So I reinstalled Windows 10 again and don't wanna shit up the forum with another essential new applications for a new build thread, so what do you guys make sure is on absolutely every new build?

I always make sure to install LibreOffice (legit the best office software since Office became pozzed), Firefox, 7zip, Wiztree (essential for working out where the fuck my space went), Notepad+, VLC (yeah I don't give a shit if your niche video player is 0.324% better, I just want a swiss army knife that can play anything I throw at it) and f.lux but I'm trying to see what everyone can't start a new build without to see if anything sticks out as interesting.

Preferably freeware/open source shit that I can simply install and never have to worry about updating. I don't really mind paid applications if they're worthwhile though.

I've never run into anything mpv can't handle.

Voidtools Everything is a swiss army knife and can even fill the function of Wiztree. IrfanView is something I can't live without, it's also a swiss army knife in its own way and is insanely powerful for a free image viewer. AutoHotKey is also nice for creating elaborate and application specific macros. There's a learning curve to it but after that it gets easier and looking at it right now my current macro script is 19KB in size.

Irfanview is one I like to always have around. It's to still images what VLC is to video.
Krita is pretty useful. It's basically an open source Photoshop clone that doesn't suck.
 
i have come up on a video that i can not download from youtube, no matter what i try, any suggestions?
im not sure if its because im in germany or because of some other fuckery.

Use yt-dlp instead of youtube-dl.

@byuu- has downloading of age-gated videos been working without login credentials recently? I feel like yt-dlp had this working, but maybe it got broken by a YT change.

I would assume it should work with cookies from a browser in yt-dlp or JDownloader, but can't verify ATM.

Definitely works with this video, without any cookies or anything. And with a German IP as well.
