Preach! Most people need more resources like this, and you guys have a large audience that could definitely benefit from more maintenance tips and training programs.
Just like disabling Sticky Keys, enabling the Always On Top in options on Task Manager makes it easier for me to force close games that become frozen/unresponsive because TM is usually stuck behind a frozen game you can't minimize.
Nice to see some PC focused content on this channel and it would be even nicer to see more! I was actually unfamiliar with a little over half of the programs mentioned and even though they aren't of any use to me now, it's good to know they exist for when I need them. Thanks.
I think a big one you're missing is AutoHotKey. At its most basic, you can bind keys together. So if a game wants you to use the P key and won't let you rebind that, you can map R to P and so whenever you press R, it sends a P to the game. You can also have a single key do multiple key presses, which can help prevent RSI for some action games! It's also free and open source.
gameranx is literally one of the best channels. Actually bringing up the content of general interest or maybe just for fun. I never thought about this topic but now when i saw it i said, "YES! THIS exactly!"

A fast and easy way to turn on or off sticky keys is to just repeatedly press shift five times, unless you have manually deactivated it, it's the default shortcut to turn it on or off.
@@Jymireyes1 And doing it once gives you direct access to disable both sticky keys and the shortcut. The only reason why you would have to look up how to disable sticky keys any other way is if you deactivated the shortcut, but somehow had sticky keys activated.
Another program I can add to this is Auslogics Disk Defragger if you're using a hard disk. It rearranges the entire disk and returns it to its initial speed, a good maintenance tool.
Keepass and Ninite are things that I've been using for years and I've been reffering to them under so many Videos already. Finally they are getting the Attention that they deserve
One program I would recommend is Audio Router. It lets you route different programs to different audio outputs. Like I could play a game with the game audio coming from my monitor speakers and watch this video with the video's audio coming from my TV, even though the game and TH-cam/Chrome don't support that.

Seriously thank you for all your videos.. they help so much with purchases.. And oddly enough almost every game opinion you have . I seem to agree and feel the same way … way to keep it interesting boys !!!
Only thing I'd say about recording with the Nvidia software, is it does record at a constant frame rate. So if you're thinking of recording a long video using it, it will eventually not sync with the video. To fix this, download 'handbrake' and it will change your footage to a constant framerate.
Honestly such a great and useful video ive had a PC for a while now after growing up with a mac so im not the most knowledgeable. This is such a Valid video appreciate it.
This is so useful for me since I'm a total noob with PC gaming. I've only been playing with consoles, and everything even modding is still something I haven't done.
I wish to submit DXVK to the list. DXVK converts DX games to Vulkan, allowing you to play them on Linux. It also works on Windows, because Vulkan is generally a better API it actually improves the performance of many games. The largest difference I saw was in AC: Odyssey gaining 20+ frames.
absolutely a great assortment, and some I didn't even know about or have. Whoever did this list up, my hats off to you! Especially the Wiztree, been hoping for a good windirstat replacement for sometime.
Before I say this, let me be clear, it was 100% user error but I screwed up my computer badly from not knowing the proper way to use DDU. It took me weeks to get everything back in working order and all of the motherboard drivers and other things i deleted.
Im so torn because I use both, and even started with the og mod organizer. I like Vortex because it feels more user friendly but my god. When you have to mess with load order or individual files within certain mods, its the worst. So then I go back to MO2 until it starts hurting my eyes 😂 Its a cyclical hell
@@derrickgregg7639 I'm no pro-modder and have only really gotten into it for Skyrim to the point where the vanilla game is almost unbearable now. But I've just been making do with Vortex to install and let it sort out most things and if I feel the load order needs to be adjusted (or am told it does by Vortex, pretty sure that happens sometimes... maybe...) I boot up LOOT and overall I've not had any issues but since Vortex has the integration with the site and is a tool I've used nice before it was called Vortex (a change which kinda threw me for a while) I'm kinda iffy about moving to a new mod manager when the one I'm comfortable with is still doing what I want it to.
