Word has so many features I rarely use, it’s pretty amazing. However,
when you run into that one instance where you need to do something
unusual, those hidden features really come in handy. For instance, I had
to do some research for one of my classes online, which required me to
copy and paste various […]

If you’re using Windows 10, you’ve probably noticed that the lock
screen usually displays a really nice background image that is
automatically chosen from Bing and automatically sized for your desktop
screen. If you have a high-resolution monitor, the feature works
especially well. On a 4K or WQHD (2560×1440) monitor, the
high-resolution images look absolutely […]
Just got a new wireless or network printer for your home or office
and need to install it on Windows 10? Compared to the old days, adding
printers in Windows nowadays is usually a pretty easy process, as long
as the printer isn’t ancient. I’ve actually already talked about
installing printers before, but my previous […]
In Windows 10, the Windows Firewall hasn’t changed very much since
Vista. Overall, it’s pretty much the same. Inbound connections to
programs are blocked unless they are on the allowed list. Outbound
connections are not blocked if they do not match a rule. You also have a
Public and Private network profile for the firewall […]
I recently wrote about troubleshooting Windows 10 freezing issues
and in this post I’ll be talking about troubleshooting another fairly
common issue, which is disk usage showing 100% all the time. I’ve
noticed that this condition is especially true on laptops. Normally, the
disk usage will go up to or close to 100% for a […]
Over the last year, I’ve been running Windows 10 on about 4 PCs and
really haven’t run into much trouble until recently. A few days ago, I
started having a strange issue where my Windows 10 PC would freeze up
randomly, eventually forcing me to perform a hard reset on the system.
What’s strange is […]
Up till now, if you wanted to start fresh with your Windows 10 PC,
you had one of two options: reset your PC or download the Windows 10 ISO
and reinstall the operating system manually. In a previous post, I
wrote about how you can restore Windows to factory settings, but this
really only resets […]
If you are an avid Google Chrome user, you’re probably familiar with
the built-in syncing feature that is tied to your Google account. With
Chrome, a whole lot of data gets synced including your installed
extensions, auto-fill data, bookmarks, credit cards, passwords, history,
settings, themes, and even open tabs. Of course, all of this gets […]
I’ve been using Windows 10 for over 6 months now and it’s way better
than Windows 8. I use it on my main computer and have been fairly happy
with it overall. Just having the Start Menu back was probably the best
thing Microsoft did. Nowadays, I’m trying to become more of a power
user, […]
By itself, Windows 10 doesn’t look so bad. It’s got a modern
interface where everything is mostly flat and colorful. The Start Menu
is a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 8. The taskbar is simple and
straight-forward. The desktop consists of your icons and a wallpaper.
For most people, the default settings are just […]
If you’ve recently bought a Windows 10 machine or upgraded your PC
to Windows 10, you might be wondering how secure the operating system
is. Luckily, by default, Windows 10 is more secure than Windows 7 and
Windows 8.1. It has a lot of new security features that help block
viruses and malware infections. This is […]
