Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version
Lots of good stuff! Thank you! The 1st 1 looks like a cleaner Event Viewer. The 2nd 1 seems like a good way to automate the process instead of using command prompt every now & then. All nice things to know & the others are just new to me. Thanks!
Another thing you can do in Device Manager is delete the current driver, then simply restart your machine!!
What a lot of people DO NOT UNDERSTAND, is that Windows since Windows 95 to present keeps a spare copy of its drivers in the System32 file folder! This way if a driver becomes corrupt, at start up Windows will automatically look for the spare copy of it in System32, copy it and replace the driver you just deleted at start up!!! And often third party drivers will also install a copy of their "back up drivers" to this same file folder within the Windows directory itself, for this exact reason!
Another thing to add too is as long as the hardware the driver supports is still present, the driver will reinstall itself as normally at start up for the device requiring the driver!
I was at work one day and an engineer was complaining that he didn't have a replacement sound card for a computer he was working on to a co-worker of mine! And when I showed that, that the driver was corrupt in this same manner I just said above, the engineer looked at me and asked where I learned that?! The thing is I have never went to college, I don't have a single degree in anything, BUT I have been working with and on computers since I was 15 years old, which was back in 1981!!! And the engineer looked at me stunned when I explained the same thing I just said above as though I was lying to him about it!!! Even though he couldn't explain to anybody else that I "fixed the problem" he was having with the computer!!
I just wanted to mention that if you plug a phone (usually Android) into a PC and it cannot install a driver, go to device manager under USB and browse for a new driver called MTP USB Device. I have done this so many times and it just works!
Your videos are great! I used to be a real batch file nerd back in the bad old days of DOS. I use two on my PCs now, just one-liners with the shutdown.exe command. One gives me a one-click shutdown, the other a one-click restart. Keep it up!
This channel is just brilliant! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it and thanks for being here!
You are a true guru! Great tips, great delivery. I wish I could show what I know as well as you do.
Thank you for your videos, this has been needed for years!
Thank you Liron, for making these Windows tips easy to understand and follow. I've been watching your channel for about a year, and my laptop runs so much better now!
Wow, so well done! Thanks for posting, man! Very helpful.
Good refresher for me thanks for sharing. Some new things picked up as well.
Your videos are so helpful, Thank you!!
Awesome video Thank you so much Liron Segev. I now can run that.
Man I love your stuff! Thanks.
Thanks! I've known most of these for years, but ...lost track of how to access them in the new Win10/11 generation. Awesome! 👍😎
right click the start button for quick and handy access to things.
Dude your channel is awesome! It really is! So far I have found trustworthy solid information from ya.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realise there was so much included with the calculator. Cheers
much love and respect man!! even if i tthink i know what I'm doing...its great having someone who does show me!
appreciate you being here!
Thanks for the tips mate. Legend 👍
Amazing one Liron. I'll definitely use these 🙂
Awesome 🎉
Great Channel and fully underrated. Great Job!
Much appreciated!
Worked , thanks a lot!
9:19 I love the Windows calculator. It does scientific problems and hexadecimal and bitwise math, and hex to dec conversation, and more. Very useful.
Yes, I didn't know about the currency converter. Better than typing "convert x to y" in Chrome or OANDA.
@@taiping194 not anymore
they removed us dollars
Awesome so glad I’ve subscribed to your channel🤙
Great tips ! I just learned new things with this video.
You have no idea how grateful i am for this amazing video .........Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much Liron .
thank YOU for being here
Thanks! Your video content is the safest and most useful
Great stuff. Only issue I had was that if you have a pre-built pc from Dell, HP,, etc you should use the update tool that is specific for Dell and HP to update your drivers as many times the stock Windows drivers will mess up your pc and it won't work / BSODs due to slight tweaks the mfg does for the hardware to run properly. I always use the mfg update tool first and then I run widows update tool.
Great video. Thanks!
