10 Most Useful Tips to Help You Get the Most out of Windows 10

I don't know about you but I'm a huge fan of shortcuts and honestly the interface of Windows 10 makes it a must to learn at least one or two shortcuts to move around faster and feel the liquidity of the interface. Let's start with:

• Windows Logo Key + Ctrl + D: Use this combination to switch to a new virtual desktop. Why you need this? Let's say you've launched too many applications at the same time that you actually lose track of everything! What could be better than switching to a clean and slick desktop?
• Windows Logo Key + L: Use this combination to switch between accounts.
• Windows Logo Key + C: Use this combination to wake Cortana up in listening mode.
• Windows Logo Key + I: Use this combination to open settings panel or the co-called Control Panel.

I'm not crazy about "Dark Mode" generally, but for those who're so concerned about their eyes, there is this hidden mode on Windows 10.

• Hold "Windows Logo Key + R" and type "Regedit", hit the "Enter" key.
• Then simply expand this hierarchy: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Themes > Personalize.
• Then right-click on an empty area and click "New" and choose "DWORD (32bi-bit) Value". A new value is added. You can rename if you want. Now simply log out and log back in.

You can customize the Start Menu using the "Ctrl" and "Arrow" keys to customize the size of the Menu the way you want to. It's pretty awesome.

The Microsoft seems to have finally come into its senses. From now on, you can use this new option that lets you print a PDF file regardless of the application you are working with. In other words, The XPS format is not a "must" anymore. You also get to save your document, webpage etc. as a PDF file. Click "Print" and then choose "Save" to save your file as a PDF.

You can record what you do inside of an application on Windows 10. Now you can make simple tutorials yourself! Use this key combination: "Windows Logo Key + G".

The con here is that your PC should meet the requirements. According to Microsoft, you should have one of these graphic cards:

• AMD: AMD Radeon HD 7000 series, HD 7000M series, HD 8000 series, HD 8000M series, R9 series, and R7 series.
• NVIDIA: GeForce 600 series or later, GeForce 800M series or later, Quadro Kxxx series or later.

If you don't like to be having to go through the boring sign-in panel of Windows 10, you might want to take a look at this trick:
Use" Windows Logo Key + R" then type "Netplwiz" and hit "OK". Then under Users Accounts, uncheck the "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".

God! It's so nerve-racking! By default, Windows 10 is adjusted to find and download updates automatically and there's nothing you can do about it, unless you manually go to "Settings" and disable "Automatic Updates".

The New Settings panel looks like just fine and it is accessible from the Start Menu. However, not everybody can adapt to this new arrangement of things. For such people including myself, they have rustled up a shortcut to the conventional Control Panel.
Just use this key combination: "Windows Logo Key + X" and choose "Control Panel".

This is the problem for a lot of those who switch to Windows 10 and the solution is handy: Upgrade your PC' drivers and restart your PC and bingo! You will find the "Sleep" button right where it is supposed to be.
