yea i usualy imediatly leave after the sponsor pops up
Lolll
great! now I can change the color of blue screen to green screen
If you have insider preview, you get that anyways 😂😂
SteezyT Insiders only get GSOD (Green Screen of Death) if it is a major issue, or if you trigger it in the registry's (obviously)
William // Devil Minty i put my usb in and i have an expired insider preview and windows crashed and it show the GSOD
Error usb_init_error
because only in communist Russia there's the red screen of death.
That has now been done in the Windows 10 Insider builds.
2:30 We NEED this as a WAN show emote. :)
Agree
make it, KappaLinus

does anyone know how to actually do that?
For if anyone still wondering how to do that without knowing how to search for the keyword on Google, try:
"windows oem logo"

Yall need to download more ram
I'll do it after I download more bandwidth
brb, downloading more everything.
I'll download more cpu cores.
I just got done downloading 4 GTX Titans from the cloud via DX12. I'm gonna download more hard drives as soon as I'm done downloading more CPUs and 4K monitors. I can now run wordpad at 3fps. Modern technolgy is amazing!
I found a better one.

I'm somewhat surprised you didn't touch up on why the registry makes the PC slower over time as you install and install programs, or just daily using some programs that abuse the registry. And no mention of why Microsoft's move to UWP (Universal Windows Platform) for app/applications is important going forward.
So, while Linux pointed out that the registry does indeed make it easy for some apps to 'talk' to each other, there are some software that just abuses the registry for more then just leaving settings in there, some will load up the registry with masses of amounts of data that has to be loaded and managed regardless every time your PC starts up. Or when you uninstall a program the uninstaller doesn't know what additional registry settings were added while you were using the program and just leaves them there. Some programs such as Microsoft's own Visual Studio make use of the registry so much, that it increases the registry size by over 50MB just from installation, with the majority of them not being cleaned up after an uninstall.
Microsoft's move to UWP allows developers to lock in a registry to their own app instance, so any registry changes are kept with the program, only loaded with the program, and completely removed with the program. This helps keep the system a lot cleaner and faster over time, with less need to use cleaners.
The registry is probably the number one thing that 'slows' down a PC over time, and why fresh installs of Windows feel faster.
You are the man!!!
This is the answer i am looking for!
Which registry cleaner do you recommend?
As fast as possible isn't fast enough for me, so I increase video speed by at least 1.5x.

This channel has taught me so many things about computers. It is amazing for someone who is keen on becoming a tech geek and study computer science like myself ! Thank you Techquickie !
my buddy asked me about helping him with his computer and selecting parts. you bet your rear end i sent him here to brush up! lol
Gaming scan was the beginner of beginner channels that explained things in a super simple and hella short way. And then techquickie is the next step on the ladder
Other changes people can do in the registry;
* Change / reset timers and other expiries stored in registry
* Delete / Modify persistent program settings normally inaccessible by conventional means
* Make available other features normally handled by GPEdit on home systems
For some users tho long to have some older Windows feature, the registry can be a place to enable these features. Also, for more dubious purposes... you're on your own, but you know what to search for. ;)
A good use for the windows registry if you know how to use it, is to remove the damn x-many days trial periods that some trial version program comes with...
i kept waiting for ccleaner to come up sometime in the video.
i am disappoint.
Ccleaner is actually a decent program! I use it myself along with Advanced System Care from IOBit
I bought IOBit for a year -- but didn't renew because it's so totally irritating. Almost every time I used it I was subjected to a blizzard of commercial puffery, long windy interruptions about how the version I had spent good money on was not the *real powerful* IOBit, and I should send them another twenty or thirty dollars for the real thing.
On one occasion they subjected me to a totally bogus "You have a problem, let us search it out. We can fix it for $20" false routine. I phoned them, got a silly girl who told me a bunch of lies first and then an urbane Indian who refunded my money right away, i.e. right away after the half hour wasted to get as far as him.
The whole thing had the appearance of a cost-of-doing-business payment: this guy's job was to be nice to the certain percentage of victims who didn't put up with being victims. Having him on payroll was their overhead to get all the other suckers' money.
Buyer beware.
be carful with system care pro, i use it and it does have a little bit of adware (nothing more than a free antivirus would have such as AVG) other than that i agree it is a great free program to use, and IOBIT have released some other great tools as well including a windows 10 setting tweak (like the windows 10 no phone home tool)
the uninstaller tool is another great program, allows you to batch uninstall multiple programs, and if it cant uninstall it via the programs uninstaller it will try to brute force uninstall it, then after it runs what they call "powerful uninstaller" which looks for any file left over on both your hard drive and registry and removes those sometime needing a system restart to finish removing
A few years back in the area of Windows XP - Vista I did use both CCleaner and programs from IOBit; but in truth they are not all they are cracked up to be. I learned over time if you're not too lazy that self managing your system is the best way to keep it running smooth and fast!
Advanced System Care ruined two on my home machine so i asked for a refund. It messes with too much.

