Got a new laptop today. Asus G752VL. Any tips for starting out with W10? Do I really need all these apps and bloatware?

Sounds like ASUS put some image on your machine with bloat ware on it. Got any examples of the apps you're referring to?

I always delete crap I've never heard of and get back to the smallest app footprint possible.

I always go with "if I haven't used it or not within the last 3 months, delete"

Every day when we turn on our PCs, we find ourselves firing up the same software and reading the same websites.

But instead of launching apps manually or typing in the URLs, Windows opens them up automatically for us. While we're away from our computers, it sometimes performs routine maintenance by defragging the disk or scanning for viruses in Windows 10.

The tool that I use that turns your docile computer into a caring virtual experience is the Windows Task Scheduler. All you have to do is make a list of tasks you'd like to automate and configure the Task Scheduler to handle them for you. The Task Scheduler can launch any app you have installed, and gives you extensive options to specify the time intervals when you want these tasks to run.