You guys have probably heard this before but ds4 windows is great for paring ps4 controllers to pc. Working in bluetooth as well with the lightbar being fully customizable, touch pad working like a mouse. Plus it works on all games unlike being limited to steam
Some of these programs slow down your PC and always run in the background, with telemetry, advertising and “monitoring” data. Processes will add up, and are persistent software, meaning you can’t really turn it off at all. Thus presenting security concerns and constant PC resource consumption.
this is a lot more technical than I usually get but it is very nice to have a source for these kinds of programs just in case. ty for making this kind of content.
There was a couple of things that I'll certainly have to add to my list of programs especially super f4 after having a ton of issues with fallout 4 hopefully that will make life simpler, I would recommend Mod Organizer 2 over Vortex simply due to ease of use, after many years of console gaming I finally changed over to pc last year and started out using Vortex and I discovered how it could be frustrating to set up if your using a long list of mods with games like Skyrim and fallout but with MO2 it was much more intuitive and simpler to use.
When choosing a password manager. Consider using one that syncs everything over your phone, pc and browser automatically. Saves ton of time, but the passwords are stored in a cloud, so there's always that risk.
thank you for this video i learned of more than 10 programs that i didnt know existed or that i even wanted until you guys showed me the light. it is much needed. love most of your content but videos like this are truly appreciated
Just a tip: If you're playing Bethesda games, Mod Organizer 2 is MUCH better than Vortex. It's not as hard as it looks and once you get the hang of it, it's actually much easier to use than Vortex. Also, a lot of experienced modders use it so if you ever need help with anything, you'll have an easier time finding it.
can I search by category with that software? like filter out all JPEG files , pdf files etc. I'm asking because I forgot where exactly I saved some pics 2 years ago on my PC
They actually left the best Remapper off the list. It's called ReWASD. It's not free but I never liked JtK and I used Xpadder from 2008 to 2018. ReWASD beats them both.
Nice list its great to see open source stuff get more recognition also I used to recommended notepad++ until a lot of people were telling me they were getting viruses and bloatware because they simply clicked on yes for every pop up they see 🙄 and what most people dont know is that some of those are ads/installers for third party software that arent moderated by the developers of Notepad++ I still prefer recommending VScode or Atom, if you want to go open source, for anything from simple file text editing to actual programing or Ive also heard a lot of good things from Vim
25: For those who aren't afraid of the commandline, Windows Package Manager (winget) the is a good option officially made by Microsoft. In fact, I think it even comes pre-installed. 19: The reason is in the name for the Settings category. 9: Another alternative is Visual Studio Code. 5: Valve has had that feature built into Steam since SteamInput became a thing. 2: PowerToys Run.
PowerToys Run isn't really good, it's just a less-shit windows search and Everything isn't the same type of app really. A fairer comparison would be against Listary, but Listary blows PowerToys Run out of the water
Adding to the list: - *Antimicro* : Free Allows the user to add controller capability to old games that dont allow you to use a controller or are terribly configured. (Im looking at you Pitfall) - *Streamlabs OBS* : Free This is just an alternative to OBS studio that works the exact same way as normal OBS but isnt seriously unintuitive like OBS. - *Fraps* : Free for stated purpose Want a framerate counter that works almost always on games that arent from Steam? Fraps. - *Auto Keyboard Presser* : Paid ish (has trial) Dont wanna spam the run button/harvest button (Last Oasis & GTA) auto key presser allows you to set a keybind that toggles timed continuous key presses on demand.
Sticky keys are very helpful for disabled people who might be one handed or have troubles holding down multiple keys at a time. So sticky keys are actually quite wonderful.
@@LordStarkillerII I tried it and it just takes away way too much control from the user, even with 50 mods I don't think that it's at all, I'd only recommend it if you're only gonna download like super simple mods otherwise don't bother with imo
Excellent video. One of the best I have seen in the last 2 years. I already use some of these programs, but found some here that I really need and didn't know they existed.
There isn't a super like button or anything like that, but because this video is mega helpful, I'mma comment and get a lil' mo' YT traffic to it. Keep up the great work guys.
