its literally in the description of the vid
@@YarinsHyper I added timestamps in case you wanted to quickly go to each.
Love
our hero
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.
I just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete, even though Alt+F4 would probably work better
Oh nice tip
That TM tip is actually really useful. Thanks!
Ey man! Thanks! :D
C-A-D then TAB x4, Space bar, TAB, Down Arrow, ALT E
i love how he introduce us 25 programs in 13 minutes and not 10 programs in 30 minutes like everyone does
first download 24bs apps and delete with 25th
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.
This is super helpful, especially since this are so many programs that are impossible to know if they are trustworthy or not. Please keep this kinda content coming!
[O
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.
Honestly, this is a kinda good software list even for none gamers
Agreed
It sure is, I didn't know i needing Uninstaller for useless program.
GAMERS only on this channel
non not none
Amazing list! Please keep this kind of content coming, very helpful for trusted sources ❤
Sounds like something a verified commenter would say lmao
♥️♥️
W
I miss eRa :(
@@CactusAmigolol if you dont know that name or channel id argue you arent a gamer😴
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.
Old comment, I know, but I believe he left that on purpose because there is another one on the list that he mentioned that did the same thing.
@@fcontini and also prob cos its insanely easy to make autoclickers with it
Macros for the masses
You can also do that with the Windows Power Tools
That gets flagged a lot by anticheat and antivirus
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!"
The good is constant too and the hard work shows
Yeah I used to enjoy what culture but anymore the dam dude just makes lame jokes and talks very little about the actual games. I need some more gaming channels like this, but they can be really iffy
is this a bot response? generic praise fit for any video.
you never thought about the best tools to install?
this smells like a commercial spam comment :(
@@notjustforme8857 definitely a bot no human talks like that
Taking signatures for Falcon to become the official narrator for Gamerranx. Just like to sign
Signed
Wait he isn't consider me signed
Nah, he sucks. The stresses and extensions he puts on some words and how uninterested he sounds ruins it for me. Jake is better.
@jon3rockaholic yeah I feel like they provide different type content and that's why they are able to keep such a wide audience engaged. Falcon is my list/ do's and don't guy and Jake is my "this just in/ resulted in" guy
@@Chrondon Sounds way better than being overexcited and exaggerating everything
I’ve been gaming for thirty years now. This is the best list of game-centric programs I’ve ever seen. Subbed.
8:31 i love how you started with 20 application for pc and then increased to 25. Respect.
I never knew I needed some of these programs until now
That’s the point
Bulk uninstall is the first I think I’ll download
Yep thats why gameranx made the video
Same
@@RutgerKettle Iobit is garbage
I love these videos they are always so convenient and Ik this is programs but the game videos just encourage me to replay or revisit certain games. Thx guys
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen on this platform. THANK YOU GAMERANX
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
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.
Shift being the shortcut is WHY you want to disable it
@@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.
I never knew I needed none of these programs until now
Bought a new laptop so thank you for this! Some things to get it running
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!
1 Year deep now being/gaming on pc an this video has been a god send !, Appreciate 👏🏼
These videos are why I subbed! Great work guys. That SuperF4 is very helpful for all of my older games that freeze up like Fallout 3 lol.
Normally alt+f4 work without installing anything.
Gameranx is the only channel I still watch religiously, keep up the good work
Amazing list of programs, some I already use, some of those are really good and I never heard of, so thanks great content.
I love these kinds of videos, there is always some new program I never heard of and it is super useful
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.
This! This is exactly what I needed.
I wish I'd read this comment about a year ago when I was playing overwatch. Thank you!
Awesome
Doesnt the inbuilt sound mixer of Windows do this as well?
@@hirakchatterjee5240 yes it does......... but people are dumb af an cba to learn the basics thease days
Thank you so much for this! Hope you make additional updates to the list at times goes on with updated programs.
