Controlling Windows 10 Settings By Tom Krauser In this article we will look at controlling Windows 10 settings. We will deal primarily with the settings accessible when the Setting icon (gear) is clicked from the Start Menu. Windows Setting Icon When the Settings icon is clicked the Windows Settings window is opened. We will only cover in detail a few of the more frequently used setup options. You can use the internet and YouTube to get more detailed information on specific settings. In Windows 10 the older Windows version of Control Panel is still available for users who prefer the older layout. To access the older Control Panel: Click Start, scroll down to Windows System and click on it, then click on Control Panel. You could also add this to your Start Menu by right clicking on the Control Panel icon and select Pin to Start. System The System icon brings up settings related to: Display: This allows selecting different displays if PC has multiple displays and changing the settings for the selected display. You can identify and detect different monitors in multiple monitor setups. The size of default text can be changed. Screen resolution can be set based on capability of the video card. The orientation of the screen can be changed from Landscape (default) to Portrait so monitor can be placed with the longest side of the screen up. Screen brightness (laptops) can be set to save power. Notifications & Actions: Sets up notifications from various apps and senders. Power & Sleep: Settings for turning the screen off if no user activity for a pre-selected time if PC is plugged in or on battery. Can also set if the computer goes into Sleep mode after a pre-selected time if PC plugged in or on battery. Battery (Laptops): Shows status of laptop battery. Controls setting of when laptop shuts off on low battery. Controls if screen dims when on battery to save power. Storage: Shows the storage capacity of various drives on the PC.

Remote Desktop: Lets you connect to and control your PC from a remote device by using Remote Desktop client app. You will be able to work from the device as if you were working directly on your PC. I prefer the free program TeamViewer to remote connect PCs and devices over Remote Desktop. About: Provides information about virus and firewall protection; Device specifications including renaming the PC; and Windows specifications including changing the product key or upgrading edition of Windows. Devices The Devices icon brings up settings related to: Bluetooth & other devices: Allows turning Bluetooth On/Off; adding a Bluetooth device; Printers & Scanners: Allows adding, managing, deleting a printer or scanner Mouse: Allows configuring/switching the mouse buttons; control how the mouse scroll wheel responds.

Touchpad (Laptops): Controls setting the sensitivity of the touchpad. Under Additional Settings you can disable the touchpad if an external pointing device is installed. Removing the external mouse will automatically enable the touchpad. Users have found that if touchpad is active that the cursor may get accidentally moved when working on documents with hand resting on the touchpad if the touchpad thinks you are clicking on the touchpad. Typing: Configures how misspelled words are corrected or highlighted; shows text suggestions. Pen & Windows Ink: Configure (On/Off) writing in the Handwriting Input Panel with your fingertip; Turn On/Off recommended apps in Windows Ink Workspace.

Taskbar: Configure if the Taskbar is locked, hidden, uses smaller icons, location of taskbar on screen, which icons show in notification area, whether system icons show, if taskbar shows on multiple displays when used. Apps The Apps icon brings up settings related to: Apps & Features: Controls installing and removing apps from PC. This is the option you would use to uninstall any software you no longer wanted on your PC. To uninstall software left click on the software you want to uninstall and then click on Uninstall. Only one program can be uninstalled at a time. You may have to reboot the PC to complete uninstall. Default Apps: This option allows you to set the default program which opens selected types of applications. For example, normally Microsoft Edge is the default browser when a program tries to open a website. You can change the default browser to any browser you have installed on your computer. At the bottom is the option to “Choose default app by file type”. This allows you to choose the program that opens each file type. Another option is which program will open a PDF file. Microsoft Edge is the default to open PDF file types in the browser but you may want to change the default PDF file opener to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

    BitLocker Encryption for USB Drives BitLocker is a security feature. The purpose of BitLocker is to encrypt your data. This is extremely necessary for any data that is not to be shared with other persons. This will prevent anyone from being able to access your files. In order to have access to your files, you will need to provide a secure password. This password should be unique only to you. More information is provided below on how to make a unique password in step 2. During this process, step 3 offers the option to save a recovery key. The recovery key is 48 characters long and consist of numbers and letters. This key will be saved to Active Directory and allow the IS Department to access your USB/External drive should you forget your password. To get started I would recommend encrypting the USB/External drive BEFORE adding any files. Once the drive is encrypted and you enter your password it will function as any other USB/External drive. So you may add, edit, or delete your files as you normally would. If you have any trouble following this guide or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the IS department. You will need a USB or External drive in order to successfully complete this process. Multiple ways to navigate to BitLocker: 1. Control Panel System & Security BitLocker Drive Encryption 2. Search bar type in “BitLocker” Manage BitLocker Steps to encrypt your USB drive: Step 1: Click “Turn on BitLocker” Step 2: Check the “Use a password to unlock the drive” and enter your password.