I feel ashamed for having a really hard time in Math, looking for a cheap and/or free online calculator when all along the solution was literally pre installed in Windows lol
I feel your shame, I SUCK at math anymore. I went and got old and proceeded to forget just about everything. But I was never really any good in math so no major loss there. I have a calculator button on my keyboard that launches the Windows calculator, I use it almost daily. If you don't have a button, you can always pin it to the task bar for quick and easy launch. Cheers 🍻
Thanks this was useful video and I use it regularly now
Unbelievable info, Thank very much
Great video mate you might want to check the code on the description again it might need a space after "ipconfig" (before the slash) Thankyou hoping im not wrong. Awesome video
wow thanks for this tips man help me a lot discovering new stuff.
👍...Good stuff...and a good refresher course. Thanks...JRZ
Very educational !
thank you so much for the link of this video, I fixed the problem of windows defender that kept crashing, you're a lifesaver
Nice little script thanks!
You're welcome!
Don't forget the Windows onscreen keyboard. If you are concerned about accessing, say, your bank account password, or when you need to give out your credit card number to an online store, you can use the Windows onscreen keyboard, just in case you have a key logger on your computer.
A few other shortcuts:
To use the Trade Mark symbol (™), hold down the Alt key, while using the numeric keypad on the left of your keyboard, to punch in 0153, then release the Alt key and the ™ will appear.
To use the cents symbol (¢), hold down the ALT key and punch in 0162 on the numeric key pad.
To use the copyright symbol (©), hold down the Alt and punch in 0169.
to use the registered trademark symbol (®), hold down the ALT key and punch in 0174.
To use the degree symbol (°), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0176.
To use the paragraph symbol (¶), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0182.
To use the zero power symbol (º), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0186.
To use the one power symbol (¹), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0185.
To use the two power symbol (²), hold down the ALT key and punch in 0178.
To use the three power symbol (³), hold down the ALT key and punch in 0179.
To use the the one fourth fraction (¼), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0188.
To use the one half fraction symbol (½), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0189.
To use the three fourths fraction symbol (¾), hold down the Alt key and punch in 0190.
You can always bring up the Character Map by going to the Search box on the bottom left of the screen, and typing in Character Map, and that will bring up a large variety of characters that you can use.
Wow. Thank you ❤️
Yes, you should make videos about these commands!
on it
Your videos are awesome. Thank you very much
Glad you like them!
Your videos are great! Thanks
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Many thanks
Everything on this video deserves a full length one (well, maybe not for the calculator. But all the rest does). Thank you very much.
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Amazing. Thank you sir.
Most welcome!
This was such a helpful video, thank you for making it.
Appreciate you being here 🔥
The Cntrl + shift + escape method of bringing up task manager is invaluable for POS technicians when it comes to working on point of sale thin client computers, that run Windows; This is because of the hidden minimal desktop environment on that type of equipment.
Great Work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
You’re always coming through with great tips!
I try- and thanks for being here!
@@LironSegev its very suspect that AMD CPU'S get a threat from the SPECTRE V2 and AMD'S fix will reduce performance on all CPU'S right before new launch of next gen. CPU'S this fall . betting it wont effect those . its april and windows is saying you can disable it that there is no known cases of this attack . but you have to edit the registry but dont give you the edit this all seems crazy they took a 1/3 rd your CPU performance and tell you , that its safe for now to disable it. but you gotta do it yourself
Thank you sir
Wow! Fantastic stuff here.
Many thanks!
You know after all these years learning ways to help with PC maintenance, it's nice to be reminded about the things we learned right off the bat. I completely forgot about 2 items on todays list and had myself a very real "Doh" moment. Thank you very much kind sir!
The calculator tip was great. I had no idea you could do those things.
Glad it was helpful!
Search - a truly useful tool, searches for apps as well as files e.g. Win 11 Task Manager - click Search and type Task ... Task Manger should autocomplete allowing you to press Enter and load Task Manager.
Great video as usual. I'd like to see how to move files from one drive to another without making them inoperable. My C drive is filling up but there's room of the d and E drives
look into the robocopy command.
Great content
Thanks, it's a helpful video.
You're welcome!
