I actually won't go for enhanced search… The experience has been negative. It mentions high CPU usage and all… And it's very true. It exhausts cpu and also consumes ram causes many things to slow down. Love the other suggestions! Thank you
I already know to do these things but im glad you put this video out there, almost everybody owns a pc these days however most people dont truly know how to properly run their OS.
I am a PC Lead Systems Engineer and MS MVP, and did not know until after watching your video that MS had switched on 'Online Speech Recognition' (they must have done it on an update). Thank you!
Just subscribed and am enjoying your excellent videos. Microsoft is just relentless in data mining its users now. I want to add another quick tip: In Privacy Settings turn OFF all Voice Activation settings (it keeps your microphone on all the time). And, basically, if you do not absolutely need any settings turned on in the Privacy Settings tab, turn them ALL off!
Absolutely fantastic information! For novices like myself, you give step by step ways to change settings with PICTURES to show where to go. (I'm a visual person). THANK YOU!
Outstanding video, thanks for the advice! I have Windows 11 but much of your settings are similar.
Is the yelling really necessary? Either put the mic closer and/or turn up the mic volume. Otherwise your video was pretty informative.
most settings can be done when installing windows without hitting the "next" button like a mad man 😛
Really difficult to watch when your windows is on white mode
Being a Linux user, I disable everything that I can (no, not EVERYTHING: you know what I mean.)
If I want something done, I will do it myself, you #§*£%! Microsoft.
Brilliant video. I already automatically adjust my privacy settings when I get a new computer, but didn't know about the other stuff, esp how to turn off background apps and the manufacturers add-ons. Thanks!
i heard never get win 11 as all invasive
Love the energy – product focus – and content delivery approach !!! 😉 Thanks !!
The first things you mentioned are already set to off unless you turn them on. Mine were all off so useless info. All the ad stuff starts in the off position so useless info again.
new subscriber here Thank You Sir
nice nice!!
Windows+privacy=set everything to off
thx
THE BEST VIDEO EVER! Thank you very much.
I have a much better solution with only 2 steps
Step 1: Throw Windows in the trashcan
Step 2: Install Linux
I'm so glad that I took time to look
Indexing is not active on my pc, how do I fix that?
Thank you very much!
Why are you so private? What' are you doing on your computer?
I bought a pre-installed win 10, mini pc. Hate it. Can you tell me how to go back to win 7 and eliminate 10? Win 10 sux and 11 probably too.
Or leave it on "Automatic" and the OS will try to optimize the MTU size for you. (If you have a Mac that is).
Excellent content. Thanks a bunch
Liron i subscribe!
i've had the weirdest experiences while talking on the phone with my doctor, and just by saying stuff like "wheelchair" i start getting commercials regarding wheelchairs.
The reason it struck me is that i don't use one, i never have, and i never looked for one online.
I suffer from neurosis and on the phone my doctor simply suggested that i try one to which i replied "i don't need a 'explicit' wheelchair!
The very next day i started getting commercials from stores selling them.
-This really should be illegal !
Thx for showing.
I reinstalled Win 10 after trying 11 out… they freaking auto activate onedrive and set all of your documents, pics, audio and video to go there even after I'm certain I did not agree to that "feature"… needless to say having to use regedit to get around it is aggrivating to say the least.
this is really helpful i love this content
I have windows 10, I followed your suggestions on “turn these window settings off”, fine but now when I play back YouTube etc I get the commentary going into a robot type voice (like matrix) for a few seconds on all I try to play, what can I do to stop this?
I have been using Linux for so long that I know nothing about Windows. I'm learning new stuff and using Windows was a longer learning curve than I expected. Checking settings now.
There is no way to gain privacy in Windows 10. There wasn't any since Windows 98.
This was so helpful!! Can you please kindly tell me how to remove Cortana? Thank you
