Tricks and Secrets of Windows 10

More and more users around the world are moving to the newest "operating system" of Windows 10. It looks like something very similar to previous versions, and in some cases it's perfectly fine. Let's look at the main secrets of Windows 10. Few people know that there are a lot of such "chips" in the new OS, and they are usually hidden from the user's eyes.

Windows 10: Secrets and Device

If we consider the "top ten" from the point of view of similarity and dissimilarity to previous versions, it can immediately be noted that it combines the capabilities of both the "seven" and the "eight". In this case, we mean switching from the normal operating mode to the tablet, which is implemented at the highest level in Windows 10. The secrets and the device are such that the user does not need to overload the system, and the simplest switching is to change the modes.

Naturally, this approach works only if the screen of the monitor or laptop is in the tablet mode supports working with the touchscreen. Otherwise nothing good can come of this, although in the image and likeness of Windows 8 you can use a standard mouse. In the simplest version you need to go into the settings section and activate the menu of the tablet mode with the switch. You can also remember your choice, for example, so that this mode is always used when logging into the system.

Useful secrets of Windows 10

Not speaking now about new functions and elements, we will stop precisely on that "ten", as any other similar system, allows to make full optimization and adjustment of appearance and functioning that is called, under itself.

As you already know, in Windows 10, secrets and tricks in the form of additional functions are hidden, but if you find them, you can change the settings in such a way that the manufacturer does not recognize his child. Now a few words about some elementary positions.

Customize the start menu

Probably, every user noticed that when you enter the screen, the start menu always appears. What is most interesting, the developers, wise with bitter experience and cornered by the wishes of users, finally returned to their rightful place the button "Start".

Nevertheless, the menu can be easily changed. The simplest method is to "hook" the border of the start menu with the mouse button and drag it to a new location.

On the other hand, in Windows 10, the secrets of setting the main menu can be found by looking at the Personalization section of the Start menu. Here you can set it to open in full screen mode.

We remove the password when logging in

When installing the "dozens", of course, you needed to register, and eventually - and use the Microsoft account. When you log on to the system, even with administrator rights, manually entering the password from the "account" is a real headache, and changing it as before in the account section is not so easy (light passwords are not perceived by the system).

But you can easily get rid of this. Although in Windows 10 tips and secrets of such settings even in the help system are not advertised, you can use a very simple solution. First, click on the "Start" button, then select "All Programs" and scroll through them until the search field appears. In the line, enter netplwiz and run the result on behalf of the admin. In a new window there is a line that specifies the password requirement at the entrance, in front of which there is a tick. We remove it and save the changes. All. The system will implement a passwordless login.

Select the start folder "Explorer"

An interesting new feature is the setup of the main (base) folder, the transition to which will be made at the start of "Explorer."

Here you need to pay attention to a new element called "Quick Access Toolbar". In it, and you can drastically change all the parameters to those that will be convenient for each specific user.

Application management tools

On this, the secrets of Windows 10 do not end. In the new OS there was one more interesting tool. For example, if you previously needed to use the corresponding section in the Control Panel to uninstall programs or disable Windows components, you can now use the new tool, although the old partition is also available.

This "chip" is called "Applications and Features", and you can find it through the options menu with the subsequent selection of the "System" section. The uniqueness of this tool is that you can not only delete programs, but also, say, move them between disks or logical partitions, which will not affect the performance of the entire system. In addition, immediately without using the "Task Manager" you can monitor the most resource-intensive applications.

Analysis of the use of resources and data

As for monitoring, the secrets of Windows 10 are that some functions were borrowed from the same Windows Phone OS designed for mobile gadgets. With the help of this innovation, you can track, for example, the use of incoming and outgoing traffic, view the most "voracious" programs that constantly access the Internet, and so on.

Access to this functionality is via the universal settings menu, where you first need to select the "Internet and Network" section, then go to the data usage, and enter the usage information at the end.

Using Wi-Fi Sense passwords

Another automated "chip" is the Wi-Fi Sense service. Its essence lies in the fact that when you connect to the network, the system creates a sort of cloud base of used passwords, which, by the way, can be used together by several users.

What does this mean? Yes exactly, that when granting access rights to friends, they can easily connect to your network, say from Skype, Facebook, etc., without physically entering the access password, as well as vice versa. In this case, the connection process itself is fully automated and starts immediately after the discovery of the existing connection.

How to search for updates

Now a few words about the system updates. As it was stated initially, updates for the "dozens" will not be provided, nevertheless they are also in quite a lot.

Here are just a few changes to the principles of updating the system. We are all used to the fact that earlier when the corresponding service was launched, the system turned to the official "Update Center" on the website of Microsoft Corporation. Now the technology in terms of search and installation of updates by specialists of the corporation was borrowed from the principles of peer-to-peer (P2P) peer-to-peer networks functioning.

Although Microsoft has always been one of the main opponents of peer-to-peer networks with pirated content, the method used in this particular case is justified. The update can not only be done from an official source, but also downloaded from computers on the Web, on which the update is either fully installed, or is in the process of downloading and installing (although it is not recommended to use this mode).

On the other hand, you can enable the function again from the options section where you should select the update and security menus, then the additional parameters and specify exactly how your computer terminal will receive updates.

Conclusion

Of course, to consider absolutely all the secrets of Windows 10 in one article is almost impossible, especially since now very few users were able to get to them to their fullest. In the system itself, there is still a huge number of specialized elements that make it possible to simplify the work as much as possible. However, the above are the most simple and available to each user "chips", which can have a serious impact on optimizing the settings of the "dozens."
