WARNING SURROUNDING DEVICE ENCRYPTION: As someone who works in computer repair, I need to express how important it is to also have periodic backups for your data if you enable encryption. With the exception of data-recovery specialists, most computer repair shops CAN NOT access your drives which are encrypted if the system is either dead or if the OS is too corrupt to allow encryption removal from the Windows Recovery tool and If Bitlocker is enabled and you don't have the key, you may as well kiss your data goodbye.

Besides, this video is a tips video on how to maintain your computer. Something every parent should teach their kids if they have that knowledge. Just like parents should teach their children how to cook, how to clean the house, and even do the taxes so that when children leave the house, they have a solid foundation to stand on. And teaching children simple tech stuff will help the parents in the long run. Not every 'child' is a lazy so-and-so. However, my Dad can't tell his screwdriver bit from another. We both bought the same storage cabinet. I put it up within an hour and he did it like 3 times and spent the day putting it together.

Just a quick note on your last point sometimes not updating immediately is the smartest thing you can do. Some updates or patches can break another. The other reason to possibly hold off is there might be a undiscovered problem that might require another patch to fix why update to a vulnerable patch when the one you currently has is just fine? Your best bet is to wait a week or two to see if anyone discovered any issues with it and if not then do the update.

With Windows 7 I actually took the time to look up details on each individual update package before installing it, and then I would allow only one package to install at a time so that I could easily verify which, if any, update screwed things up and roll it back. The unfortunate downside to this was that installing updates 1 at a time instead of say 10 at a time slowed down the "check for updates" process such that it started taking several hours just to determine which updates were available. I figure it must have been slowly analyzing each update log.

Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Every person on Earth belongs to one of these groups: 1) Regularly backing up their data. 2) Haven't lost their data. Yet I moved to the first group about a year ago. Good thing, I accidentally had copy of most of my school an programming files on my flash drive.

Excellent discussion!! I actually thought shut down was cleaning up buffers and completely allowing a total new restart. Thanks for clearing a lot of concerns up!

Once you have an SSD as the boot drive, I recommend disabling fast startup. The difference in boot times is just a few seconds and it saves the the potential problems fast startup causes. Once you shut down, you know you will start up fresh when next you are ready to use the computer. Also eliminates problems that comes from Windows locking the drive on shutdown.

Two more I would have included is not restarting windows every once in a while and not using Sleep function. I have found Sleep to significantly slow down the machine and occasionally not properly wake, causing applications to error out.

For an old-school power user, the ability to remove everything from the start menu was a game changer! As I used the run command for everything, menus and shortcuts are useless to me. when you actually know all the shortcuts and run commands, the mouse really takes a back seat, I actually find it mildly annoying any time I actually have to touch it outside of gaming.

Thanks alot very important information learnt.

Thank you for that very useful info!

Regarding your last point: I was relaxing on a weekend away, but had my laptop with me for an online event. Unfortunately, Windows decided to update the moment I booted it up, offering me no chance to delay that update. Fortunately, I booted in time for the 2.5 hour update procedure to finish, just in time for me to get into the online event, but it would be much more helpful if Windows told us how large an update is and how long it takes to install. I've already had updates fail for lack of space (why didn't the system check if there was sufficient space first?)

@declan_youtube

2 жыл бұрын

How (at least in my experience) Windows schedules its updates is during inactive times (like 2:00 am), then it will prompt you for an update and after a few unaccepted prompts it will just update. As for why didn't Windows check if there was enough space, There are multiple factors that would make this difficult. The size of the drive Windows is stored in, the other files in that drive. I'm not saying that it'd be impossible, but not really worth it due to the fact not many people would have use to know how large an update is
