  • Organizing Windows Desktop/Workspace
    Organizing Windows Desktop/Workspace Instructions Below are the different places in Windows that you may want to customize. On your lab computer, go ahead and set up the environment in different ways to see how you’d like to customize your work computer. Start Menu and Taskbar ● Size: Click on the Start Icon (bottom left). As you move your mouse to the edges of the Start Menu window, your mouse icon will change to the resize icons . Click and drag the mouse to the desired Start Menu size. ● Open Start Menu, and “Pin” apps to the Start Menu/Taskbar by finding them in the list, right-clicking the app, and select “Pin to Start” or “More-> “Pin to Taskbar” OR click and drag the icon to the Tiles section. ● Drop “Tiles” on top of each other to create folders of apps. ● Right-click on Tiles (for example the Weather Tile), and you can resize the Tile (maybe for apps you use more often), and also Turn On live tiles to get updates automatically in the Tile (not for all Tiles) ● Right-click applications in the Taskbar to view “jump lists” for certain applications, which can show recently used documents, visited websites, or other application options. ● If you prefer using the keyboard for opening apps, you probably won’t need to customize the start menu. Simply hit the Windows Key and start typing the name of the application to open, then hit enter when it is highlighted. As the same searches happen, the most used apps will show up as the first selection.

  • Windows 10: Part 1
    Windows 10: Part 1 Updated: May 2018 Price: $2.00 A Special Note on Terminology Windows 10 accepts both mouse and touch commands. This means that you could use either mouse clicks or touch gestures interchangeably. Throughout this document, you will read either click, tap, or click/tap. Please note that you can click on anything that says “tap,” and you can tap on anything that says “click.” Click = Tap Double Click = Double Tap Click and Drag = Tap and Drag Right Click = Tap and Hold NOTE: You must have a touchscreen to use touch commands. What is Windows 10? Windows 10 is Microsoft’s latest operating system for home and work computers. An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that enables the user to interact with the computer. Currently, Windows is still the most popular OS on the market for personal or home computers. The Microsoft Account Before we go further, let’s talk about the Microsoft Account. When you first upgrade to Windows 10, or purchase a computer with Windows 10, you will have the opportunity to create a Microsoft ID. NOTE: You do not have to create an ID, but some features require you to create an account. A Microsoft ID allows you to access Internet-connected apps, the Microsoft Store, and Cortana. If these terms are new to you—don’t worry!—we will explain them later. For now, know that as you get more used to the computer, you may need to create a Microsoft account to use additional features in Windows. Lesson 1: Touring Windows 10 The Desktop After you start your computer and sign into Windows, you will see the desktop.

  • 7 Productivity Tips for Windows 10
    UC San Diego Health Information Services Knowledge Base: Seven Simple Productivity Tips – Windows 10 1. Block the Distractions 2. Pin Websites and Apps to the Taskbar 3. Keep more on the clipboard 4. Take it out 5. Snap your windows in place 6. Expand your desktop space 7. Work faster with AutoHotKey Block the Distractions Do Not Disturb isn’t just a mode for your smartphone, because Windows comes with something very similar called Focus Assist. It quietens down notifications and postpones other interruptions so you can get on with some serious work, and the mode can be enabled manually or automatically. Open Windows Settings via the cog icon on the Start menu, then choose System and Focus assist. Set the times when you want the mode to turn on automatically, or enable it using the check boxes at the top (you can still allow alerts from apps you give priority too, if you want). Focus Assist can also be switched on from the Action Center (click the notification button to the far right of the taskbar). Focus assist (also called quiet hours in earlier versions of Windows 10) allows you to avoid distracting notifications when you need to stay focused, and is set by default to activate automatically under certain conditions. Here's how to turn focus assist on or off: P a g e 1 | 7 UC San Diego Health Information Services Knowledge Base: Seven Simple Productivity Tips – Windows 10 1. Select the action center icon on the taskbar. 2. Select Focus assist to cycle through the available settings: either Priority Only, Alarms Only, or Off.
