Hi Eli my name is john carr I am retired 70 years old I live in Australia , I have thought about trying to find out more about computer I have been watching your videos & they are very good .I also looked at a couple of video's by other people but I have decided to stick with you because you are a very good teacher & very good at what you do I have never subscribed to any one before but I will now subscribe to your channel ,once again you do great work thank you regards john carr
I graduated last year as ( IT ) and I learned from this video more than the whole years that I have spent on my degree !! thank you so much master for your time
i love the fact that you showed it all and explained it with detail. most youtubers of your category just show you how but never explain why it needs to be done and how it works. Life is way easier with understanding.
Eli You are really an amazing teacher. I went to school to study computer repair & you have explained this bussiness so clearly that I am in awe! I have finally understand things that I never could grasp. thank you so much for this amazing video and your gr8 teaching skills.
i got an interview this friday in helpdesk/desktop support preparing for it , u gave me usefull information in Windows Troubleshooting .Thank u sooo much
Eli thank you for sharing this valuable information for free. I can't wait to get back to work on Monday! I've been on a help desk since December of 2018 and I wish I knew this information before starting.
Good stuff man! I learned all this stuff years ago, but it's always good to review. I need to stay on top of my game being in the IT field! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for all the work you put into these videos. I promise to write a check when I can. I am studying for my A+, really just reading the things I don't know. Cisco road is what attracts me the most, though I still need to step on the IT field. I am sure this videos will bear much fruit and I will give my thanks properly. Thanks again. Gabriel, Houston Tx.
Knowing how to use "Safe Mode" is a must for any windows user. Heck, I tend not to have many issues, but the other day I enabled K-Boost through EVGA precision for my GPU. Basically K-Boost is supposed to lock the clock of your GPU at the max boost/overclocked speed. Well, little did I know the current Nvidia drivers don't play nicely with K-boost. I enabled it and rebooted my system as instructed... My computer refused to boot into windows. It would just crash. I ended up having to load up "Safe Mode", and delete my GPU drivers. After that windows booted up fine, and I was able to reinstall my GPU drivers. It was simple to do, and only took a few min... However, such a issue could be a showstopper leading to my system being a paper weight or a total OS reinstall if I hadn't know better. The way "Safe Mode" helped my issue was that K-Boost caused my drivers to be unstable. As long as windows attempted to load up my GPU drivers my system was not going to boot into windows. By going into "Safe Mode" and not loading unessential drivers I was able to get around the unstable graphics drivers and get into windows. Once in windows I was able to remove the now faulty drivers allowing my system to properly boot into windows next time around. **I really enjoy your videos. A lot of it tends to be information I'm aware of, but it's never a bad thing to revisit information and ideas you already knew. Heck, every now and then I find out things I didn't know, or gain a new understanding of things I thought I knew.
Thanks for this video. I got a new job in retail IT and have an A+ certification. This is a good refresher for Windows. However, you should make a newer version of the class which covers Windows 10 and IOS/Android if you can.
Hi Eli, this a great video for diagnosis, might be worth mentioning to run anti malware programs and antivirus sometimes.to check for bad stuff on the computer..Fred UK...
This is a great tutorial, but in terms of computer technology is pretty old. Most of it is still perfectly applicable, but one note of caution for people who aren't familiar with computer hardware: Although disk defragmentation is a standard part of maintaining an HDD (hard disk drives), SSDs (solid state drives) do not require disk defragmentation, and it unnecessarily degrades their performance over time.
Best replacement for Task Manager is Process Explorer from Sysinternals (now owned by Microsoft) it's free over at MS and Mike Russinovich still updates it. If you follow his blog and his yearly Case of the Unexplained vids, you'll get an idea how to use the tool. It's really useful a long with Process Monitor.
hi elithecomputer guy. I am having a hard time at school, im currently taking BS IT but after watching your videos it gives mo more idea on how to deal with it. thanx a lot. pls. upload a video on how to fix "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration. i always encounter this problem everytime i turn on my pc and try to connect to my cisco modem. it took me 2-3 hrs. resetting my modem and trouble shooting using the find and fix of windows. im using 32 bit windows 7 ultimate.
Great!!!! learnt so much, will save me lots of cash in repairs ,very good videos and interesting to watch thanks again, and yes you are a genius.......
For example at work going to a network drive on machines was causing a delay for several mins. Looking in Task Manager was showing CPU at 50% and explorer at 50%, nothing more. Process Explorer showed me the same, but then looking at the Threads of Explorer I was able to see one .dll relating to our encryption software running at 50%, stopping that dll running fixed the issue.
Good day sir! We would like to ask if we can feature your videos for our thesis. It would be a great help because it consists of reliable information/troubleshooting tutorials. We will not forget to give credits for your helpful videos so readers can take a look on your link and videos. Thank you sir and we are hoping for your favorable response.
Eli, I'm having a very hard time booting my Windows 10. It was just shipped out to my new residence. Anyway, the boot will start for about 10 secs or so then it stops and goes no further. The green light stays on. The point is I am trying to boot from a from a USB and I have to change the boot order: as I am not sure that the USB boot order is before the hard drive. So, is there a way to get to BIOS using a DVD or USB (Hiren's BD)? If I'm at all clear. I'm trying to make a BD DVD also if I can't make it with a USB. Thanks.
You said that if you delete these software entries from registry, these will not start up. Please clear if these softwares would still be usable whenever required?