This was a great introduction! I would love seeing you give even more details on registry editing, maybe you wanna do a "Top 10 most useful registry edits"? I have no doubt it will be amazing because you are so excellent at understanding UX issues and so I'm sure you have in mind every little detail that you would want to fix in Windows. So dig into those Google searches for the best ideas... I found this reg edit that lets you change the icon of of the different drives, so I put a picture of the HDD and SSD and a diagram of RAID0... I thought it was pretty and kind of smart ass thing... Btw I say that you are so excellent at UX because I saw your video of upgrading the iMac... You were so amazing at picking up every single detail about the differences between mac and Windows... You even found a couple of things I never notice but I agreed with everything it was so much fun watching! Love you and thanks!
Good general intro to this subject. I found myself editing this bugger time and again for corporate users. Been so long, I can't even remember the specifics. I loved taken the "sledge hammer" approach and deleting whole sections within particular branches. Amazingly enough, sometimes they'd rebuild themselves. Other times I was merely manually removing residual from uninstalled programs.
You're an amazing creator. I learned so much from this short video!
Using CCleaner to regularly use its registry tool works excellent for me and everyone else I know.
Ditto!
+New American Fishkeeper CCleaner is probably the best one for getting rid of programs that are sneaky, for sure.
OnlyNeedJuan Gaming As someone who just bought a Lenovo laptop, that's one of its better functions.
New American Fishkeeper Oh boy, good luck with that hahaha
+New American Fishkeeper I've used that tool a couple of times too. But you cannot really say that "it works excellent", because most of the times it doesn't do anything useful.
The problem with the registry is that although it allows for customization it is painful to navigate and not particularly user-friendly. Microsoft should make it easier to work with the registry graphically; - for example, customizing the context menus, what comes up when you go to the "New" menu by right-clicking etc.That would be awesome.
+Sina Madani that's what the windows 10 settings app is for, it is meant to unify more settings in one app instead of scattering them around the OS or hide them in the registry
***** settings -> system -> info
there are your specs
I'm talking about actually changing settings that Windows doesn't acknowledge exist; such as context menu options. Windows 10 is pretty poor at exposing customizability.
Was expecting a malwarebytes or cc cleaner "adver-tis-mint" at the end...
+BattousaiHBr
its CC leaner...
Still reading it as CC Cleaner I see, that's a paddlin'.
+CHiSEEN It's C Cleaner, because when it first came out, it was called crap cleaner. They later changed it to CCleaner.
BattousaiHBr Haha!
This is one of the most helpful videos you guys have made!!!
Linus, I love all your channels and I learn so much from your videos while still having fun. Never quit UA-cam.
actually one of the most useful "as fast as possible" videos for me! didn't know you could customize so much more about Windows through the registry. thanks.

i knew all that you mentioned except changing the oem logo and title :D that's a really cool one
Damn, this was incredibly informative. Just set up my context menu and got rid of all the bloat thanks to this video and HowToGeek.

