2 Drag to Fit Windows This feature was available as far back as Windows 7, but has some extras in 10. If you grab any window, and drag it to the side of the screen, it will "fit" to half the screen. In Windows 10, you have the option of dragging the window to any corner of the screen to have the window take over that quarter of the screen. If you happen to be using multiple screens, you can drag to a border corner and wait for a prompt signal to let you know if the window will open in that corner. You can prompt similar behavior by using the Windows key plus any of the directional arrow buttons. Quickly Jump Between Virtual Desktops Do you like to multitask on your PC? I mean really multi-task? Well, you can now rejoice because with Windows 10, Microsoft finally provided out-of-the-box access to virtual desktops. To try it out, first click on the task bar (the icon to the right of the Windows menu). This will separate all your open windows into icons. You can then drag any of these open windows to the button that says "New desktop" in the bottom-right to create a new virtual desktop which you will see represented at the bottom of the task menu. This would allow you to, say, separate your work apps, personal apps, and social media into different desktops. Once you click out of task view, you'll be able to toggle between the virtual desktops by pressing Windows button+ctrl+right/left arrows. This will allow you to automatically switch between all the open windows which you've separated into different desktops, while leaving all the icons on your desktop unmoved. To remove the virtual desktops, just go back into task view and delete the individual virtual desktops this will not close out the apps contained within that desktop, but rather just send them to the next lower desktop. Move open windows between virtual desktops Virtual desktops let you segregate your open apps into discrete areas literally multiple, virtualized versions of your PC's desktops. Switching between open virtual desktops is easy enough using Task View (the button that looks like two panels, one over the other, in the taskbard) or Windows key + Tab, while Alt + Tab
3 jumps you between open apps across all desktops. There's also a way to actually shift an open app from one virtual desktop to another if you'd like to shuffle things around. First, head to the virtual desktop housing the app you'd like to move to another virtual desktop, then open the Task View interface. Just click-and-hold on the app you'd like to move, then drag it to the desired virtual desktop at the bottom of the screen. You can also drag it to the +New Desktop option in the lower-right corner to create a new virtual desktop for the app. Rotate Your Screen via Keyboard Ctrl-Alt-D Arrows This tip won't be useful to most of y'all, but you can rotate your screen by simultaneously pressing Ctrl + Alt + any of the arrow buttons. The down arrow will flip it upside down, the left or right arrow buttons will turn it 90 degrees on its side, and the up arrow will bring you back to standard orientation. If you use multiple displays, this feature allows you to orient just that display in a particular way. Right-Click on Tiles Want to personalize those tiles quick? Just right-click on them to prompt a pop-up menu. This menu will give you various options like the ability to un-pin from the Start menu, to resize the windows, or to turn that live tile off. Start menu folders What's old is new again: You can finally create basic Start menu folders in Windows 10, organizing Live Tiles into clusters. Simply drag your Start menu apps on top of each other to create folders that expand when clicked on. Turn off File Explorer's Quick Access view When you open File Explorer in Windows 10, it defaults to a new Quick Access view that shows your most frequently accessed folders and recently viewed files. I love it, personally, but if you'd rather File Explorer defaulted to the "This PC" view found in Windows 8, here's how. Open File Explorer, then select View Options from the Ribbon. A Folder Options window will open. Click the "Open File Explorer" drop-down menu at top, then select the "This PC" option. Click OK and you're done!
4 Pin websites to the Start Menu as Tiles Windows 10 will let you pin websites directly to your taskbar with Edge, using the site's icon as its Start Tile image. Look for the "Pin this page to the Start" option in the dropdown menu New snap keyboard shortcuts Keyboard warriors can save time and snap windows without using the mouse. Use the Win key + Arrow key to snap to one of the four corners of the screen and double-up commands to reach the quadrants. For example, pressing Win + Right Arrow, then Win +Up Arrow places the current window in the top-right corner. View apps from across desktops By default the taskbar displays windows and apps from the current desktop. To change this behaviour, head to Start > Settings > System > Multi-tasking > Virtual Desktops and select the 'All desktops' option from the pull-down menu. Move Windows between Virtual Desktops To move windows, bring up the Task View and drag an open window from the current desktop straight into the desktop you want to move it into. Or drag a window to the 'new desktop' button in order to create a new virtual desktop for the window. Hide the task view button If you don't use virtual desktops or use the keyboard to switch between them, you can hide the Task View icon by right-clicking on the taskbar and deselecting the 'Show Task View button' option. Shake to minimise To declutter your screen you can quickly minimise all open windows except the one you're viewing currently. Just click, hold and shake its title bar. Repeat the action to restore all minimised windows.
5 Enable jumplists You can save considerable amount of time by using Jump Lists with the most used apps. Open the Settings app from Start Menu and go to Personalisation > Start and enable the last option if you wish to see jump lists on Start Menu and Taskbar. Right click a Start Tile to access recent files Pin Most used settings You can pin shortcuts, files and folders to Start Menu. Just right-click on the desired item and select the 'Pin to Start' option. This will immediately pin the item to the right-side of Start Menu.
