Windows 11 has a problem.
Too many things are turned on by default, buried in settings, pushed after updates, or quietly running in the background while you’re just trying to use your computer.
And if you never check them, Windows is more than happy to keep doing it.
In this video, I’ll show you 10 Windows 11 settings and features you should check right now — the kind of stuff that can slow your PC down, clutter your system, shove junk in your face, and make Windows feel like it’s working against you instead of for you.
Some of these are annoying.
Some are sneaky.
And a few of them honestly have no business being enabled in the first place.
If your Windows 11 PC feels slower, more cluttered, more pushy, or just more irritating than it used to be… this is where you start.
Watch this before Windows makes even more decisions for you.