I'm an old Network Admin. From the beginning... I have hated the Registry-File. It's just an Access database file. And as such... Prone to the the same problems of bloat and optimization problems when grown beyond a certain size!!!
Thank God Linux has not taken the same path!!!!
+Jon Spoonamore You may wish to do more research - It's actually a filesystem in a disk image file, to be perfectly accurate - except that it was half assed. It's corrupt right from the get go on a Windows system now days.
As for how terrible it is - I completely agree.
+Kenton B Actually... I have not done this since the Windows 95 days... You can copy the registry file and rename the extension to .mdb It will open as an Access database. At the time, Access was a major database player in the PC market. As usual... Microsoft took the path of least-resistance to fix issues they needed fixing. Behold.... The Registry-File was born from Access!!! If the registry file is now mountable file-system, the problem has gotten way worse than I thought!!!! I split from Windows, ages ago, to the Linux community. Long live Text Configuration Files!!! And... The ability to Install software/upgrades without needing to reboot a 1,000+ times!!!!

I've used CCleaner for a decade or so, and it most definitely makes things snappy again for me. With snappy I mean 5% increase or so, and overall a bit more responsive. Whoever thinks it increases by 9000% or some shit is just.. uninformed..
It usually only needs to be done once every few months or so, depending on how much I've done, but it does help. It's mostly a lot of cache cleaning, and registry edits not so much, but they do pop up enough for me personally. I can often trace back the registry points it wants to clean to software I don't have/use anymore. I can definitely recommend.
Finally Linus uploads this, I've been waiting for this FOREVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of good utilities was Tune up utilities from Avg, it was great as cleaner and settings editor for windows, but most times they clean only web browser caches so it really do nothing impossible from browser tools windows do. most interesting was themes to windows xp so most access. avg released Zen so if buyed was great to see some advance settings.

How to install windows in less than 30 seconds: First take your windows cd / dvd break it in half, 2nd go to a working computer and download any linux type platform and burn it to a booable iso disk, then install as normal.
Tacky advertisement! Open mouth...insert foot. I'm sure lynda.com was thrilled about that.
When you remove software from your system, they often leave tons of registry files. But deleting them doesn't do much unless your trying to manipulate free trials.
I have a question please
How do I change the setting of the Windows through the Registry to make the font size larger in the drop-down menu within the Excel program
"Back then, Windows and programs used small ini text files to store settings" Back then my arse. I still come around some of those files in modern programs around my hard drive on my laptop.
Krzysztof Korzeniewski Yep. A lot of programs related to Minecraft I use all have ini files with them.
+Krzysztof Korzeniewski That's not for ease of access but for portability. If you use registry to store settings you won't be able to run the same .jar on a Mac or a Linux PC.
I still remember the days of Win 3.11 - Dos 6.0.... opening up *.ini , *.bat, *.cfg files in the old basic editor... oh the pain.
INI files are really usefull for development because of the portability they provide. Imagine a program that is designed to run on different machines (by for example a usb stick), you can’t let them run by registery entries, it would break the portability. Also, sometimes ini files are usefull for webdev, for example, php makes smart and plentifull use of ini files.
Linus slipped up. He's from the future, so our "now" is his "back then".
I clean my registry with CCleaner like a litter box
Garbage
I use CCleaner too, and have for years. It is awesome.
I am the CC cleaner, I don't like programs messing with my files like that. I do it manually
Can you explain how to do it?
Using CCleaner of course. :D
Windows is the whole litter box. Not just the registry
my English listening is getting better watching your vids, sure that's beside the great info you offer :D
Man, this brings back memories. I haven't touched the registry in over a decade.