6 Remove tiles On the other hand, if you have no use for the tiles on the Start menu you can remove each and every one of them by right-clicking on each and selecting the 'Unpin from Start' option. Resize the Start menu To make room for your customisations, you can easily resize the Start menu to your liking. Just move your mouse pointer to the top-border or right-border of the Start Menu, the pointer will change into arrows and you'll be able to increase or decrease height and width. Find apps faster To avoid scrolling through the alphabetically arranged list of apps, click on any of the letters to view all the letters of the alphabet. Now click any alphabet which takes you directly to the apps grouped underneath it. Label and group tiles By default, the Start menu arranges tiles inside two groups. Click on these labels to rename them. If you've pinned tiles of your own, hover over the area above them and click on the two parallel lines to name the group. Remove Cortana's search box Similarly, you can reduce the space taken by Cortana in the taskbar. Right-click on an empty part of the taskbar, select Cortana and choose 'Hidden' to change it to a popup. You can keep Cortana on the taskbar as a standard icon by choosing the 'Show Cortana icon' option.
7 Customise Quick Access Quick Access allows you to immediately jump into your favourite folder and most recently used files. To customise its contents, switch to the View tab in Explorer and hit Options. Note that at the bottom of the General tab are further options to show or hide certain bits of information. Pin and reorder folders You can also pin folders in the Quick Access list on the navigation panel to make sure they don't disappear regardless of their frequent or recent use. To change their listing order, simply select a folder and drag it above or below the other listed folders. Access files remotely Under the OneDrive Settings tab, if you toggle the 'Let me use OneDrive to fetch any of my files on this PC' option, you can access your files from another computer using the OneDrive website. Define a keyboard shortcut for any app To get faster access to apps, you can launch them by using custom keyboard shortcuts. For this, right-click on an app's icon and head to Properties > Shortcut. Now click inside the text box labelled 'Shortcut key' and press any key. Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcut Windows Windows + Tab Windows + C Windows + S Windows + I Windows + A Windows + Ctrl + D Description Show the Windows 10 Start Menu Launch Windows 10 Task View Search the web and Windows with Cortana (speech) Search the web and Windows with Cortana (keyboard input) Open Windows 10 settings Open Windows 10 Action Center (e.g. to display notifications and customizable quick actions) Create new virtual desktop
8 Windows + Ctrl + F4 Windows + Ctrl + [Left][Right] Close current virtual desktop Switch between virtual desktops Windows + [Left][Right][Up][Down] Position windows on your screen E.g. Windows + [Left] moves the current window to the left half of your screen. If you use Windows + [Up] afterwards, the current window will be placed in the upper left quarter of your screen. And, what s very handy in my opinion: If you release thewindows key after positioning a window, Task View shows up on the opposite side of the positioned window to select and position another app. Windows + H Windows + K Windows + X Windows + G Windows + D Windows + E Windows + L Windows + Space Windows + Shift + [Left][Right] Windows + [1][2][3][ ] Share content (if supported by current app) Connect to wireless displays and audio devices Open Start button context menu Opens the Windows 10 Game Bar to take game screenshots and record gaming videos of Windows 10 games (works in any game app, e.g. Microsoft Solitaire Collection) Show Windows desktop Open Windows Explorer Lock your Windows 10 device Switch keyboard input language (if you have added at least a second one) Move current Window from one monitor to another (when using a multiple monitor setup) Open programs that are pinned to task bar E.g. if first pinned program on your task bar is Windows Explorer (from left to right), the shortcut Windows + 1opens Windows Explorer for you. Windows + R Windows + P Alt + Tab Alt + Space Alt + F4 Run a command Project a screen Switch to previous window Restore, move, size, minimize, maximize or close current window. Also works like a charm for Windows 10 modern apps. a) Close current window

Quadrants is the new Snap view mode that pins apps to the four quarters of the screen. Switch to recent window: Alt + Tab LeBlanc says: "Hold shows new Task View window view, let go and switches to app." Task view: Windows + Tab LeBlanc says: "New Task view opens up and stays open." Create new virtual desktop: Windows key + Ctrl + D Close current virtual desktop: Windows key + Ctrl + F4 Switch virtual desktop : Windows key + Ctrl + Left or Right Make the desktop more stylish Windows 10 lets you personalize your desktop more thoroughly than before. Head to Start > Settings > Personalization > Colors, and choose Show color on taskbar and Start Menu. You can also tell it to automatically pick a color from your wallpaper and apply it underneath icons of open apps, and you can remove the Start Menu's translucent option. In addition, a Dark Theme option turns the menus black. I love it, but your feelings may differ. I also wish it extended systemwide, to Explorer, the old Control Panel, and other places, but hey, at least it's a start. Turn off File Explorer's Quick Access view When you open File Explorer in Windows 10, it defaults to a new Quick Access view that shows your most frequently accessed folders and recently viewed files. I love it, personally, but if you'd rather File Explorer defaulted to the "This PC" view found in Windows 8, here's how. Open File Explorer, then select View Options from the Ribbon. A Folder Options window will open. Click the "Open File Explorer" drop-down menu at top, then select the "This PC" option. Click OK and you're done!