This is perfect timing! I'm almost done with a new PC build and I needed programs for it
Great. Have fun on the pc :)
A note on #9, notepad++: another great thing about it is it keeps your notes through computer crashes and unexpected reboots. So if you are in a corporate environment and weekly patching reboots your computer while you were logged in, whatever was in notepad++ is retained while normal notepad or most text editors would lose that data permanently.
The compare add-in in so choice!
i
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 !!!
❤️
😎
I was waiting the whole time for you to mention Everything. It's so good!
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.
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.
Treesize is also very good
my fav is space sniffer for that
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.
I hit the like button very rarely, but if I could i'd hit it five times for this video, congrats for this content man!!! I'll be checking your channel coz this was Awesome!
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.
pro tip: notepad++ has a dark mode ;)
ok is there an option to sync with the windows theme
pro tip: Atom is better
thanks Walter H - all this time i had no idea lol
@@threepe0 Fact: Notepad++ starts up faster even with multiple tabs open, extremely useful on pc ranges from very low to mid end.
Atom is very nice, but notepad++ does the job faster for me.
HUGE amount if interesting info for me.
I actually made a txt file on my desktop with listed on as much as 10 of your suggestions!
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I didn’t know how much I needed this and I’m not even gaming at the moment
It’s that time of the year gameranx updates the lists and I love it
Gaming for 20 years and the game & device support advanced significantly that you don't have to use most of these anymore. Thank god for that!
bold of you to tell you don't need ANY of these.
i'm pretty sure i need my Keepass, GeForce Experience, Everything, MSI Afterburner, RTSS
how tf game and device support advancements would help me with password managing instead of Keepass?
@@stclaws9580 Fair enough with Keepass. Most of these then. I don't think you need Geforce Experience to anything else than driver updates.
@@Joe321Joe _convenient_ driver updates are enough for me to install geforce experience.
But i actually need it also for shadowplay recordings of my gameplay.
I agree with you. A lot of this just going to bloat your environment.
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.
Honestly, I'm pumped you guys made this, I just got a PC this year, and I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING
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.
Same. Super nice to see after years of Mac lyfe.
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.
"Every gamer" does NOT need any of that. Not fit for this list.
@@Massive-3D cringe
@@Massive-3D I'm pretty sure "every gamer" wants a free FPS boost
@@Massive-3D As Someone Who Is Part of The "Every Gamer" List I Can Confirm I Need DXVK to Play GTA 4 Properly.
This type of video is so helpful, I am brand new to pc gaming and have been looking for this. I have no clue what I am doing!
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).
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
TreeSize Free is another great utility for seeing what's taking up your hard drive space. Pretty fast too.
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.
Starting up my gaming channel with several softwares from this list. You guys are my inspiration and the best. Content Legends
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.
Everyone who's deep into modding Skyrim and even Witcher is saying stay away from Vortex mod manager lmao
hmm I have like 10gb of mods on Skyrim and there's been no problems with Vortex
@@LexxMachinima Same, Vortex is all I've used and I'm not really inclined to abandon what I'm comfortable with while it still works.
This was a great video, gameranx! One of my favorite channels honestly!
Thanks
Amazing video, really appreciate it. Would love to see some more similar content like this time to time. Thank you Falcon!
i'm so happy to be able to spam shift while watching :D
This is one of the best lists I've ever seen, I've needed a bunch of these programs in my life for such a long time, some of them I didn't even know would exist
You serious????????
@@subseeker yea, somehow I only knew of like one of these, the rest are gold and I even forgot the one I knew. Great list
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
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.
Lumia Stream is another good one for smart lights like Philips hue, Nanoleaf, Lifx, etc.
Ooh I have nanoleaf and hue play.. I need to check this out.
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.
Probably, this one of the most helpful videos in the channel, thank you so much, guys.
In my opinion one through four are a must. Thanks for the video.
More like this please! Thank you!
I dont even have a pc and am still watching this lmao
Why no pc?