Many years ago when we ran NT 4.0 on our agency PCs, I was the PC coordinator at the time and I had limited administrative privileges. We had a custom login screen which could be edited via the registry editor. One of our co-workers had a grandchild, and so I hacked the registry on her machine such that the login screen congratulated her on the new family addition; she got a real kick out of it!!
I think this is the best one: In the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters, create a value named CrashOnCtrlScroll, and set it equal to a REG_DWORD value of 0x01.
Now you can get that nice BSOD any time you want, just by holding scroll lock and double tapping ctrl!
The Windows registry is basically like all the configuration files on a Linux system, nicely placed together in a quite vulnerable way so that updating a program can and eventually will screw up the entire OS.
my personal favorite registry edit is to edit the shutdown timeout.
In the registry Win 10 1803 and older was such a parameter-HibernateEnabled. Starting with version 1809 it was renamed HibernateEnabled Default. If you use the powercfg command to disable hibernation.exe /hibernate off in cmd. Then The hibernateenabled parameter will be recreated in the system in parallel with the new HibernateEnabled Default. Which causes problems with shutting down, and probably with sleeping due to duplication and most likely conflicting policies and rules.

Gotta say, I install Piraform's CCleaner and Defraggler on every computer I work on, personal, business, and clients. Those two utilities are awesome, and CCleaner will clean your registries as well!
Most games still use .ini to store settings, but a great example of a game which used the registry to store it's settings is Firewatch. I wanted to change the game's FoV and had to do it through the registry.
Nifty :)
+NarkDights | Hexthrill basically every game I've ever seen stored settings in the registry
+0M9H4X yet, most of the games still use .ini files to store settings. Guess it's less hassle developing and testing that way.
Windows Registry As Fast As Possible: Legacy garbage
Which has been superseded by?
I'd rather have a 'cryptic' error message that tells me exactly what happened.
Something like "Error 53. File 'ImportantFile.log' cannot be found. Click OK to terminate the program." is useful, not cryptic. It specifies what the problem is.
What I really hate are the modern, condescending, patronizing error messages like "Whoops! Something went wrong there and we need to close down." ... Firstly, that's not constructive in any way, and secondly, any programmer who uses the word "whoops" in their error messages needs to change jobs to a children's TV show presenter.
Even the new Windows setup starts off by saying "Hi". It's just cringe worthy. What the hell are Microsoft playing at recently?
They used to make really well designed, professional, work oriented software. Now it's like they're trying to make everything usable for idiots.
you just described everything i hate about modern windows. I think there should be a setting to force windows to tell you EVERYTHING that is happening specially at boot and UEFI can s@c a D!K
You can enable verbose dialog on Windows startup in Windows 7. I don't know about 8 or 10 though.
It's in the group policy under the interactive logon settings. But still, I do agree about Windows being more informative about exactly what is happening.
Sorry, I looked into it, and I gave you the wrong path. (Hey, I run a domain with over 50 GPO's. I'm bound to get them confused!)
Open GPEdit and browse to 'Computer configuration\policies\Administrative templates\System\' You may see an entry called 'Verbose vs normal status messages"
Set this setting to enabled. Now instead of showing "Welcome" for the whole duration of logon, you will see messages like "Applying user settings", "Applying printer policy", "Applying folder redirection policy", etc...
Now you know where it is, you can create a GPO and tell it to run on all client computers. I suggest enabling it on all of your servers too.
I think you could also do it from the local policy editor, if for any reason, you're not running a domain.
windows 10 here.......I miss verbose
Windows 10, huh?
I remember trying the pre release demo of that for a few months. I really disliked it :(
Okay the transition to the sponsor plug actually made me laugh out loud this time.
The registry was always the bane of Windows 95 thru XP. You'd boot up and it would still be epically busy doing something five to ten minutes later. Back in the old days you could hear the hard drive going nuts sequentially reading the registry for ages.
Not even MS understands the Registry in its entirety!
+IncapableLP I hope that's a joke, because registry is pretty damn simple
I need the pic from 4:05 ! It's awesome!
2:20 - You can change the font of the command promt by right clicking the window, selecting Properties, selecting Font, and changing the font there :P
Thanks for the info! Now I know why my computer can’t open apps because I have accidentally messed around with some settings in the registery.
I’m gonna find a safe registry cleaner to see if that helps 👍