Thank You Liron - My maschine has 25GB RAm, 1 TB SSD and stiil it was slowing down to a XT. Now I its is faster again. You're a star
Everyone always says to go to Task Manager/Startup and disable programs you don't want to run. However, everyone FAILS to mention how you go about deciding which program to stop or delete from the startup. Some are critical to OS operation and others or not, just that the publisher prefers for them in the startup, some we don't know what they do or if we use them at all.
So, it would be nice if someone (like a guru) would at the very least explain how they would approach this and what method they would use. Thank you.

i disabled everything & i have had no problems

discord never worked on startup on my computer, after installing it for the 5th time i discovered a startup process called update that i always disable was responsible for discord
@@devforfun5618 I can't get discord to not start at startup.
More information each video I should have known in the dark ages.Thanks so much and keep them coming,I am nearly able to be a techy to my grandchildren who I am now surprising with fixes and ideas,although I do have to make notes in a real pencil and paper.
More to come!
Pencil and paper aka analog storage!
Great advice as usual. The refreshing of the internet, does it affect any downloads that are happening?
From what I understand, the only drivers that are available for update in the Device Manager are those that are in the Windows Update catalog. There are tons of drivers that are not available in the Windows update catalog. Many OEMs will create their own driver update software to address this shortcoming.
Specifically, using that method will not update all drivers on a Dell computer. Dell has a program called Dell Command Update which will update Dell drivers and firmware.
I upgraded my 2009 HP Pavilion to run Windows 11 recently (it came with Vista). Some HP (many) drivers not available in versions that work on Windows 11. Nor on Windows Update. I used an app by IOBit "DriverBooster" worked like a charm 🙂
Hello please make more videos like this or the second part of this kind of useful tips and tricks. Thank you
Thank you for tNice tutorials very clear and concise tutorial. Look forward to more videos from u
Do you keep your computer running 24/7? I ask this because you set the network reset for 1am or am I missing something. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video. Your channel rocks.
Don't you? I do and I gues a lot of others do too, only a small % of people turn their PC off when they've 'finished with it' and then turn it back on when they want to use it again.
This is not wirth doing as when you turn it back on again, theres lots of processes it goes through before you actually get control of it again, such as checking for updates and any program set to run at start will go online to check for updates too. Best to loeave it on all the time.
Liron, I just discovered the tool "Quick access" really useful for IT on the network computers
Totally - I pin my frequently used folders so I can quickly jump into them. Great call and appreciate you being here!
edge browser has a feature where you can type a problem or scan a problem and it'll show you the answer with steps
As a student ,it is really helpful.
ooo nice!
Yes, Windows 11 did remove easy access to the task manager with a right click on the task bar. So, after I found it, I pinned it to my task bar. I use it frequently. All the years I've been using a PC, I never knew about the CNTL-SHFT-ESC. Thank you, Also, I knew about the event log(which can be difficult to find what you need), but I never used the Reliability Report. That is awesome. I found that I had a pgm that was crashing on a daily basis and I wasn't aware that it was even running in the background. Something I need to look into.
CTRL + SHIFT + ESC*
Thumbs up and subscribed!
Appreciate you being here 🔥
At around 7:10 did you say "Is this oke working okay"?
Great video as always, thanks
LOL...I have been in IT Industry for like 22'ish years, and I had no idea that the Calculator had other functions like Celsius to Fahrenheit or Pounds to Kilogram...or ANY of the Unit Conversation abilities. Geesh, I always just used a quick Google Online search tool for that sort of stuff, and all this time, it was already built into Windows Calculator :/
Great video, thanks for the tips....Even a veteran can still learn something new.
You are the one I wait for every week, thank you!
You're the best!
surprisingly useful video ;)
Glad to hear that!
I prefer using Z-Cron for setting up my custom tasks. Great tips though, thanks for the info and for sure would like to know what other tasks and maint you do to keep your system in top performance!
Please make another video for the other tasks, thanks
Please make some more commands videos!
