    Windows 11 has many dismal and infiltration default settings, but the good news is that you do not need to keep with them. While I can’t fit them into a guide, I can at least point you in the right direction. To avoid annoyance, change them immediately.

    Unnecessary startup apps

    Startup apps automatically launch as your computer boot. Some apps ready to move from Gate-Go may work, they can slow down the startup process and later consume system resources, leading to dull performance. Fortunately, you can easily disable them with a few clicks.

    To find the startup apps, press Win+I to open the setting app, and go to the app> Startup. From the list, togle any app that you do not want to launch on startup.

    If you do not need news, weather and other materials in your taskbar, the widget is nothing more than a annoying distraught. Not only this, but they can also affect your PC performance, especially during the startup. This is more noticeable if you are using one with low-end computer or low RAM and CPU.

    To disable the widget, right-click on the taskbar to an empty space and choose “taskbar settings” in the menu. From there, simply togue the “widgets” option.

    Distracted information

    Windows can sometimes bomb you with constant alerts and updates, disrupt your workflow and concentration. Notifications can be useful for important messages and reminder, but default notification settings often require tism for any disruption.

    You can temporarily disable the notification by temporarily disabled by temporarily disabled by clicking on the notification icon in the taskbar or pressing the Win+N and on the do not disturb mode. It will turn blue when the mode is turned on.

    To disable the information completely in Windows 11, go to System> Notification. Then, close the togle next to the “information”, and you should not get them.

    Forced use of microsoft account

    When installing Windows, Microsoft made it difficult to bypass the Microsoft account construction process. If you created and created one to move the process of installing Windows, but you don’t need it, you can easily disable it. This will use you a local account on Windows.

    To do this, press Win+I to open the setting app, and go to the accounts> your information. In the account setting section, click on the link “Sign with a local account”.

    From there, just follow the stages of signing out of your microsoft account. Keep in mind that some features, such as Microsoft Store and Onedrive, may need to be signed with your microsoft account to use them.

    Edge as default browser

    Microsoft is on an aggressive push to use microsoft edge. So, naturally, this is a default browser on your Windows computer. But if you like chrome, firefox, or any other browser, you can easily replace the default browser that you use.

    To do this, go to Settings> Apps> Default App. In the list of apps, find the browser and click the new default you want (eg, chrome, firefox, or brave). Finally, click on the “Set Default” button.

    Set the default app on Windows.

    Next to a checkmark button shows that it is now default. You can also do this for other types, to make them default for things like text editing, watching PDF and playing media files.

    Windows update on limited internet

    Windows updates are essential for safety and functionality, but they can quickly consume your bandwidth, especially if you are working with data cap. When left alone, your Windows computer will download them in the background, but you can control the process so that you can decide when to download the Windows update.

    To do this, press Win+I to open the setting app, go to the network and the Internet> Wi-Fi> Manage the known network. From the list of networks, select the person you want to limit and turn on the “Metering Connection” togle.

    Enable Contentment-Window-1

    By doing this, Windows optimize data usage on your PC, which means that many apps will not be automatically updated on your system. However, some important security updates can still be downloaded on their own.
