  1. a year ago i can play pubg in my potato pc i5 3470 gtx 1060 3gb with less fps drop and not hitting 100% cpu usage with medium settings now its freezing frame drops to single digits i notice this in other games also i re install windows multiple times and the outcome still the same i guess theres something wrong with w10 new updates or they are doing the dirty work and forcing us to upgrade both os and hardware hmmm

  7. My background apps are just crazy… so many apps that aren’t even open run in the background…then if they are open there’s like a million files for each program open…

  9. i accidentally put the whole steam background files and stuff to my desktop but idk how to put it back lol, looks like someone made random files litterally on the entire screen, and when i open anything linked with steam everything changes places and the games off of steam turn into the paper look💀💀💀💀

  16. bloat wear also slows down computers. i had ibm t60 on windows 10 and it was so slow because it a ddr2 ram computer but had lenovo y500 on windows 10 which ddr3 laptop and runs fan., they both have intel core duo . on winodws 8.1 the t60 works fine and lower as there is less blotwear. but i want t60 on windows 10 to be as fast as be on windows xp. do you know any tools to delete all the blot ware

  26. Didn't think I'd fine a single aspect of this industry that I'd do better than you but here you are.
    My advice to anyone here running a low spec machine, a.k.a. where this information really matters,is install the Tiny version of the operating system. Trust me. You'll love the 2 tasks task manager and so will your memory.

  29. I thought that the barrier that worrying about SO killing your FPSs ended with SSDs, 8GB RAM and Quad Core CPUs. C'mon dude… We are not in the age of Windows Vista anymore where tweaking windows gave you more frames.

  34. so-called tech people always worry too much about bloat, there are some things that need to be on a computer…
    its like an old meme i used to see: "if you are running windows, it's bloatware" LOL
    also, big finger to the idiot who said Linux is bloatware because he tried to say Debian is better than Ubuntu because of "bloatware"…
    people who worry that much about bloatware have never heard about a function called "uninstalling" or "deletion"

  37. i could never understand how people manage to fill theyre screen as ive only had 2 full rows top to bottom AT MOST lol it just baffles me and im a heavy gamer so…….

  38. I always had to purge a ton of bloat on my old laptop every 6 months or so to keep it running well. Though I have no idea if it helped at all, or was just in my head.

  41. "I heard zoomers are super into multitasking" He says as I, a zoomer, watches this video, goes through old pokemon cards, checks their rarity, and eats at the same time

  42. I have some criticism to add to the video:
    1. The tests should have been done on a lower end pc. The difference would have been a lot bigger and you could've drawn a conclusion that way.
    2. There should have been latency tests as well. Fps isn't the only thing that matters, I'd actually prefer lower delay over higher fps.

  43. I think Glary Utilities is useful and It only need running when you are cleaning stuff and managing auto-opening new app and scheduled tasks
