hi there guys welcome back today we're
[11]
going to be showing you how to speed up
[13]
your windows 10.
[14]
this is a complete step-by-step tutorial
[16]
which will help you to boost your
[17]
windows 10 pc
[18]
and don't worry it can be applied to any
[20]
windows 10 pcs regardless of whatever
[22]
hardware configurations you have
[25]
so without further ado let's get started
[27]
number one
[28]
enable storage sense to save space
[31]
storage sense is a great feature that
[33]
will help you to make more space on your
[35]
computer
[35]
it can achieve this by automatically
[38]
getting rid of files you don't need
[39]
anymore
[40]
like the temporary files and the
[42]
contents in your recycle bin
[44]
it can even make more rooms by deleting
[46]
the previous version of your windows 10
[47]
files
[48]
it is definitely well to be included in
[50]
the performance category
[52]
because the more space you clean the
[54]
less laggy your windows 10 will become
[56]
or we can say it will become more
[58]
responsive
[59]
anyway the storage sense option is
[61]
disabled on your windows 10 by default
[64]
so let me show you how to enable it go
[66]
to your windows settings as always press
[68]
windows key plus i on your keyboard
[71]
now head over and open the first menu
[73]
which is system
[74]
now navigate to storage submenu and
[77]
simply enable storage sense
[79]
option now windows 10 will be
[81]
automatically cleaning your unwanted
[83]
files
[84]
so you can have that peace of mind
[86]
number two startup apps
[88]
a standard program is a program or
[90]
application that runs automatically
[92]
after your system has booted up normally
[95]
previously was managed from your task
[97]
manager
[98]
and it's still available there but on
[100]
windows 10 it's much easier than before
[103]
head over to your windows settings and
[105]
for that you can press windows key plus
[107]
i on your keyboard
[108]
otherwise you can go to the start menu
[110]
and click on this gear icon
[112]
anyway once you're here head over to the
[114]
apps menu
[115]
now navigate to the startup submenu and
[118]
there you will see
[118]
all the apps or programs which are
[120]
running in the background every time you
[122]
have booted up your system
[124]
background apps are useful only if you
[126]
use them on a regular basis
[128]
while it's running in the background
[129]
minimize your system tray
[131]
it can appear faster when you need them
[134]
compared to the other apps or programs
[136]
in that case
[137]
or we can say this way background apps
[139]
are already launched and waiting for
[141]
your call
[142]
but beware it is also using your
[143]
valuable system resources
[146]
like your ram processing power etc
[149]
which will bring a great negative impact
[151]
on your windows performance
[153]
so by disabling them from automatic
[155]
startup
[156]
you can free up a lot of your system
[158]
resources
[159]
means that you can get more performance
[161]
for your other application
[162]
in need also it will cause faster boot
[165]
apps
[165]
so let's go ahead and disable every app
[168]
or program
[169]
which you rally are not at all using i
[171]
hope you done that so let's jump to
[173]
another tweak
[174]
number three reduce recycle bin limit
[177]
don't even think it's a simple thing
[179]
recycle bin plays a huge part in your
[182]
system stability
[183]
because it's using the storage of your
[185]
system drive
[186]
or in which dry your windows 10 was
[188]
installed in
[189]
normally recycle bin default would be
[191]
100 gigs
[193]
and think if you're a person who never
[195]
clears your recycle bin
[197]
all of your deleted files will kept in
[199]
your recycle bin
[200]
until it reaches 100 gigs and all these
[203]
100 gigs of storage is using from your
[205]
system drive
[206]
you know what if your system drive is
[208]
full or kind of full
[209]
your windows will become laggy or
[211]
unresponsive
[213]
it's a fact if you want you can check
[215]
that yourself
[216]
so this is another way to always keep
[218]
your c drive
[219]
unexhausted i hope you understand the
[221]
point of limiting the data
[223]
that your recycle bin can store so let
[226]
me show you how to do that
[227]
go to recycle bin desktop icon right
[231]
click on it
[231]
now choose properties now go to
[234]
customize size
[235]
as you can see it is written in mb's so
[238]
let's dial in 10
[240]
000 or 15 000 would set your recycle bin
[243]
limit to 10 or 15 gigs
[246]
now click apply and you're done number
[249]
four
[249]
better power plan you may not heard
[251]
about the term power plan in windows
[253]
before
[254]
unless you're an advanced user so let me
[256]
tell you a short brief about the power
[258]
plant before changing it to a new one
[261]
so that you can understand how much of a
[262]
performance jump
[264]
you'll get just by changing your power
[266]
plan on your windows 10 pc
[268]
normally we have three different power
[270]
plants available in the windows by
[272]
default
[273]
and those are balanced high performance
[275]
and power saver power plants
[278]
the default power plant choice of the
[280]
windows would be the balanced option
[282]
so if you check for the currently
[283]
enabled power plan on your control panel
[286]
it would be the balanced option for a
[288]
quick boost you can quickly choose the
[290]
high performance power plan
[291]
it may also hidden under the additional
[293]
plans tab so be sure to check there as
[295]
well
[296]
but wait we have a more powerful power
[298]
plan hidden inside the windows 10 itself
[301]
so let me show you how to enable that
[303]
one and i'm pretty sure that you don't
[306]
need more explanation about the other
[308]
three power plants
[309]
they are pretty much self-explanatory so
[311]
let's focus on the fourth one
[313]
the hidden power plan the ultimate power
[316]
plant option
[318]
it is the most powerful power plant
[320]
amongst the available power plant
[322]
as well as it is a great choice if you
[324]
are really serious about your computer
[326]
hardware performance
[327]
especially if you are the person who
[329]
does some heavy workloads or hardcore
[331]
gaming on the system
[333]
i only recommend this for the power
[334]
users and you won't gonna find it
[336]
until we do a little trick so let's go
[339]
ahead and unveil the hidden monster
[341]
the ultimate power mod go to your start
[343]
button
[344]
right click on it and it will bring this
[346]
shot menu
[347]
now go ahead and pick this windows
[349]
powershell admin option
[351]
it is important to pick the powershell
[353]
with admin rights
[354]
so keep that in mind now type in this
[357]
indie command line to the powershell
[359]
and press enter on your keyboard the
[361]
powershell command line will be
[363]
available on your video description
[365]
for an easier copy paste so be sure to
[367]
check there as well
[369]
now you can see it says something
[370]
something then ultimate performance in
[372]
here
[373]
that means we are successfully unlocked
[376]
our new and powerful power plan
[378]
in windows 10 so let's head over to the
[380]
power option settings
[382]
in the control panel just go to start
[384]
menu search box and type in
[386]
choose a power plan now click it and
[389]
here we are in the control panel
[391]
power option window as you can see here
[394]
we have the new and unlocked power plan
[396]
the ultimate performance option so
[398]
quickly choose it as your new default
[401]
and we haven't done yet we have to show
[403]
you one more thing about your new power
[405]
plan
[406]
so it could be even more useful to you
[408]
it is nothing about boosting the
[410]
performance further
[411]
but you control it furthermore as the
[413]
way you please
[415]
go ahead and click on the change plan
[416]
settings for the ultimate performance
[418]
power plan
[419]
and from here choose change advance
[421]
power settings
[423]
which will open this small window and
[425]
this whole list of options will be
[426]
revealed to you
[427]
so that you can make furthermore
[429]
adjustments your new power plan
[431]
for example you can control the
[432]
processor power where you can dial in
[435]
the preferred performance for your
[436]
processor
[437]
in between its maximum or minimum state
[440]
and you can go to the power button and
[442]
lit option
[443]
and change your computer power buttons
[445]
behavior you can program it to do
[447]
any of these following tasks and
[449]
whenever you press them
[451]
it will act accordingly play around with
[453]
these settings and you might find more
[455]
useful things
[456]
number five bloatware removal bloatware
[459]
simply means unwanted software or
[461]
application
[462]
included by the manufacturer when you
[464]
buy a new computer
[466]
and usually this happens when you buy
[468]
laptops and in most cases they will only
[470]
available for a trial period
[472]
so many of them are rarely useful or
[474]
total waste
[475]
and the most disappointing fact is that
[477]
it will also take a part of your
[479]
valuable storage as well
[481]
so let's head over and get rid of every
[483]
unwanted bloatware
[484]
so go to settings by pressing windows
[486]
key plus i on your keyboard
[488]