FINALLY! THANK YOU!
That segue was a train wreck...never change, Linus!
+Nathan Maxx I was all like, "Oooooh, apply cold water to the affected area..."
Can you list reputable Registry clean up programs? Or links? Also, maybe even add in some other programs of the like?
Hi, I really learn a lot by watching you videos everyday there is just one thing that is bothering me that by following some random video on youtube I customized my registry settings and now my camera dosent work tried everything to fix it but no results so far. It would be great if you could tell me the fix
The registry is a scary and unpredictable thing that I won't ever touch again. I had a virus on one of my old computers and I used an anti-virus program to brute-force remove it from my computer and it ended up deleting a bunch of stuff from my registry.
Next time I turned it on, all sorts of stuff broke and weird things started to happen. Every time I would log into steam I would have to wait for the connection to fail and then manually log in. Battle.Net completely broke and I was unable to update it entirely, same goes for razer synapse. Eventually I got so fed up that I tried to reformat my computer and even that wouldn't work. I was unable to update my computer so that I could remove the updates and erase everything. It was a complete mess.
So no, the registry is no joke. If you start messing around with files you aren't sure about it can cause some incredibly strange issues.
+Kolbe Howard wut
+Kolbe Howard So what did you do in the end?
+Kolbe Howard Been there, did that, got the t shirt, and it didn't fit correctly. So from that moment onward..I Started making System Image Backups at least once weekly to one drive, then manually backups of my data ( and whatever else COULD be manually backed up), twice weekly to a separate drive.
I encountered a similar virus again ( albeit it was my own fault as I was testing the resistance of IE versus chrome to allow malware into my pc ). Tried the system image restoration. The virus seemed gone. For 3 more weeks straight, flawless system performance. Then I tried to test chrome versus IE versus Firefox in the same contest context. Got a different kind of virus that acted like Ransom Ware, but oddly didn't always lock me out of my desktop ( weird eh?).
For that situation, system image restoration did nothing. I had to " Custom" install Windows from the beginning and manually reinstall all my programs.
+Kolbe Howard Were you using Norton? Sounds like a crap anti-virus to me, even if it did make changes to the registry, any reputable software would advise you to make backups or at least a restore point.
Proverbial Potato I don't remember. It was that shitty FBI "go to the nearest atm" virus that kept popping up whenever I logged in. I was trying to get rid of it for hours and just got frustrated. I downloaded some super sketchy "registry cleaner" software and that's what did it.
In retrospect obviously it was retarded for me to do that but this was years ago and I wasn't thinking clearly.
Most Windows newbies should delete their Windows Registry.
+Richard's World lol, your evil
After that, when you boot your Pc it just goes To the recovery-screen.
I recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 and it was a flawless transition. However i did have a few minor issues. My external hard drives, i have connected via USB were sleeping after 5 mins of the drives being idle. This didn't happen in Windows 7 and i found the issue to be annoying. So i spent some time going through all the settings, power scheme settings etc and in the end, i had to edit the registry to resolve the issue and it worked.
People have been asking for this for a long time! Finally it is here :P
seeing that linus logo reminded me of that jurassic park scene. Ah ah you didnt say the magic word.
I migrated a single Diablo 2 install across 6 computers just by copying the program files and regkeys. Back in the easy days.
+Bob Bobson I didn't even change the regkeys. I just copied the install to my USB and it worked. I just have to launch through the proper EXE not the shortcut to that EXE
Back in the days of windows 95, if you had to uninstall and reinstall a program too many times the redundant registry entries would build up to the point where it substantially affected system performance. Not quite as big of a problem anymore
Manually cleaned registry recently (yes, I know what I'm doing, mostly) - windows 10 has never shut down or booted so quickly since the upgrade from 7! Lots of help from a sysinternals program called "autoruns"
in b4 lynda.com stop sponsoring after that burn.
2:31 WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?
I had to edit my Registry to remove a spyware Shell Extension that wouldn't stop lagging my entire File Explorer.
Also, I'm really good at finding Registry Keys for everything. I've been messing with it for a while now, so I know all of it's dirty secrets >:)
When Windows breaks, make sure to always have a handy WinPE stick close to you to get it fixed without reinstalling.
Using the registry, you can turn the capslock key into a second delete or backspace key.
For typing, that's the best regedit you'll ever do.

