It's properly formatted on Google, they have a Word Document that is free, you have to have a Google Account. If you use YouTube, have an account signed into it, there you go.

It will be the right-hand side next to your profile picture, click on the six dots in the shape of a square, it will be the Drive...they also have a Translate at the bottom for learning languages.

I would've figured this out sooner if I had quiet, not in debt and wasn't surrounded by children.

Here's everything that I know:

-There are 36, 37 if you count your account, apps on your Google Account

-If you need help, they'll have a generally asked questions site

-There will be tutorials on YouTube if you need help

-Take Notes, keep them simple and easy for YOU to understand, most phones, laptops and tablets will have sticky notes, word, or some alternative to Microsoft

-Every phone, laptop, tablet, etcetera will have a search bar to look up stuff on your phone, laptop, tablet, etcetera. It will be the same under settings.

-You can figure out the model of your phone blah blah blah and order parts online, I've done that with my old Gateway laptop.

-Public Libraries are a great place for Knowledge, finding books to read, going on the internet. Where I live, you'll need a library card (last I checked) If they still have it, they'll also have book sales, I found the Lord of The Rings book a long time ago.

-Nicer jobs have waitlists...at least, where I live (Michigan)

-You work too well, you'll fill 2-3 positions, like I did.

-If you live in a box and it's hot: Hot box

-You live by Nature, the branches can extend into pipes, damage them or have their roots in them... causing blockage.

-Heat rises, Heat rises

I could go into more detail, however I'm not. There are other individuals who can explain it better than I can with videos on YouTube; Spotify.

Ways You Should Know to Stop Apps from Running in Background

If you use Windows 11, you can choose to disable some certain apps to run in background. Which means they will not be able to perform any tasks when you are not actively using them, thus saving battery and system resources.

Which Windows 11 apps can be chosen to stop running in background

In Windows systems, apps that can run in the background have the ability to keep sending and receiving notifications, syncing information, and staying up to date, even when you are not actively in these apps’ windows, which are commonly called Background Apps. These apps usually do not have a direct UI (user interface). Once deployed and configured, they launch automatically at startup and run continuously.

Some apps from the Microsoft Store can run in background. For example, Communications apps, like WhatsApp, Slack, or Microsoft Teams; News and Weather apps. If you find an app using a lot of battery when running in background or you do not need an app which is not crucial for the system at all , you can choose to disable its background permissions on your Windows 11 with the 4 methods in this article. By disabling background apps, you can reduce system resource usage and improve overall performance of your Windows 11.

Method 1. Disable a background app in Settings

You can stop an app from running in background using Windows Settings.

Step 1. Open the Installed apps page in Settings

Step 2. Open Advanced options of the app

Another way to access to the permissions of the background apps page is through the Battery usage. You might also find other apps here rather than those in the page of Installed apps. Below is how to navigate to it:

Windows Settings-System-Power & battery

Step 3. Choose Background apps permissions to Never

Noted: Repeat the above steps to disable multiple background apps. But if you want your Windows 11 to stay connected and get app updates, you must set at least one background app to Always.

Method 2 Disable all background apps in Group Policy Editor

The second way to disable a background app is to use the Group Policy Editor app.

Step 1. Open Group Policy Editor

Step 2. Navigate to App Privacy

Open the following key in Local Group Policy Editor:

Step 3. Disable Let Windows app run in the background

Method 3 Disable all background apps in Registry Editor

If you know Registry Editor well, you can also disable a background app by modifying the value in it. Be careful when using the Registry Editor, or any incorrect changes might cause negative consequences on system stability and functionality. It is recommended to create a backup or system restore point before making any changes in the Registry Editor.

Step 1. Open Registry Editor

Step 2. Navigate to AppPrivacy

Open to the following key in the Registry Editor app:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy

Step 3. Create a new value in AppPrivacy

Step 4. Set the value to 2

Method 4 Disable a background app with Wise Care 365

Wise Care 365 is an optimization and maintenance software that helps improve the performance and stability of Windows computers. It offers various features such as system cleaning, privacy protection, disk defragmentation, and more. It also includes tools like Startup Manager, Registry Cleaner, and Disk Cleaner to optimize your system.

Step 1. Open System Tuneup tab

Step 2. Find the desired app in Startup Manager

Step 3. Disable the desired app

The 4 methods above can help disable your unwanted background apps and save battery and resources of your Windows computer. To find more source about disabling a background app, please click here.

I had one of my comments removed from the r/pcmasterrace subreddit for breaking a rule that's not even listed on their ruleset and you have to go to an entirely separate website to view the full version (including the one I broke), so I'm going to post this shit here: NEVER FUCKING PAY FOR WINDOWS. EVER. Never buy it from Microsoft and never buy a cheap activation key from a shoddy website.

when you install windows, if the option shows up, select the 'pro' edition and skip entering the product key. once you're finished installing and booted into the system, open powershell and run:

irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex

that command will download and run the microsoft activation scripts runner, which activates your Windows installation for free, without Microsoft ever knowing. they cannot revoke your self registered keys, and you get shit like group policy editor for free. you can also use it to freely activate Microsoft Office.

here's some other tools I use to make windows installations at least somewhat useable:

Chris Titus's WinUtil script: powershell script that can be run to quickly debloat, customize, and optimize a windows installation. disables useless bloat and lets you install a selection of useful software, as well as perform a number of optimizations to improve system responsiveness and privacy. free and open source.

WingetUI: a powerful UI package manager for installing packages via Winget, Chocolatey, Pip, NPM, and other sources. available via Winget (SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore) or WinUtil

WizTree: disk space analyzer to determine what's consuming the most space on your hard drive. displays the results in a list view as well as a visual block-based view. incredibly fast and easy to use. available via Winget (AntibodySoftware.WizTree) or WinUtil

SysInternals: a set of diagnostic tools and utilities that allow you to poke around at the components of the operating system, useful for all sorts of things. namely, process explorer allows you to figure out what's using a file or device. available via Winget (sysinternals) or WinUtil

7zip: file archive manager supporting almost all compression types. available via Winget (7zip.7zip) or WinUtil

WinSCP and PuTTY: SCP/SFTP and SSH/Telnet clients for Windows, with intuitive GUIs. available via Winget (WinSCP.WinSCP, PuTTY.PuTTY) or WinUtil

CPUID CPU-Z and TechPowerUp GPU-Z: hardware identification apps that allow you to view the stats and specs of your CPU, GPU, memory, and motherboard. available via Winget (CPUID.CPU-Z, TechPowerUp.GPU-Z) or WinUtil

CrystalDiskMark and CrystalDiskInfo: hard disk drive / solid state drive benchmarking and health check software. available via Winget (CrystalDewWorld.CrystalDiskMark, CrystalDewWorld.CrystalDiskInfo)

VirtualBox: virtual machine software that's highly user friendly, makes it super easy to run old software or isolate a program from the host system. available via Winget (Oracle.VirtualBox)

VLC Media Player: media player supporting playback from files, from disk devices, and from network streams. supports all codecs and highly configurable. available via Winget (VideoLAN.VLC) or WinUtil. fully free and open source.

Windows Terminal: a tab-based terminal emulator for easier multitasking in the terminal. integration with Powershell, CMD, visual studio developer powershell, and windows subsystem for linux. available via Winget (Microsoft.WindowsTerminal) or WinUtil

this concludes my software recommendations. also when you install windows be sure to turn off the following services: BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service), and DiagTrack (Connected User Experiences And Telemetry). also make sure you disable cortana.

FAQ: Q: Activating paid products for free? isn't that piracy? A: suck my fucking tits this concludes the FAQ. no further questions
