Why all this typing into search? Used to be able to go to an organized file structure and click. The idea that you would want to type out the word calculator is absurd. Also, having to know search terms such as reliability instead of simply finding them in a menu is absurd. So question: are these features available in easy to find menus or do you really have to be typing in search terms? It s somewhat counterintuitive, for we are both led into the swipe and poke methodology while at the same time being called upon to do more typing. Or are we merely being given more options?

Multiple file renaming 1. Highlight all the files you want to rename 2. Press F2 3. Type in the filename you want, and hit enter 4. All the highlighted filed will be renamed filename(1), filename(2), filename(3) etc I don't use Windows calculators. I still use an old calculator from PC Tools Desktop (1985) because it has an on-screen tape , a record of the inputs I have made so I can go back and recheck, and if I find a mistake, I can re-input the correct number, and it will update the answer.

DON'T INSTALL WINDOWS 10.IT's A SPY.The deception is to make users trust this spy.It's the utmost spying program. Now they are gleaning everyone's information to minute detail.They can hear you breathe when you are sleeping and have sensors built into windows 10 to sense what you are doing 24 h a day. CORTANA is artificial intelligence-a robot hardware.It is permanently in bedded into windows 10-you won't be able to remove this spyware.No one can.

Hey, the Command Prompt settings are pretty cool, I had no idea it was customizable, however the fonts being able to be changed ...not so much as they look way too much alike one another.. you can see they don't change too much.. but still cool... is there any hidden feature for the laptop sound running Win 10? I feel it could be enhanced as it doesn't seem loud enough... I have the realtek settings but don't think i understand too much of it.. Thanks

I actually did know about a few of these... I've been using nine versions of Windows since my days at Connally Middle School in 1997, and my family got a Windows 95 computer right around that same year. Along the way, I did in fact discover some of the features that existed in versions prior to Windows 10. The one I use most often is ReadyBoost. I especially like how you can use multiple drives for it now; whereas with Vista, you could only use one.

Thanks TechGumbo, cracking tutorial You could do a video on the Win key alone and all the various functions they do. I am sure you will know all these. For example: Win key + d = desktop, it will minimise all open windows to desktop, repeating will restore open windows Win key + q will bring up search box Win key + w will bring up Windows Ink Space Win key + e will launch file explorer Win key + r will launch the Run box There are so more

nice video, lots of good information on little-used features, and a nice illustration of how easy it is to navigate in Windows 10. There was one adjustment I was hoping to see but did not. Sometimes when I open a page and then decide to scroll down, the page zooms in when I slide my cursor to the bar on the right side of the screen. Are you familiar with this feature and do you know how it can be stopped? It is so annoying.

Bro, in 2020 after the update my net speed has become slow, surfing speed is fine but downloading speed is very slow now! None of the video that I saw on youtube worked. Its a problem that many people suffer. Can you help! Last time when I diabled the delievery optimization service everything went well but now i can't disable it, it always shows access denied. I have windows 10 home so gpedit.msc doesn't works!

Additional tip for command prompt: Going back to the options in right clicking the command prompt window, for an system-wide effect use Defaults, for customizing ONLY the prompt, use Properties... In fact I still use Readyboost in situation like using them in VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation for faster access times for those VMs (specifically my windows 7 VM)
