Don't just disable those unwanted Windows apps, uninstall them. I take it a step further and never let them get installed in the first place. Whenever I get a new computer, I upgrade (free for me, your circumstance may differ) from the Home version to the Pro version. I do a clean install by downloading the ISO image (tip: install a user-agent switcher extension to your browser and set it to Linux before visiting the Microsoft site: then you'll get a direct link for downloading the ISO rather than having to use the media creation tool) and using NTLite (the freeware version suits my needs) to create a customized ISO. I remove all those apps I don't want, everything related to XBox, etc.

Hey Leo (this might be another "question" for you?). I am (still) on Win 10. So I go to the Start icon, right-click, and get a list of options, including Computer Management. I left-click on that one, and ... nothing (well, the list of options disappears). Hmmm. Right-clicking has the same (non-)effect, btw. When I try the various options, I find that some of them "work" (ie: bring up another window): Apps and Features, Power Options, System, Network Connections, Settings, Search, Run, Shut Down or Sign Out; whereas others have no effect/only close the option list: Event Viewer, Device Manager, Disk Management, Computer Management, Windows Powershell, Windows Powershell (Admin), Task Manager, File Explorer, Desktop (ok, I don't know what Desktop is supposed to do). I CAN get to (eg) Powershell by left-clicking on the Start icon and scrolling down to the Windows Powershell options and choosing one. It appears that "something" is broken/mis-configured, but what? And how do I fix it?

How timely Leo. SSD! My laptop is five years old, can not be updated to Win11(per MS) and I have been thinking about replacing it. My only reservation is the hard drive in todays laptops. I am 80, like to use the KISS theory and do not use cloud storage and most laptops today come with very small hard drives. I prefer to be "self contained" so to speak. So the question is, what are the alternatives? Do I buy one with a small hard drive and then go through the expense of having someone replace it and I now have a useless small SSD and possible warranty violation? Can I just use one externally? Advice/Solutions??? As always, thanks for sharing the great information. JimE

You can buy a laptop with a (small) 256GB SSD and an external 2TB hard drive (Western Digital Elements for example) for storing data that you connect via USB. Speed here is not crucial because it's just for storing data not running the OS or apps. It's always a good idea anyway to store your important data externally, especially in case of laptops, which you take with you and has a higher chance to get damaged than a desktop (water spill, drop, theft, etc).

It's not fair to say there's no reason to leave a desktop in Balanced performance node: it saves a considerable amount of electricity. This is reflected in savings WRT to your energy bill, and your carbon footprint. I've studied the effects of Ultimate, Performance, and Balanced modes and can say the differences in performance are hardly measurable and certainly not perceptible, but the savings in power is significant. Likewise, running a computer 24/7 solely to let the malware scans happen overnight is wasteful if not downright irresponsible.

It does not dictate whether the M.2 shape drive is SATA based or NVMe based. If it is SATA based, then it will perform no faster than a 2.5" SATA based SSD. 3) You can add in a PCIe card interface for M.2 drives. Your computer need not have to have a physical M.2 port integrated on the motherboard, as long as you have a free PCIe slot for an NVMe based M.2 card.

Why are you recommending turning off the Search Indexer? Sure, Windows Search works without it, but really? Enough people complain that Windows Search doesn't work, but that is because they do not know how to use it properly. Asking them to turn off a critical service that makes it work is counterintuitive, because it makes using their computers harder than it could be, and most notably because Search Indexer has almost no impact on overall system performance whatsoever. You may find it more productive to publish a video that shows people how to properly use Windows Search to find their files, such as using DATE, KIND or TAG filters (to name but a few), in addition to the AND, OR and NOT operators. None of which will work if the Search Indexer is turned off. For the record, since subscribing to Ask Leo, this is the first Thumbs Down I've given to your content.
