Enhance File Explorer Efficiency by Modifying This Windows Configuration
Windows 11 is known for its sluggish File Explorer, with users encountering issues such as unresponsive commands, random crashes, and erratic functionality. This is partly why Windows 10, despite being out of support, retains over 30% share of the desktop Windows market by version. However, there’s an easy solution to enhance the speed of your Windows File Explorer, with minimal drawbacks.
Since the era of Windows XP, Microsoft has integrated a feature that automatically scans folders, assesses files, and determines a viewing format. This feature is known as “Automatic Folder Type Discovery.” For folders filled with audio files, it selects that template, and for image files, it changes to the Picture view type. While this assists in organizing the folder more effectively, it should definitely be listed among the reasons why Windows 11 may slow down your computer. Additionally, this scanning process isn’t just a one-time event. Windows may check the folder each time it’s opened, and a extensive number of files can lead to noticeable lag. To prevent this, you can turn off Folder Type Discovery.

YouTube TV Unveils Personalized Multiview Functionality
YouTube TV is launching a customizable multiview feature for a select group of users, enabling them to pick which channels to view simultaneously. This updated interface highlights suggested channels and categories including sports, news, and entertainment. The feature is currently being released gradually, with accessibility varying as Google activates it on the server side.
Earlier this year, YouTube TV revealed intentions to enhance multiview flexibility, alongside the introduction of new pricing bundles for particular content. While these bundles, such as the $64.99/month Sports package and the $54.99/month Entertainment package, have been recently available, customizable multiview streams are now beginning to surface.
According to a Reddit user, the multiview feature in the YouTube TV application on smart TVs now presents a new selection interface. When users select the multiview option, they are greeted with a list of recommended channels alongside their current selections at the top. Categories like Recommended, Sports, News, TV shows, and Movies facilitate browsing.
Nevertheless, the feature appears to be part of a limited rollout. Some Reddit users indicate they are able to access the feature on their TVs, while others are not, pointing to a server-side rollout.
To verify if you have the feature, open a live stream and press the down button on your remote to access the multiview menu. You should see an “Add to multiview” option along with sections for suggested channels and various categories.
This enhancement is especially useful for users who like to watch multiple games or events at once, such as during football games when several matches take place simultaneously.

The OnePlus Watch 4: A Fresh Challenger in Wear OS Battery Performance
The OnePlus Watch 4 might become the new leader in Wear OS battery performance.
Key Details
- OnePlus has discreetly featured the Watch 4 on its international site.
- Performance specs remain largely unchanged, with the same Snapdragon W5, BES 2800 chip, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
- Its full titanium construction makes it lighter and slightly slimmer, featuring a sharper 1.5-inch OLED that can reach 3,000 nits.

The battery capacity is nearly identical at 632mAh, promising up to 16 days in power-saving mode, 5 days in smart mode, and 3 days under heavy usage.
Titanium for All
Now, the entire casing is crafted from titanium alloy rather than just the bezel. This modification reduces the weight to 43g, or 68g with the strap, and makes the 47.4mm body slightly more streamlined. The watch also showcases a vivid 1.5-inch LTPO OLED display (466 x 466) capable of achieving 3,000 nits of brightness in sports mode.
The primary enhancement lies in the software aspect. The Watch 4 debuts with OxygenOS Watch 8, based on Wear OS 6. This is one version ahead of the Watch 3. Gemini is included, and the watch comes with all the most recent health certifications, although a few
