Hey Leila, today i received a raise of a little more then 20 euro per month after tax. This due to my work in excel (creating dashboards and automate a lot) I learned soooo much of your video's so here is your fair share! Thank you sooo much!
I love the way you talk about features that others might like, even if you yourself choose not to use them. It just shows how much you are trying to be helpful by recognizing that we all have different needs. Love your channel.
I have 2 suggestions. WinMerge: allows you to compare the files in 2 or even 3 , directories/ drives. Very useful to verify things like a mirror copy. Or to help you keep 2 different computers synchronized with the same files. Second is WinDirStat. It gives you an accounting by directory of drive space consumed. It helps you find large files you forgot about that are eating up your drive space. It also has a nice graphical representation of the files on the drive. I can’t say enough good things about this app.
You should include Microsoft's Zoomit in this list. Not for its ability to zoom in or capture but for the ability to create a layer to draw on your screen while in Teams/Zoom/etc meetings. Love your videos. Keep up the wonderful work.
Yeah, for any presenter, SysInternals ZoomIt is a must have. Zoom in, annotate, a count down timer....must have for presenters. LOVE that Russinovich guy. What a stud he is.
@@zadrazil87 It looks capable, but more than what the job calls for. I don't need a full blown annotation program. I just need to quickly zoom in and out, and draw attention w/o the overhead of bloat for stuff I'll never use. I'm not sure why "it's not a MSFT product" is relevant though. I mean I already paid them $$$ for Windows license. If you're a MSFT hater and you're not using Windows, I guess it makes sense. not sure ppink runs under gnome/KDEs of the world.
@@hansangb I deleted it and had it for a while, it came out in 2006 and is pretty old and clunky. Zooming with Win + "+" works too without a programme. Ppink is an open-source Programm for Win, on Linux there are other options. The handling is better, its easier to use and open source. Zoomit shares similarities with it and is quite similar just more modern. No bloat, just everything a zoomit user might need. Also not using microsoft and then commmenting on a windows video with a specific windows programme would not make sense.
Leila, you're a star!! I'm going to look at a VPN to get past geoblocking which is preventing me from watching streaming TV services in Europe, e.g. "Inspector Montalbano" on French TV, thanks again😀
Hi. Thanks for the tips, saw something that might be useful. One suggestion, Everything. I just recently saw this channel on my recommendations, so I haven't watched too many of these, but in case you haven't covered this... Everything is a windows search tool that finds the results as you're typing. And it only takes a few seconds to "index" on the first start. Only downside is that I have yet to find out a way to stop UAC asking for a permission on every windows start (other than turning UAC off). Well, other downside is that it can't search from network drives, but that's not a big deal for most users.
Introduction: 10 seconds with a nice joke that made me smile. Then straight to the point. Incredibly useful apps followed by a very clear and concise explaination on how to pratically use them. I just downloaded 4 out of 5 apps, when I usually discard 9 out of 10 of what other creators suggest. Just, beautiful.
Thank you so much. I was hesitating to watch this clip, but I definitely found something I could use, and learn and best of all, FREE. Thank you so much.
Thanks Leila for sharing this! Can't use them on the Office Laptop though, but useful to suggest to someone and would go for them on "Personal" Laptop in future! 😊
Hi, you might enjoy benefits from portable apps that can run off an usb. You install the portable apps platform first. Then, you can add apps to the usb-and settings and configuration files are all also saved to the same usb! So Good.
I've used Greenshot for years cause I just couldn't find a better screen capture program. Until now. ShareX looks like it can do all that Greenshot can do and quite a bit more!
For a slightly lighter, more modern looking screenshot software that is still feature-similar to ShareX, I love Greenshot. Looks very similar in functionality.
I'm also a Greenshot user. I've been using it for several years now. I will definitely check out ShareX due to it has several features I wish Greenshot had.
Agree. I also wanted to write about GreenShot. Actually, following the video I tried ShareX and although it seems with more rich features, it kind of misses the target. While most of us just want to take pictures and add some notes/guidance, the app looks like something that requires a special learning course