Why are drivers disks so small. Why aren't they a standard CD size but mini?
+ProrokC2 Translation.
Why are drivers dicks so small. Why aren't they a standard CD size but mini?
+ProrokC2 Most driver discs actually are a standard CD size. I think I've only ever seen one that was a mini disc. But many hardware manufacturers don't even include a disc at all anymore, they'll just send you to the website where you can download the latest driver, if the generic Windows one isn't good enough.
+ProrokC2 Drivers for a single program usually are very small in file size, manufacturing a regular size CD is wasted money.
However, DRIVERS for a motheboard are regular size.
Exactly what I said ...

Linux As Fast As Possible!
+TheFilledk A free open source operating system thats driven by the community, main creator is Linus Torvalds (a long with others of course), it runs famous operating system Android.
It dominates the server market right now and is based off UNIX, it is not that great for desktop use because it is not populated (it controls 2% of desktop market now) therefore applications are not supported such as Microsoft Office, Games, powerful editing tools etc. Linux is good for programmers as it gives them tools for programming that Windows simply can't offer.
Mac OSX is also based off UNIX like Linux so programmers can utilise the tools on Linux using a Mac while still giving the full application support like MS Office, games etc. Hence the term "Macs just work". It's a god send for us programmers.
There are many Linux operating systems that range from super easy to use like Ubuntu or Mint, to extremely hard to use such as Arch, Gentoo or LFS. Its extremely customisable however if you want to tweak you should have some sorta tech savvy love in you.
You're welcome :)
It's a operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds. Now it's considered to be an operating system distributron because the inclusion of the Linux kernel and other utilities that make up GNU/Linux. To date, there's more than 300 distributions, of which the most commonly-known is Ubuntu.
A garbage OS still better chan Chromebooks.
thank you Techquickie!!!!

+Undertale Trash ;3 Should Undertale be played with controller or keyboard?
One piece of software I'd recommend if anyone DOES want a good cleaner is Vitsoft Registry Fix. I've found that it CAN sometimes make a measurable difference in Windows performance IF the Windows install has been running for a few years OR something just plain weird's going on. For example, it can affect the response speeds of Windows explorer when browsing the Start Menu, occasionally shave a few seconds off of boot time, etc. I'm not certain about the EXACT SCIENCE here - it may have nothing to do with so-called 'errors' and more to do with the registry size itself, for all I know. Either way it has a nifty built-in backup for the few occasions where something goes wrong. Now, I've run it over a hundred times... and only twice have I ever noticed it causing problems. (Not, I should add, with the same computer. One was with an ancient and esoteric CAD program, the other was with a family member's custom font settings.) Pretty good numbers. I'm curious if anyone else is a fan of it. OR, heck if you have useful criticism of it, or can recommend a better one. Given how hard these things are to really JUDGE with practical results I'm pretty curious.

I've used CCleaner before to "fix" my registry and once it made Windows unusable and wouldn't let me make any changes, even though it is a reputable cleaner. This was years ago and it was the first time I used it so I'm guessing it was my own fault, but just be careful about these programs.
I also used to have Avira as my anti-virus and in the full-featured version that you have to buy (I just used it once during a trial period) the cleaning utility on that made a massive improvement to my computer's speed and made no errors.
Long story short: they can be useful but they can also be fraught with danger if you're not careful, even with the good ones.
Is the 2:31 mandatory thing to have for all employees' computers in LMG?
Press 3 repeatedly and hear "derp, derp , derp"

ini files were and are the way to do things. Goof a setting? just hop in the ini and fix it. What happens when you put all your eggs in one basket? Ask Micro$oft. They know.
I dont ever like/dislike cuz commercials make it feel like im watching tv again.. however, Linus you are very smart and I really enjoy your content. Thank you for the vids!
would have liked an endorsement (or otherwise) of ccleaner. It seems to the be registry cleaner that most people use. any chance of a comment on it? (love your work!)
