my machine are set at "Quick Removal" as the default setting. FYI.
Here is a tip I have not seen anyone comment on. The Windows Clock program is very useful. I pin it to my taskbar and use the Alarms feature to remind me to perform certain tasks, such as taking the herby out to the road or switching on my backup drive. I also keep the Calculator program pinned to the taskbar for quick access.
How do you use the alarm I m interested in that one . Thanks
@@pinoconteHello! Sure, go to the Start menu and down to Clock. Right click, select more, and pin to the taskbar. Click on the icon and when it opens, click on the three lines at the upper left corner. This will open up the options and then select "Alarm". You can set multiple alarms for things. I use it to remind me to take out the trash for pickup, take out the recycling the night before pickup, and turn on my external drive for backups. The computer must be left on for the alarm to work. I find it most useful. If you have any questions just reply and I will reply back.
Thanks so much 👍
Keep it up. I knew most of your tips but every now and then I cstch a new one. New format is good.
Keep making the videos, they are very useful to a lot of people.
The search tip using reg edit and the task bar shortcuts were great. Thank you!!
Loved the tip about safely removing the USB drive. Great tip. Thank you, as I'm always swapping thumb drives in & out.
Thank you for your GREAT tips! I am hooked on your videos. I also did not know about what used to be called "hot removal" which I warn all my friends to please use safely remove, of course they don't, and scramble the OS or drive, which, sigh, I get to fix up for them and hand them a tissue when I tell them the bad news. I am quickly becoming a "please set up my new windows 11 laptop" guy. Thanks again, keep 'em coming!!!
actually i love these type of vids and yours are amazing.
5:18 added tip. You'll notice some letters are dim and others are bright. The dim ones are ones that no apps are install that start with that letter or symbol. So this highlights only the letters that have apps.
"oh no not another tips video". Hey, I love tips videos, Your never too experienced to learn something new. Useful at best, things i already know at worse which in my books no harm done. Keep up the great work.
Who would click on the tips video if they didn't want to watch it?
damn, that Ctrl pause in taskmgr is AWESOME, i dont believe its not gonna make a try to take over either
Your tip videos are great, don't see why they get low views...! The alphabet tip was super useful! 👍
Yes I love this one too.
I'm enjoying the channel very much. Paul Thurrott from Windows Weekly has said on many times that you've been able to just pull out a USB without ejecting it ever since windows 7.
When i got to the services diabling section of your last video i found a few more that i could safely disable. I googled and found an article explaining which ones are safe to disable and it did a great job of explaining each one so I didnt accidentally disable something i did use.
Most of them were not running but there were a few that were running for no reason really.
I like this new format of the videos, but I'd suggest adding some brief graphics summary in the beginning of the video on what kinds of tips you'll talk about - it may drop interest first, but in the long run it'll keep engagement across multiple videos ;)
Windows + 1, +2, +3. I have many shortcuts on my taskbar but now with this tip. Makes my life lot easier. I love using Windows Short Keys
That Task Scheduler Tip was actually very useful, thanks for the information.
Rich, Thanks for another great tips video. Please keep them coming. I wouldn't care if some of them are as you say, "recycled." What may have been seen by you in the past may not apply to the rest of us. Also, a little redundancy is a good thing. As we get older we can use all the reminders we can get.
My favorite tip is the shortcup using the Windows key and the position number of the apps in the task bar. But they are all good tips. Thanks for what you do Rich.
I really like your tips videos!! I'm always finding new stuff, so thank you! Happy New Year's! cheers
I love these tips videos, but actually only from you. You're such a nice guy, in good spirit, and I can see how you genuinely just like to help us regular folks to use and configure our OS properly and collect some pretty useful knowledge along the way. I'm using MS operating systems since DOS 6.22, Windows since v3.11, started out with a Commodore C-64 back in the day, and I am learning something new and useful from you every time.
These tips aren't usually life-changing, but many are really nice to know, and some of them I like to use for bragging rights around my nerd-friends who haven't already watched your recent video. Fun was had, so thank you so much, and please keep up tips videos as a series whenever you feel like digging up some more. I and many more viewers love 'em!
Edit: Bonus Points for having Cyber Punk installed, easily one of the best games I've ever played, reminds me to try out the dlc, haha!
The tip about disabling USB cache is great for slow thumb drives. Obviously for fast external USB SSD drives that you usually don’t remove, consider enabling caching and also:
- Set fast external USB SSD drives to ‘Hard Drives’ in your Bios.
- Make sure that if your fast external USB SSD drives support USB 3.2 (or 3.2.1), you have them plugged into a USB 3.2 port.