Hey Leila, Just seen my first video on your channel... I thought I knew a lot after working through windows since version '3' but you've opened my eyes.. You've got me now !!!!
streamWriter is a godsend. I was having some problems with the equalizer but a few minutes later, I accidentally clicked on 'open stream' and voila, it opened it in VLC where I had my EQ tuned to my liking! :D
Great quality video as always, thx for sharing. I use ShareX and Handbrake every day. I use Handbrake CLI batch, just by droppin video file(s) on batch file
GoGoGo 2 mln subs Leila! :D I am Excel MVP as well and every week I send one of your videos to 25,000 people from Poland in the newsletter. See you at one of the Excel Creator Call! :)
Thanks a lot Leila for this video. Amazing I just installed this software ShareX on my computer myself after a long search, and configured it as required. As usual, I so much enjoy your voice Dear. Keep it up!
i love Everything. Everything is a piece of Windows PC software that bypasses Windows search with a lightning quick interface and real-time results for all of the files and folders in your local storage device or any subsection of it.
What great tools! Thank you so much. Also looked at your previous video and found the filesync app. Awesome. Do you also have a top notch free password manager handy?
I have just subscribed to your channel, great tips for a "basic" PC user like myself. I just today upgraded to Win. 11 and really liking it so far. The only hassle I found was I learned the "hard" (time consuming) way was to disable screensaver. I started the whole process and went off and did other things. When I came back to check on progress 30 minutes later or so, screensaver started it all over again. Once I disabled S. Saver it worked fine. A lot of programs seem to run faster and smoother now.
O and how I used to do that, too. The hardest thing was to avoid the commercials and the DJ's voice. Very glad those days are gone. Best of all, the recordings are also gone. : )
Thanks for these tips, I use several of these across your past two videos about free Windows apps, and will check out O&O and ShareX, plus Zoomit that others are mentioning. Maybe my next comment is best for your last video where you covered FreeFileSync, but it pertains to backups in Windows 11, which I think was released after your last video. I had been using Windows File History for incremental backup to an external drive, but it seems that MS is fazing it out. W11 lacks the W10 interface for File History - you have to use Control Panel. So, after considering both FreeFileSync and Duplicati 2 recently, I started with Duplicati 2 and just stayed with it. It's really simple and clean, and does mostly the same thing as File History, with some more comprehensive features, including cloud if desired. And here's a tip. File History in W11 has unfortunately lost the ability to add any folders for backup beyond the defaults (user folders and libraries). But a workaround came to me: I created a new library called something like "More for Backup" and added the specific folders into it that I wanted backed up. It works automatically without having to mess around with any File History settings, and it actually works better than when I used to use the "add folder" option in W10, as that was sometimes a little wonky in resetting whenever I changed drives or turned File History on/off. Finally, I wonder if backing up in general (cloud and local) might be something to cover in a future video? Thanks again for the informative content!
Thank you for your great tips. I searched for "HandBrake" in Microsoft Store, but it did not show up. Is it no longer available or should I find it somewhere else? Thanks again
@@LeilaGharani I am late 70s kid. I remember people used to do it. And some people & store owners did these recordings. I am in India and I have seen Police used to bust these stores and people for copyright/piracy issues. So I really doubt that there is no copyright/piracy issues, even it is for personal use.
Superb tips you give - most excellent indeed and when I can afford to I will donate some $$ to your excellent channel. money bit short at moment due to me being a carer for my mum
Send Anywhere, is a must. Send videos, one or many at the same time. So far I have not been told, that my videos are too large. You must have the app installed on both the sender pc/mobile and the receiving pc/mobile. Add the videos you want to send and click send, the code you will get, must be typed on the receiving unit within 10 minutes and the transfer starts. If it for some reason stops, send it again and it will start transferring where it stopped.