@@arbor8445 maybe he plays on console
@@shac0le and what about day to day stuff like MS Office and Paint?
@@PurooRoy a lot of people that have to use computers for work or school use computers at work or school. Most people don’t use paint
@@arbor8445 So idiots can ask why..
I'm still beginner at Pc's and don't know lot of from anything. I just reacently started to learn how to download mods witch is difficult as hell. These videos are really helpful.
Ended up installing a few programs from the list, never thought some TH-cam video will make me do that.
Parsec is one I use when I want to play a game with some friends, but either the game only has LAN co-op or I lack the funds to buy the game outright
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.
Getting a new laptop soon and this video got recommended to me at the right time. Thanks!
Xlink Kai, wow...that is still around...last time I needed that was for MHFU
I also like "Dual Monitor Tool" which allows you to create you own custom shortcuts to lock the mouse to 1 or more monitors.
Some games I play ESPECIALLY FPS games the mouse will shoot off to another monitor and this allows you to lock that mouse to either 1 monitor or if you're using multiple monitors.
It has lots of other things as well, but the mouse lock is mostly what I use.
Great informative video, to the point with easy to understand description of each software. 👍
If you're planning on modding a Bethesda game, Mod Organizer 2 is superior to Vortex in basically every way
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.
As a former MO2 and Nexusmod organizer user, I disagree. I prefer Vortex’s smooth features , especially mod load order rules, over MO2.
I have both. Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim and Vortex for games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Kingmaker.
@@majorgear1021 I avoided MO2's mod order rules for the longest time, but once I actually looked into them it took two minutes to figure out.
omg joy to key man! I can finally play Legacy Of Kain again!!
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.
@@marshinz5696 well the list is for free programs, why would they include rewasd?
One of the most useful videos. Thanks for all the recs!
your voice is very calming, I watch these videos to help me sleep 🙏
Definitely will help me when I order my laptop.
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
LOVED the Wiz Tree recommendation. Thanks!!!
This list is brilliant. Saving for future reference.
Very useful video. Well worth the cost of subscribing! Thanks for taking the time and expending the effort to put this together! gameranx rocks!
I love GeForce experience, makes recording games sooooo easy.
It doesn't record audio if you're using virtual surround, unfortunately.
You can just use Xbox game bar which is already on your pc
@@kristianyoung2429 Nah I’m good
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
Thanks so much for the DisplayFusion shoutout! We really appreciate it!
Great video I use at least a dozen of them already but there are some I overlooked. Great video!
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.
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
I don't know who you are or what the channel's background is but this list is really good. Keep it up. I'll check other videos on the channel and will sub if it's what I need :D
Thank you for making this video gamerankx. It was helpful.
Friend's List: 0
I hear it .
A very useful program for using a PS4 controller on PC is DS4Windows (DS4 in Linux), it's really easy to use and gets updated constantly!
Pro tip: To pair the controller hold PS button + share button for a few seconds, light will start to flash, then just add it as a normal bluetooth device on your PC. It seems that with some versions if the program is running at the time you pair it, you need to close and open it again for it to detect it, other versions work perfect by pairing while the app is open
Also, just closing Steam may be all you need to do if a game natively supports PS controllers. I was using DS4Windows to use my DualSense with FFXIV, but eventually figured out that I don't need any software for that; I just needed to close Steam so it'd stop hijacking my controller.
Great programs list dudes, and very helpful. Keep posting.
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!
Omg, the name of this list should be “programs that every gamer should avoid”
Welcome to 2024
lol i was here just to see how much of a gamer i am.
can't believe i failed miserably.
Awesome video, this was great advice. I am a coder and I'm shocked how many of these I didn't know I needed
5 programs were new to me but damn they are so good, thank you so much :3
Wow! Now I just need a pc to download these programs! ... (I actually do have one lol)
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
I love the guy, He brings the honesty. Especially with regards to Nvidia video drivers giving people problems, sometimes they’re just total crap.