Awesome thanks for letting me see
No problem
Great information
Is everything for windows 11 I know you said it was in windows in some tips just making sure Thank you
I have clicked on "up date drivers" hundreds of times and it has NEVER found a new driver and always says " your current driver is up to date". Very helpful video as usual, thanks for helping us.
so what I do is go to the manufacturer site and manually download the driver. I then tell it to update the driver from there.
By the way, it could be that your drivers are actually up to date as some drivers get updated with your Windows updates (I stand to be corrected on that but I recall they do just can't find it right now)
Most awesome. Any thoughts on keyboard shortcuts? CTRL S CTRL Z CTRL V etc?
Always HELPFULL tips, THANKS!!! I have a PLAYLIST just for your computer maintenance for laptop win. 10! 😁
Any tips on how to prevent programs from adding keyboard layouts on start-up?
Quick Assist before May 2022 update was great for IT remote assistance. After May 2022 this program if first done set up thru MS Store, could still be useful.
Nice tutorial. I have been having content issues with my hmdi connected speaker and subwoofer. No soft is coming through, still coming out of
Snipping Tool. Very useful. It's been around for ages but so many don't even know about it.
3:33 Task scheduler. Hello, Please make more videos about the task scheduler and more commands.
Also, Ex. Clear windows temp, %temp%, prefetch files, and browsing data, disk cleanup, file explorer history etc via task scheduler command
Thank you.
Thanks for the helpful video Liron! I think I want to try your network hygiene scheduled task. If I copy your example exactly and set it to run at 1:00 AM does my laptop need to be on or will creating the task also mean that my laptop will be "wakened" and the task will run at 1:00AM?
thank you
thanks for being here!
Nice well explained. sir is there any tendency bots got hyper active? Thank you for the knowledge
Character Map - for getting things that are not on your keyboard like ≠
Power Shell, Winget - updating non-windows applications (like you can do in linux)
Quick Assist (windows 11)
Nice! Appreciate you being here 🔥
For windows 11 you got to rightclick on the start menu to get to the task manager
Hooray! Wndows gets an Automator (in the GUI), a feature in Mac OS since 10.4 in 2005!
This is a nifty channel.
Glad you think so 😜🔥
you forgot the snipit tool built in. even has a setting to change the print screen button to activate it
Last week, I solved a problem that I thought was due to a USB driver. I checked properties of all of the USB drivers (8 of them) but they all said they were "working properly". I tried to update them, using both Search and Browse, but they all said they were at the latest level. I didn't know what to do after that - it was preventing me from updating it, though I believed, from the symptoms, that it must be corrupted. After a lot of searching the web, I found a guy who said "Right click it and uninstall it, then the next time you boot, the boot process will reinstall it". After I did that, my problem was solved.
That was the best video ever, just the info I needed but didn’t know I needed. Your the best mate thank you !
Glad it helped
One particular shortcut to always keep in mind would be Ctrl + Win +Shift + B. All it does is stops and restarts your graphics driver. Quite handy if your seeing glitches every now and then
Mohamad Aslam Abu Bakar
That must be a ;Dark' secret
One thing also fro you to keep in mind - is that there is a difference in
meaning between >Your< which refers to 'Ownership -
an example would be > Your education and knowledge of the English language is lacking <
Because you are too lazy to read books and educate yourself.
Now you know in which context to apply YOUR and YOU ARE.
So do not make that same error again - You will no longer have any further excuse.
Aisha R.A. was very well educated - and so you should be following her example.
@@andrew_koala2974 not only that but you made many mistakes yourself while tryign to be a smart assl. noitice i dont are :)
Please explain the IP configuration batch. Why do this? What does it do?
I wish you could do a video on how to get back the task manager like you are showing. The new task manager in Windows 11 Beta Insider Build OS 22598.100 is a pain in the you know what. Windows has gone completely crazy making all these changes to things like the Explorer Ribbon, The Right Click Option and the Task Manager, Task Bar and that is just a few.
Can you show a quick video of that .Bat file running so we know what it looks like when running?
yup - 3:25