- If your fast external USB SSD drives support USB 3.2, and you have them plugged into a USB 3.2 port, make sure that the drives are connected with a USB cable that supports high data throughout (at least 5Gbps).
- If you have multiple fast external USB SSD drives, consider combining some of them with Windows Storage Sense for even faster read/write speeds.
By using these methods you can create a blazing fast array of external USB SSD drives that typically exceed the read/write speeds of internal SATA SSD drives from just a few years ago.
Wait, what? You have external SSD's you don't remove? Why are they external then...?
@@TheGreyLineMatters My internal NVME drives are at capacity and internal SATA drives aren’t any faster than external USB 3.2 SSD drives.
Also, you can use PrimoCache on your rig to improve read/write speeds for USB and SSD drives.
Nice one, thanks!
Great video and I would encourage you to do more "Tips" videos. They are appreciated.
Please continue with the tips videos. This one was great.
I always love watching you, you handsome bearded bear! ❤ ❤ Also, you have a lot of knowledge to share with us. ❤ Thank you, Rich! May this be your best year yet! Happy New Year!
I actually LIKE tips videos. Please keep them coming!
Appreciated whether already known or not, keep up the good work. Thanks
Awesome tip video, yes to new format of your tip video, always learn something new. Thanks
Love tips videos, I m sure they help people who need them. Thanks
Some great tips. Some I didn’t even know. Thanks
Thanks for a terrific video. Learned a lot. I especially enjoyed learning about the last tip about restricting caching USB drives. Looking forward to seeing you more often. BTW, I didn't know about ANY of the tips before seeing this video. Hope the new year brings you much success and satisfaction.
Great tips, as always!
Hey Rich, I do like the new format without having part 1, 2 etc.
Have to add this, yes some of the tips we did know, but it's always nice to have a refresher as maybe you do a tip once and let's say a year or two later, you think how did I do that tip, Let say as an example Windows 10 users, will the USB drive pull out without ejecting.
I did not know about the clicking in start menu alphabet, that will make like a lot easier.
Happy New Year to Rich and the CyberCPU family.
Never knew about the start menu alphabet selection. Thanks.
I have had the task manager jumping around issue before and never knew about that pausing trick thanks. Usually when I just want to quickly close down a running task.
the Windows defender one helped me. thanks!
I must tell the Explorer AI to take look at all your wonderful videos. ;^)
Great video, love your content❤🎉
I like the new video format ;)
New subscriber here - I have watched two of your videos and found them to be very helpful. I recently purchased a miniPC with Windows 11 Pro on it. I have turned off a lot of the annoying privacy encroaching features and as a result, my computer seems to run much better (and use less RAM and swap). Thank you for that! I'm looking for tips on automation on Windows. If there are any useful tools that will help me save time, I'm interested in learning more about them. Also, what are your favorite Must-Have programs to install when working on a new PC? Thanks!
Holy crap, didn't know you cold pause the Task Manager UI. Good tip ^_^
Disabling websearch is awesome !!!!
Thx a million !!!
the ctrl on task manager will be useful
Great one! Congrats and go on!
Great video! Lots of tips that were new to me.
Thanks for the tips, I like the last tip you mentioned in this video. I'll try for all of my flash thumbdrives..........
Dude!
The Win+(#) in the taskbar...WHHAAATTT!!
Thanks, man!
Good video. I liked the windows+number tip the best. 😊😊
My favorite tip uses the same design as the start menu alphabet. The calendar in the bottom right has the same feature. Click the date, and you can flip between months, years, and decades.
I was blown away by the first one found it out recently while waiting for a file to copy, I was just playing with windows because who doesn't. Clicked start and hit a letter by mistake it popped up by no means I'm no beginner to it but it's these little features that don't get featured as much as the little features who knows maybe they might do something with the search bar or better yet the wallpapers.
the disk drive really helped out thank youuuu
Even though I'm an experienced user I didn't know about most of these very useful tips. Thank you!
ctrl pause task manager is fire
Nice video! One thing I don't understand about the UX design decisions is this: You had to go Apps in Settings, Installed Apps, search for "notepad" and there you click... aaaaagain... the three little dots.... and then you select Advanced Options and only after this waste of time you have the "Reset" option. Wouldn't it be a lot easier if they had Advanced Options with a submenu with Terminate | Reset | Repair and Other... options? Just asking.
Personally, I think Microshit lost the ability for logical reasoning after windows 7. If it makes sense, they seem to go out of their way to make it really cumbersome to do
I have subscribed to your channel and I love your wisdom on Tech i wanted to know if its worth purchasing a fix me stick if i already have Norton utilities installed thanks John
I checked the USB removal option on my Windows 10 machine and it states that 'Quick removal' is the default.
