YMMV

Have a good one

I'll definitely check it out. I'm actually typing this on a Win 7 machine. I find 10 and 11 to be major PITAs.

Wait till you experience 12!

I have a 64-bit Win10 laptop that all I basically use it for is to monitor security cameras while running an Android emulator (BlueStacks) with Wyze security camera software. Due to the fact that this laptop is limited to 4GB of RAM (and more RAM cannot be added), the laptop often struggles to smoothly run the Android emulator and security camera software. I'll have to check out the program in the video to see if it might help any. Thanks for posting it.

There used to be registry hacks(?) for Win98, WinXP, and I believe Win7 as well that would disable (and/or set to manual) a whole bunch of Services within Windows that were set by default to Automatic, but which were often unnecessary. It seemed to make quite a difference in how snappy the OS ran. I haven't kept up with what is available for Win10. Is there something similar for Win10?