Leila is my best teacher.
When she's talking, you never loose your time.
Thanks a lot.
You are a ROCK Star!!! Can I say that for a computer geek?
No other teacher could ever say I wasn't paying attention. And in school, I wasn't paying attention... A LOT.

Thank you sooo much!
Very nice, JM!
Ohhhh congratulations! And thank you. You did the hard work!
Outstanding. Congratulations!
Woooooooooowwwwww
Hey could you share the video link where you learned automating excel on this channel?
I would really appreciate.
Thanks for sharing. My favorite free apps:
- Davinci Resolve (Video editor)
- Audacity (Audio editor)
- Gimp (Photo editor)
- OBS Studio (Video recording and live streaming)
- Bitwarden (Password manager)
Thanks for sharing!
Notepad ++ is the second app I add on a new Windows install. Chrome or Firefox is first.
Bitwarden is amazing! I love it!
Audacity is fantastic!
Bitwarden is great. I used to use Dashlane, but it became buggy after an update, so I switched to Bitwarden.

This is already a feature in teams i found this week. Its a button on the top of the screen when sharing screen.
Yeah, for any presenter, SysInternals ZoomIt is a must have. Zoom in, annotate, a count down timer....must have for presenters. LOVE that Russinovich guy. What a stud he is.
ppink is muuuuuuuch more powerful and is open source! Zoomit can not keep up with ppink. Also it is a non Microsoft product.
@@zadrazil87 It looks capable, but more than what the job calls for. I don't need a full blown annotation program.

0:11 shoutout for mentioning antispy tools, and that too, so awesome
i know and am using sharex and handbrake already, and they are nice too (:

Great video. Thanks for these 5 tips. BTW, where did you get your "I don't give a sheet" coffee mug? Love that.
Glad you like it. It's our own creation: xelplus.creator-spring.com/
Great video. Do more of these free windows 10 apps! 🙂
Will do!
You're touching another million now. Hopefully you'll make another casual video just like the 1st million.
Thank you so much.
I was hesitating to watch this clip, but I definitely found something I could use, and learn and best of all, FREE.
Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Dear Ms. Leila Gharani,
Thank you for introducing the apps. I could really use some of the apps. I always find your videos very helpful.☝☝☝☝
Thanks Leila for sharing this! Can't use them on the Office Laptop though, but useful to suggest to someone and would go for them on "Personal" Laptop in future! 😊

It's really great. Hope you'll like it.
Love this content and beautiful presenter...thanks again (grabbed Handbrake and ShareX)
Many thanks Leila, really pretious list. I am goig to use O&O shutup10 and PrivadoVPN, while Handbrake is already on my PC. Thank you again
For a slightly lighter, more modern looking screenshot software that is still feature-similar to ShareX, I love Greenshot. Looks very similar in functionality.
I'm also a very happy Greenshot user.
I started with Greenshot and moved to shareX. Greenshot still has a place in my heart though
I'm also a Greenshot user. I've been using it for several years now. I will definitely check out ShareX due to it has several features I wish Greenshot had.

It really is!
Hey Leila, Just seen my first video on your channel... I thought I knew a lot after working through windows since version '3' but you've opened my eyes.. You've got me now !!!!
Thanks for the tips. I immediately downloaded Share X.
Thank you Leila! I have found some that I could start using and honestly didn't even realize I needed!
New Viewer, love the tip's. Also smooth move on the Steps function. It worked.
Nice change of hairstyle Leila.. Love the subtleness
Thank you!!
Thank you for your awesome information. You are a gifted Orator. Any chance you can do a clip on "resolving host issues on Chrome?" LUV YAH!!
Nice collection of cool free softwares. Well done 👍.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great info delivered with such a lovely voice.
streamWriter is a godsend. I was having some problems with the equalizer but a few minutes later, I accidentally clicked on 'open stream' and voila, it opened it in VLC where I had my EQ tuned to my liking! :D
Excellent video - thank you!
PERFECTLY explained, succinctly. Thank you!
I like Spybot Anti-Beacon better than ShutUp, myself. But as always, great presentation, Leila.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out.
I've been wanting to find something like ShareX and haven't had the time. Thanks!
To convert files between different formats but also to edit, there's a nice one called FormatFactory. It manages images, sound, video, DVD etc.
Thanks for the tip!
I am from India. really I enjoyed your video. because your speech is amazing style.
Another great video. Any such 5 mind blowing FREE Apps for Apple iOS. thanks.
This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great quality video as always, thx for sharing. I use ShareX and Handbrake every day.
I use Handbrake CLI batch, just by droppin video file(s) on batch file
I just happened across your video and I think you are amazing.