I talked to my girlfriend about adding more programs for her future PC we are going to build soon, and I came across this! We are definitely gonna use them! Please make more content like this! Thank you!
As for nvidia profile inspector, note that RivaTuner StatisticsServer or AMD Adrenalin/Relive also let you set an fps limit (framerate target control). So if you only install profile inspector for that purpose, it may already be filled by other software (frtc might require excludive fullscreen not just borderless fullscreen).
A lot of very good suggestion, I got 2 news programs that I disnt know about and found useful. One thing, you can use STEAM controller setup for non steam game, it very easy to setup. Good video
I'd like to add "Bluetooth Audio Receiver". Lets your PC show up and connect to your phone as a Bluetooth speaker. This lets you route your phone's audio to your PC speakers/headset.
Super helpful. I used to use some the back in the day but they somehow fell off my list or just got left by the wayside. Great to see that song of my old faves are still going. Thanks a bunch!

When your a big Skyrim Modder and you see they have both Nemesis and FNIS installed. lol
And using Vortex rather than mod organizer 2 lmao
@@bananacheese6864 that's not as bad, I kinda like vortex
lol I don't understand lol
@@LordStarkillerII I tried it and it just takes away way too much control from the user, even with 50 mods I don't think that it's at all, I'd only recommend it if you're only gonna download like super simple mods otherwise don't bother with imo
@@bananacheese6864 weird never had a problem with it
Excellent video. One of the best I have seen in the last 2 years. I already use some of these programs, but found some here that I really need and didn't know they existed.
Another program I would add to the list is X360ce it lets you use any controller 3rd part or otherwise. In games that allow controller playability
Great list. But for number 21, i would prefer Space Sniffer over Wiz Tree. So much easier to see whats eating up drive space.
Mod Organizer 2 is millions of times better than Vortex for mods.
Starting up my gaming channel with several softwares from this list. You guys are my inspiration and the best. Content Legends
Omg, the name of this list should be “programs that every gamer should avoid”
Welcome to 2024
5 programs were new to me but damn they are so good, thank you so much :3
lol i was here just to see how much of a gamer i am.
can't believe i failed miserably.
Throttlestop is another must have to play around with the CPU
2024 update?
Probably, this one of the most helpful videos in the channel, thank you so much, guys.
A thing that not many people seem to know is that you can launch any game (or program, for that matter) through Steam, along with gamepad support.
Thank you so much. I didn’t know how much I needed this and I’m not even gaming at the moment
Also add ISLC (Intelligent Standby List Cleaner) into your gaming. Huge help for stuttering when you play the same game for hours 👍
did not expect this list to be this good.
SuperF4 is truly a blessing! thank you guys
your voice is very calming, I watch these videos to help me sleep 🙏
Ended up installing a few programs from the list, never thought some TH-cam video will make me do that.
Omg you made my life so much easier with #3
This list is brilliant. Saving for future reference.
There isn't a super like button or anything like that, but because this video is mega helpful, I'mma comment and get a lil' mo' YT traffic to it. Keep up the great work guys.
Thanks
I talked to my girlfriend about adding more programs for her future PC we are going to build soon, and I came across this! We are definitely gonna use them! Please make more content like this! Thank you!
As for nvidia profile inspector, note that RivaTuner StatisticsServer or AMD Adrenalin/Relive also let you set an fps limit (framerate target control).
So if you only install profile inspector for that purpose, it may already be filled by other software (frtc might require excludive fullscreen not just borderless fullscreen).
A lot of very good suggestion, I got 2 news programs that I disnt know about and found useful. One thing, you can use STEAM controller setup for non steam game, it very easy to setup. Good video
Treesize free is also good to see what's using so much space on your pc.
I'd like to add "Bluetooth Audio Receiver". Lets your PC show up and connect to your phone as a Bluetooth speaker. This lets you route your phone's audio to your PC speakers/headset.
Super helpful. I used to use some the back in the day but they somehow fell off my list or just got left by the wayside. Great to see that song of my old faves are still going.
Thanks a bunch!
