00:00Tired of Windows 11 holding you back? Ready to unlock its true potential and make it work
00:05exactly the way you want? Today, we're diving deep into the engine room of your operating
00:10system the registry. I'm going to show you how to perform some powerful tweaks that will
00:14supercharge your user experience, enhance your privacy by disabling telemetry, and maximize
00:20your CPU and system performance. These are the secrets the pros use. So get ready to transform
00:25your PC. First up, let's tackle one of the biggest annoyances in Windows 11, the new context
00:31menu. That show more options button is an extra click we just don't need. Let's bring back
00:36the classic, full context menu. Open the registry editor by searching for regedit in the start
00:42menu and running it as an administrator. Now, navigate to hiki underscore current underscore
00:47user. Then software, classes, CLS ID, right click on the cosid key, select new, then key. You'll
00:55need to paste in a specific long name for this key, which I'll have in the description below
00:59for you to copy. Don't try to type it, it's a nightmare. Once you've created that key,
01:04right click on it, select new, then key again, and name this one in perk server 32. Now, on
01:10the right side, double click the default value, leave the value data blank, and click OK. That's
01:17it. Just restart your computer or sign out and back in, and your classic right click menu
01:22will be back in all its glory. No more extra clicks. Next, let's get you to your desktop
01:27faster by completely disabling the lock screen. You know, that screen you have to click or
01:32swipe away before you even get to the login screen. It's pretty, but it's also a time
01:37waster. In the registry editor, navigate to hkii underscore local underscore machine, then
01:43software, then policies, Microsoft, and finally, Windows. Right click on the Windows key, select
01:50new, then key, and name it personalization. Now, with your new personalization key selected,
01:56right click in the empty space on the right, select new, then DWORD 32-bit value. Name this
02:03new value knowledge screen, double click it and change the value data from 0 to 1. Click OK,
02:09and you're done. The next time you boot up, you'll go straight to the login screen, saving
02:13you a precious few seconds every single time. While we're making things faster, let's speed
02:18up the entire user interface. Have you ever noticed a tiny, almost imperceptible delay
02:23when you open menus or hover over items in the taskbar? That's intentional, designed to
02:28make the animations look smoother. But for power users, speed is everything. We can eliminate
02:34that delay. In the registry editor, go to hkii underscore current underscore user, then control
02:40panel, and click on desktop. On the right side, find the value named menashao delay. The default
02:46is usually for 100 milliseconds. Double click it and change that value to something much
02:50lower, like 20. I find 20 is a good balance, making things feel instant without being jarring.
02:57Click OK, and after a restart, you'll notice your menus and tooltips pop up instantly. It's
03:02a small change that makes your whole system feel significantly snappier. Now let's move on
03:07to a crucial topic, your privacy. By default, Windows 11 collects a lot of data about how you use
03:13your computer. This is called telemetry, and Microsoft uses it to improve products and fix
03:18bugs. While their intentions may be good, many users, myself included, prefer to keep our usage
03:25data private. You can turn a lot of this off in the settings app, but to truly shut it down,
03:30we need to go to the registry. This is one of the most important privacy tweaks you can make.
03:35So, back in the registry editor, we're going to navigate to a new location,
03:39go to key underscore local underscore machine, then software, then policies, Microsoft, Windows,
03:46and finally, data collection. If you don't see the data collection key, you'll have to create it.
03:52Just right-click on the Windows key, select new key, and name it data collection. Now,
03:57select the data collection key. On the right side, right-click, choose new, and select word 32-bit
04:03value. Name this value a lot of metric. By default, its data will be zero, which is exactly
04:09what we want. Zero means disabled. If it's not zero for some reason, double-click it, and set the
04:15value data to zero dot click OK. This single setting is a powerful way to tell Windows you
04:20don't want it phoning home with your data. It's a fundamental step in taking back control of your
04:25digital privacy. With our privacy enhanced, let's focus on raw performance. We're going to squeeze
04:31every last drop of speed out of your system, starting with your boot-up time. Windows has a built-in
04:37delay for startup applications. This is meant to let the desktop load fully before your apps start
04:42clamoring for resources. But if you have a fast SSD, this delay is completely unnecessary.
04:48Let's get rid of it. In the registry editor, navigate to key underscore current underscore user,
04:53then software, then Microsoft, Windows, current version, Explorer. Here, you'll need to create a new
05:00key. Right-click on Explorer, select New, key, and name it Serialize. Now, select your new Serialize
05:07key. On the right-hand pane, right-click, select New. Then DWORD 32-bit value. Name this value startup
05:14delay in SUX. The value data should be zero by default, and that's what we need. This tells Windows to
05:20launch
05:21your startup apps with zero delay, combined with a fast drive. This can make your startup feel almost
05:26instantaneous. Finally, let's speed up the other end of the process. Shutting down your computer.
05:32When you click shut down, Windows patiently waits for all running services and applications to close
05:38gracefully. Sometimes, a stubborn program can hang, leaving you staring at the shutting down screen for
05:43what feels like an eternity. We can shorten the time Windows is willing to wait. Back in the registry
05:49editor, go to HKEY underscore local underscore machine, system, current controls, and then control.
05:56Look for a value on the right called Waitokil Cervicicati. This value is in milliseconds,
06:01and the default is usually 5000, which is 5 seconds. This is the amount of time Windows will wait for
06:07a
06:07service to respond before forcing it to close. Double-click it and change the value to 2000,
06:13for 2 seconds. This is a safe value that significantly speeds up shut down without being too aggressive and
06:19causing data loss. Click OK, and you're all set. So there you have it. We've reclaimed the classic
06:25context menu, bypassed the lock screen, and made your UI feel lightning fast. Weavey also taken a
06:31major step in protecting your privacy by disabling telemetry and unleashed your system's performance
06:36with faster startup and shutdown times. You are now officially a Windows 11 power user. But before you
06:42go, a very important disclaimer. Editing the Windows registry can be risky. If you delete or change the
06:48wrong thing, you can cause serious problems for your operating system. Before you make any of these
06:54changes, I strongly recommend you back up your registry. You can do this by clicking File, then
06:59export in the registry editor, and saving the file somewhere safe. That way, if anything goes wrong,
07:05you can simply import it to restore your settings. Take your time, double-check every step, and you'll be
07:11fine. Thanks for joining me on this deep dive. If you found these tips helpful, give this video a like