That AI bot there got kindof annoyed at you when you asked that one lol. This is a great channel though. I subscribed.
Thanx. Ctrl Task Manager and Quick removal enabled on my win7 already it seems.
Sir do you have a video on how to install Nvidia GPU drivers without installing Nvidia experience and other craps in PC.
Yes, it's an older video but I go over a program called NV clean install. It's a great program.
@@CyberCPU link to nv clean please.
@@ultraprimezlinks typically get marked as spam. Here's the link to my video. The link is in the description. It's an older video, make sure to get the latest version.
ruclips.net/video/zk_-xEIRSeI/видео.html
Why are you still using Task Manager and not Sysinternals Process Explorer? It's like Task Manager on steroids (and published by MS)
I always find such videos useful. But, I would recommend putting a text list in the video description to give some idea of what kind of tips we are about to see. There is a good chance that people might then see something of specific interest that will get them to dive into the video. Sadly, too many people have the attention span of a fruit fly, which for me would not matter but if you are earning the treasured, precious spondulicks, I guess the mass attention matters more.
Thanks for the material about NTLite. It's a powerful tool that allowed me to create my own version of Windows 11 installer that not require TPM, Secure Boot or 8th gen CPU, on OOBE asks only for disk partitioning and name for local account and applies most of my typical Windows configuration including group policy. I must admit that reaching this point took me ove 40 hours of testing on virtual machine, changing broken things and compiling ISO's.
Great tips! Thanks!
14:33 - I know first hand that this is an essential feature. I still eject my USB drives, before pulling them out, for an extra safety precaution.
I enjoyed the clear usb cache tip. I am tired allways having to exject it before removing.
RUclips tip: You can break your video into chapters so it makes the user experience more pleasant when navigating through a video.
Can't get enough of these "tips" videos. Windows is a pain in the ass! Your Notepad tip was too late for me. I deleted it to replace it with Notepad2. It's a program though (not an app) so I can't get it added to the right-click menu. I added it to the taskbar though. Accessible enough for me. Keep the tips coming. No doubt, something'll bugger up - likely tomorrow lol.
Great Tips Vid! Thanks!
I liked changing how search works (disabling internet searches). Didn't know about clicking on the letters in the Apps list, either.
In your next tips may you include how to do safe remote desktop connections
About the disk caching tip. As long as you don't rip your USB drive out of the socket right after saving a file, it's fine to do that - I've never had a problem with it. By the time it would have taken to click the menu to eject the drive, most likely the cache has already cleared. Anyway, as long as you haven't saved something to it within the last 10 seconds, you'll be fine.
I've had issues in the past. Granted my thumb drive gets plugged into multiple customer systems every day. But I have had my drive corrupted in the past and I literally never eject it properly. I typically have to rebuild it from scratch at least a couple times a year. However, the amount of time I save just pulling it out instead of ejecting it and considering the number of computers I do that with it's actually not that big a deal to me to rebuild it every once in awhile.
If memory serves me correctly, I haven't ejected a USB drive since Windows XP. I concur, if by the time you click to eject the drive, the cache is already cleared. Maybe it is possible to corrupt files by pulling it out without ejecting it first, but I have never had a problem with it.
Disabling Cortana also disables search suggestions and restricts searches to just the system. Using a local account, no tracking data that isn't strictly hardware config and software stability isn't sent home.
Tip videos are wonderful we need all the tips
I like the video, keep it up.🙌

Windows is very useful if you are a student a professor or you're doing something for a work-related project. Other than that Windows Operating Systems are nothing more than a very good data mining tool and spying tool. And when you learn this if you ever do and once you learn the ins and outs of Windows operating systems and about penetration testing / (IT) per say and the pros and cons about vulnerabilities and telemetry is the mission of these big tech companies and (IT) community who all work heavily in conjunction with one another to achieve very mission with various different means of mechanics involved.
Best tip for windoze. Run from actualizations (moments), better if we call them memento mori of course.
I need help mentor. I am trying to convert python code to an exe file, but it shows an error file that contains virus and is unable to complete the process. I tried all the methods and stuck. I have an anaconda environment and vscode setup. Since this is my first project I'm very disappointed. Kindly help in this regard.
I liked the Windows Defender tip I have implemented it straight away. I get rid of that search box on the taskbar. I like the Windows 10 tile pull-out that can be customised. In Windows 11 I would have to use a third-party program to get the tile pull out.
34.18% of the video content is not tips but just ads and other stuff. I wish it wouldnt be like this. Great and useful video
thanks mate I just found out about the letters ting ❤
