This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable "Group by Type" view on the Processes page in Task Manager for your account in Windows 11.
Task Manager can be used to view and manage your processes, performance statistics, app history, startup apps, users, process details, and services in Windows 11.
By default, the Processes page in Task Manager will group by type processes under the Apps, Background processes, and Windows processes group names. Task Manager displays the count of processes next to each group name, providing you with a quick view of active processes per type.
If you don't want to see processes grouped by type, you can disable "Group by Type" to see all processes in one list instead.

This tutorial will show you how to remove "AI Overview" from your Google Search results in any browser on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
With AI Overviews in Google Search, it’s easier than ever for people to find the information they need and discover relevant sites across the web, which opens up more opportunities to connect with publishers, businesses and creators.
AI Overviews are a generative AI-powered feature that provide quick summaries and key information. Some users find them distracting, while others prefer to see search results in the traditional format.
AI Overviews are a core feature of Google Search and cannot be turned off.
However, you can use workarounds to remove seeing AI Overviews (when available) in your Google...

This tutorial will show you how to Initialize a new "unknown" RAW disk in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
If you add a new disk to your PC, and it doesn't show up in File Explorer, you might need to initialize the disk before you can use it.
You can only initialize a drive that's not yet formatted. When you initialize a disk, everything on the disk is erased. This action prepares the disk for use by Windows. After you initialize your disk, you can format it, and then store files on it.
Windows uses the partition style to understand how to access the data on the disk.
When you initialize a disk, you can choose to use a MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) Partition Style for the disk.
Most PCs use the GUID Partition...
This tutorial will show you how to clean (wipe) a disk drive to remove all partition (volume) formatting information on it to un-initialize and erase all data on the disk in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
When you clean a disk, the disk will show as "Unknown" and "Not Initialized" with "Unallocated" space afterwards. This will be a completely wiped out RAW disk ready to be initialized and create a new partition (volume) on the disk. Clean is a good option to quickly wipe and start fresh on a disk.
You can clean all a disk instead of clean to also secure erase the disk. Clean all specifies that each and every sector on the disk is set to zero, which completely deletes all data contained on the disk. It can take about an hour per 320 GB to...
This tutorial will show you different ways to create a new partition (volume) using the "unallocated" space on a disk in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
When a connected internal or external hard disk has unallocated space on it, you will need to create a New Simple Volume from the unallocated space to create a RAW partition (volume) and then format as a drive with an assigned drive letter.
When you format a drive, it erases all existing data on the drive and applies a file system to allow the operating system to read and write data on the drive.
Windows 10/11 supports the FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, and ReFS file systems for drive volumes or partitions on a disk.
When you format a drive, you will enter a volume label and select the...
This tutorial will show you how to add (show) or remove (hide) the drives showing twice in the navigation pane of File Explorer for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Removable drives are shown as separate groups in the navigation pane of File Explorer by default in addition to being shown under the This PC group in the navigation pane.
OS drives and fixed drives (ex: internal drives) will only be shown under This PC, and not separately in the navigation pane.
You must be signed in as an administrator to add or remove duplicate removable drives in the navigation pane of File Explorer.
This will not affect drives listed under the This PC group in the navigation pane.
EXAMPLE: Duplicate removable drives in navigation pane of...
This tutorial will show you how to add "AutoPlay" to the Desktop context menu for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The AutoPlay context menu allows users to directly open AutoPlay settings in either Settings or Control Panel. This context menu can be handy if you change your AutoPlay settings often.
AutoPlay lets you choose an action for different kinds of media when you plug in a device or insert media. You can set AutoPlay to open different kinds of content, such as photos, music, and video on different kinds of media, such as drives, CDs, DVDs, cameras, and phones. For example, you can use AutoPlay to select an app that will automatically open photos on a removable drive when you plug it into your PC. With AutoPlay, you...
This tutorial will show you how to boot a Windows 11 VHDX file natively to dual boot with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Native Boot allows you to create a virtual hard disk (VHDX), install Windows to it, and then boot it up, either on your PC side-by-side with your existing installation, or on a new device.
A native-boot VHDX can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system. This differs from a scenario where a VHDX is connected to a virtual machine on a computer that has a parent operating system.
Native boot for Windows 11 requires the .vhdx format, not the .vhd format.
VHDXs can be applied to PCs or devices that have no other installations of Windows, without a virtual...
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable AutoPlay for all drives for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
AutoPlay lets you choose an action for different kinds of media when you plug in a device or insert media. You can set AutoPlay to open different kinds of content, such as photos, music, and video on different kinds of media, such as drives, CDs, DVDs, cameras, and phones. For example, you can use AutoPlay to select an app that will automatically open photos on a removable drive when you plug it into your PC. With AutoPlay, you don't have to open the same app or reselect preferences every time you plug in a certain device.
When the Shell detects the insertion of new media or the attachment of a hot-plug device, the...
This tutorial will show you different ways to format a connected internal or external drive with an existing partition or volume already assigned a drive letter in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
When you format a drive, it erases all existing data on the drive and applies a file system to allow the operating system to read and write data on the drive.
Windows 10/11 supports the FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, and ReFS file systems for drive volumes or partitions on a disk.
When you format a drive, you will enter a volume label and select the capacity, file system, allocation unit size, full or quick format, and to enable file and folder compression or not.

This tutorial will show you how to allow or block push notifications for sites in Microsoft Edge for your account or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Push notifications allow sites to display notifications to alert users outside the context of the webpage and the browser, keeping you informed of new messages or alerts and allowing sites to improve user engagement.
Website notifications appear in the lower right corner of your screen and are also displayed in the Notification Center. When notifications are turned on (allowed) for a website, they will still appear even if Microsoft Edge is closed.
Microsoft Edge will ask your permission by default before allowing any website to send notifications.