Hi Leila, and greetings from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Just discovered your channel - now I’m a new subscriber and student of yours. Best! Randy
Thank you & welcome Randy.
Thanks a lot Leila for this video. Amazing I just installed this software ShareX on my computer myself after a long search, and configured it as required.
As usual, I so much enjoy your voice Dear. Keep it up!
Glad it was helpful, Charles!
Thanks for your great videos!
ShareX And StreamWriter Was Perfect! Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed!

I love watching your channel , your tutorials. They all are very clear. Thank you very much.
Loved it. You now have a new subscriber.
Great! Welcome aboard!
knew all (used some) but the last one, looks promising, thanks
Good stuff! Glad I stumbled across this one.
What great tools! Thank you so much. Also looked at your previous video and found the filesync app. Awesome. Do you also have a top notch free password manager handy?
I recommend clipperz
No more hovering your finger over the rec/stop buttons on the stereo to record personal mixes. 😎 thank you 💕
😊
Thanks for another excellent video. These will be really useful.
very useful, and thanks

"Abgefunkt" ist ein cooler Sender (Danke fuer den Tip mit der StreamWriter App!)
👍
Thanks!
I have Snagit on my office computer and use it extensively. Sharex looks like a good substitute for the personal computer.
Fantastic! I wish I was still teaching because sharex would have saved me hours! Thank you
Thank you. That was amazing. Loving ShareX. Makes a huge difference!
Cool. Beautiful. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome Tools! Great content!! ❤👌👍
Awesome as always. Thanks so much, Leila, you are the best!!!
Thanks Leila for the useful info.
That last item is way better than holding a tape recorder up to the radio.
O and how I used to do that, too. The hardest thing was to avoid the commercials and the DJ's voice. Very glad those days are gone. Best of all, the recordings are also gone. : )
The OCR feature just changed my life. It's very fast and accurate enough.
I was using a chrome extension which was pretty slow.

As usual great and useful knowledge from your side. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant, Leila. The apps all seem very useful. More videos like this, please.
More to come!
Can you tell us which paid VPN service you use and why? Thank you !
We're using ExpressVPN. Mainly because it's fast and reliable.
Thanks Leila. That was very helpful.
Informative videos great presentation 😍🙏👍🇮🇳
Keep up the good work 😍❤️
Leila, your call to action was ingenious
😉
Alas, I have tried it on siblings and it didn't work.
Nice set of apps. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Tahnk you, Leila! Tahts helpful. There is also "Everything" .. that's the name of the app 😁
Thank you as always Leila!
Thanks a lot... a list am saving
The video compressor app looks super useful. The others do as well ... thank you once again Leila.
You're welcome 😊
Nice video Leila, thanks!
Thank you for your great tips. I searched for "HandBrake" in Microsoft Store, but it did not show up. Is it no longer available or should I find it somewhere else? Thanks again
Great video! Are there no copyright/piracy issues with using StreamWriter?
Not if it's for your own personal use. It's like in the old days when we recorded music from the radio with cassettes 😁

Thank you Leila, once again with new helping tools for us, great, keep it up.
try Caesium for compressing images, and freemake for compressing videos
أحسنتِ
Good job
Thanx
I use a freemium software called Krisp. It is a noise cancellation app that super useful for meetings.
Great work as usual Leila. ShareX has save the day than Adobe photoshop.
Hi would you be able to do a video on how make newsletter and embedd within an outlook email preferably using Microsoft apps? Thanks
Thank you for all your hard work. It’s sooooooppppp appreciated.
U Never fail to amaze us Leila,😃
Thanks for sharing useful apps.
Send Anywhere, is a must. Send videos, one or many at the same time. So far I have not been told, that my videos are too large. You must have the app installed on both the sender pc/mobile and the receiving pc/mobile. Add the videos you want to send and click send, the code you will get, must be typed on the receiving unit within 10 minutes and the transfer starts. If it for some reason stops, send it again and it will start transferring where it stopped.
Thanks for the tip!
super useful thank you so much
