Various typefaces in this book identify terms and other special objects. These special typefaces include the following: Type
Italic New terms or phrases when initially defined Monospace Information that appears in code or onscreen in command-line tools All Windows book publishers struggle with how to represent command sequences when menus and dialog boxes are involved. In this book, we separate commands using a comma. Yeah, we know it’s confusing, but this is traditional...

Throughout the book we describe some common trouble symptoms and tell you how to diag-nose and fix problems with Windows, hardware, and software.
We used to always say that Windows was built with the mouse in mind. After all, the easiest way to use screen elements such as the Start menu, the taskbar, toolbars, ribbons, and dialog boxes was via mouse manipulation. However, for tablet PCs that come with no input devices other than a touchscreen, it’s now safe to say that Windows 10 was built w...
If you use your PC regularly, there’s an excellent chance that its hard drive is crammed with thou-sands, perhaps even tens of thousands, of files that take up hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of gigabytes. That’s a lot of data, but it leads to a huge and growing problem: finding things. We all want to have the proverbial information at our finger...
The Start menu, with its live tiles and easy access (just press the Windows Logo key), is meant to be a kind of automatically and frequently updated bulletin board that tells you what’s going on in your life: your latest messages, your upcoming appointments, the music you’re listening to, the weather, the latest news and financial data, and so on. ...
The Start menu tiles come in up to four sizes (we say “up to” because not all app tiles support all four sizes). Medium is the most common (see, for example, the default Music and Video tiles), and the other sizes are based on the Medium dimensions: Small is one quarter the size of Medium; Wide is the equivalent of two Medium tiles side-by-side; an...
One of the problems many new users have with the Windows 10 Start menu is the slight delay that occurs when they try to find the app they want to launch. This is particularly true when you have many live tiles on the go, because you no longer see the app name in each tile, just the app icon. If this is the case with just the default Start menu tile...
As we mentioned earlier, the Start menu offers a kind of aerial view of what’s happening in your life, and it does this by displaying live content—called tile notifications —on many of the tiles. That seems like a good idea in theory, but much of that live content is not static. For example, if you have multi-ple email messages waiting for you, th...
One of the significant conveniences of the Start menu is that the apps you see can all be opened with just a couple of clicks or taps. Contrast this with the relatively laborious process required to launch just about any other app on your PC: Display the Start menu, click All Apps, scroll through the list to find the app you want to run, and then c...
If you have a website that you visit often, you can use the Internet Explorer app to pin the website to the Start menu. This means that you can surf to that site simply by clicking its Start menu tile. Follow these steps to pin a website to your Start menu using Internet Explorer: On the Start menu, select All Apps, Windows Accessories, Internet E...
Although the Start menu does offer a few productivity improvements—at-a-glance info with live tiles, one-click app launching, as-you-type searching—a few tasks are maddeningly (and, in our view, unnecessarily) inefficient. We’re thinking in particular of shutting down and restarting the PC. To perform these tasks using a mouse, you must click the S...
As mentioned earlier, the left side of the Start menu includes a collection of system icons just above the Power button. In a default install, there are two system icons: File Explorer and Settings. However, Windows offers 10 icons in all, including icons that take you to the specific user account folders (such as Documents, Downloads, and Pictures...
Once you have two or more desktops on the go, here’s a rundown of the techniques you can use: Switching desktops — Invoke Task View and then select the icon of the desktop you want. From the keyboard, either press Windows Logo+Ctrl+Right arrow to switch to the next desktop, or press Windows Logo+Ctrl+Left arrow to switch to the previous desktop. Mo...
