I previously had a computer that would hang on boot, and during the process of fixing it I changed my startup process to show what files were loading individually instead of it just saying "starting windows". I think I changed something in the registry?
I have a new computer now, and would like to set it to do that again, but I completely forget how I did it and googling for an answer only...

Fix apps hanging-culprit Chrome

Computer powers back on from sleep mode when low battery
Didn't know where to put this, if it's in the wrong place (Which it undoubtedly is) I encourage you to move it or ask me to move it and it will be done. :-)
Long story short, when my laptop has low battery and I'd like to put it into sleep mode rather than completely shutting it down, it will turn back on a few seconds after it goes to sleep.
Thanks in advance my beautiful windows warriors....