apps and features submenu
[493]
now find the bloatware once you've found
[495]
it click uninstall
[497]
and click it again and there we go now
[499]
do this to every other bloatware and
[501]
you're done
[502]
number six disable user account control
[505]
windows 2 always want to warn you
[507]
whenever you install a program or change
[509]
important settings by popping a dialog
[512]
box and make you click ok to continue
[515]
do you ever think why even bother by
[517]
warning you when you already know what
[519]
you're doing
[520]
great question just disable user account
[522]
control to end this endless annoying
[524]
pop-up dialog boxes
[526]

[555]
make things
[556]
seems a little bit faster so only do if
[558]
you want

number 7 windows updates i know it

have improved and changed dramatically
[682]
it can boot up pretty much fast as well
[685]
but when it comes to shutdown or restart
[687]
your modern windows 10 computer will
[689]
take time but if you have used by any
[691]
chance the windows pc
[693]
two decades ago it can shut down as soon
[696]
as you hit its power button
[698]
it is because nowadays windows have to
[700]
wait a long time before exiting
[702]
any programs you have running and
[704]
sometimes windows 10 even stops in
[706]
waiting for you
[707]
until you force the application to close
[709]
it could be even a notepad which you
[711]
have written something and forget to
[713]
save and exit
[714]
so let me show you how to speed up your
[716]
windows 10 shutdown time real quick

[742]
it is an amount of time in milliseconds
[745]
which your windows will wait to kill an
[746]
unresponsive service
[748]
we are not recommending to set the value
[750]
anywhere below 2000
[752]
because it might cause issues now

now on the same location create another
[770]
string value and name it hung app
[772]