How can I delete a Chrome Extension I added which is annoying me?? Also, U may not know this but the sound goes from loud. to soft & then to louder. Something like this so I had to keep changing the sound level...
am trying to add firewall to windows app, so that external devices can can connect to this app on my computer. I have added rule successfully, with: Inbound application name: my application name into my PC other parameters are normally set. However, when I try to access this app from external devices, it fails. If i changed connection to "All Programs that meets the specified conditions" >> works properly. so, all parameters should be correct, but the issue is into program name, which I am sure it is ok. Any advice. Thanks..
Appreciate your info here. Im definitely a lil smarter thanks to you. One question tho, why when after doing a disc clean-up, does it take my computer 15 minutes to delete 128mb worth of temporary files? That makes very little sense to me.
computer's performance about fully im not sure. cuz slowly running. whats shall making i? 1-cd-dvd fully detecting doesnt some issues. 2-usb ports processing didnt correctly.3-startup many late launching.
I've tried to system restore my laptop, but it won't let me restore it, and the only restore dates are from a week ago, and i need to go back further more. What else can i do?
My PC will freeze up when running the built in "Troubleshooter", my system consist of a ASRock Motherboard Z97 Extreme6, Intel i7 processor, 32Gigs Ram, "C" drive is a Samsung 950 Pro SSD M.2 Ultra Card - fitted into a flat PCI Express 32GB/s slot (board has 2 of these flat slots), in addition to 5 - 1TB drives for storage and 1 hot swap - 1 TB drive for back up. Also connected are 3 DVD/CD ROMs. I have unplug all drives & DVD/CD ROMS, only thing run is the SSD M.2 Samsung 950 Pro card. System boots super fast, I have taken the time to plug in one drive at a time and then run the Control Panel>Troubleshooting built in software, it found problems and corrected them for the first 3 - 1TB drives, then I plugged in number 4 & 5 and problems no longer existed. Then I started plugging in my DVD/CD Roms, plugged in the first one and every thing was fine, plugged in the second one and system will lock up completely and give me a constant buzzing noise. I have swapped all three drives around to no avail, lock up continues. I have even unplugged my HD's and plugged the DVD/CD ROMS into those spots, it didn't make a difference. Troubleshooter still locks up. I have tried every possible combination and when I get to the second DVD/CD ROM being connected the troubleshooter will freeze the system completely. I know all 3 ROMS are working, plugged in at one at a time it will read anything and it will now burn after correcting the error found in Bonjour which is a part of itunes. I simply selected Bonjour and selected repair. Problem fixed. So independently all 3 ROMS are working, but when more then one ROM is connected troubleshooter locks up computer. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
You can use Sysinternals Autoruns to view programs that start up automatically from several locations in the Registry, without remembering the exact paths. The program is now published by Microsoft since they took over the independent team Sysinternals. It allows to permanently delete any autoruns as well as services (drivers). The services category should normally be left alone, but you could go over it to find a rogue malware or a CD protection driver which can cause problems. An older version, such as version 8, will support all legacy Windows versions.
Eli, why is the Task Manager so feeble? When my browsers freeze the entire system freezes, and it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour to do enough repairs to get the system operating smoothly again. If it's a problem with the CPU, why can't the Task Manager have an emergency reserve of power to enable it to override everything? Thank you.
Lol the task manager doesn't use power like an appliance, it's a program like any other. if you're system is frozen most often you can't even use task manager.
my laptop freezes and after Windows 10 deletion hard disk would't accept the recovery disks of Toshiba .i paid 90 euros to a service but same thing happened .when i formatted the new hard disk it wasn't copied with the generic one so problems again .laptops are not for me .
when i m duble click on any icon on my laptop the massage come up you are sure to want it delete contro panal icon from your desktop torestore it latter, go to control pannel
Man Your are a GREAT Teacher!!!! You really know your stuff and yoyu have a easy to understand method of teaching. One question: when I am in the C drive pie chart there is a box that says "Compress the Drive to save disk space" what happens if I check it? will that give me more free space without changing anything on my laptop? Thanks
what it does is to compress like it says, but DO NOT compress .exe files which would be unavoidable if you tried to compress the whole of c: its very handy if your create a folder on c: and fill it with other types of file such documents etc, the good thing about compress is you don't have wait for it to decompress, its on the fly
Hi eli, my windows 7 laptop got a blue screen of death the other day, and i shut it down instantly. After that, i tried booting my laptop but then a black screen appears and ask's me to repair pc but the repair pc doesn't work. I tried pressing f8 and booting with safe mode and did system restore. My laptop is stil not load, :( can you please help me.
I am having problem with download files from the net to computer. Please help; I hav lots of homework and I cant download to read Keeps getting error message: xyz.exe cant download Thank you

Great video. Good for real world knowledge on how to clean up system and check status.
Thanks for the clear and complete assistance, to my start up lag.
Man, you're great teacher,I like this lesson, thanks!
Thanks for this video. I got a new job in retail IT and have an A+ certification. This is a good refresher for Windows. However, you should make a newer version of the class which covers Windows 10 and IOS/Android if you can.
@TotalFootballdotCom This was done using a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox...
I click the ads just to give back to my favourite teacher!
Hi Eli, this a great video for diagnosis, might be worth mentioning to run anti malware programs and antivirus sometimes.to check for bad stuff on the computer..Fred UK...
it is a video about windows tools, by that he means Microsoft ?
This is a great tutorial, but in terms of computer technology is pretty old.

NOT MUCH TO Task Manager? You didn't say anything about "Resource Monitor" on the task manager. Excellent tool, even for beginners.
Thanku so much sir for your efforts
This video helped me lot to understand key concepts
I Manish from india 😍
For example at work going to a network drive on machines was causing a delay for several mins. Looking in Task Manager was showing CPU at 50% and explorer at 50%, nothing more.
