sa 21 Jan 2017	Here's one from 2011; when defining a group click on a file, then click on another whilst holding down the Shift key and all the files in between will be added to the group.
th 5 Jan 2017	At ntc the main desktop pc has two monitors so we've haven't felt the need for virtual desktops, indeed they just confuse us ... but we are easily confused. Before meddling with virtual desktops ensure the task view button is visible and note that Windows key + Ctrl + f4 closes the current desktop.
th 24 Aug 2017	It worried us for quite a while that the Windows 10 accent system colour kept changing all by itself on a desktop. It was happening because we'd set the background to slide show and when the graphic changed so did the accent colour. Fix it by Windows Key/Settings/Personalisation/Colours and uncheck the Automatically pick an accent colour ... box.
tu 25 Oct 2016	The thing about Windows is it's made mostly by Americans and they don't realise that in their foreign people do strange things like sometimes turn their computer off. The Windows anniversary update has made it even more difficult to turn the bloody thing off. You can still do it from the keyboard but you need to know the shortcut Windows key + X/U/U. We've also added on a desktop the shortcut described at CNet (Option 2: halfway down).
we 5 Oct 2016	The Windows 10 Anniversary Update took forever here, forced multiple reboots with the last reboot leaving a desktop hanging and we had to force our own reboot. If like us you've previously turned Cortana off annoyingly the update turns it back on and removes the on/off toggle. How-To Geek have a download (halfway down the page) that's a one click fix.
tu 12 Jul 2016	Worth repeating: turn on Toggle Keys and you'll hear a confirming higher pitched tone when you turn on Caps; Num or Scroll Lock, turn them off and you'll hear a lower pitched tone. To set Toggel Keys in Windows 10 go Windows key/Settings/Ease of Access/Keyboard/Toggle Keys-On.
mo 27 Jun 2016	Task View is accessed from the 'squares' icon by the Windows button and displays all open windows reduced size. The keyboard short cut to Task View is Windows + Tab, click on a reduced window to select it or Windows + Tab again to toggle back to normal view.
fr 10 Jun 2016	You start up your pc/laptop (or perhaps it restarts itself) and you get something like Operating System not found, perhaps you've left a memory stick in a USB port and the pc is trying to boot from that? Just remove it and maybe change the device order in which the pc's BIOS looks for the operating system, quite how you do this will depend on your particular pc, Google it.
sa 28 May 2016	Windows 10's picture viewer Photo Gallery defaults to slide shows in that annoying Pan and zoom Ken Burns way. If you hover your mouse top left a Change theme pull down appears so you can change to slightly less irritating transitions but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the default, that's stuck at Pan and zoom.
tu 8 Mar 2016	In Windows 10 lots of the old favourites like Control Panel aren't immediately apparent, point the mouse at the Windows button bottom left (unless you've moved the task bar) and click the right mouse button (if you're right handed) to get this useful menu.
su 10 Jan 2016	When we upgraded to Windows 10 in that American way it added a US keyboard causing ENG to appear bottom right on the task bar. (ENG lets you switch between keyboards.) No biggy but a bit annoying and another bit of the screen occupied for no reward. Removing the US keyboard is a little bit of a faff, we went Windows/C/Control Panel/Language, selected English (United States) and then clicked Remove above ... ENG gone.
we 4 Nov 2015	Windows 10 brings the gestures you know on other devices to your touchpad. Particularly useful if your touchpad doesn't have scroll bars is the two fingered swipe.
we 16 Sep 2015	A useful new keyboard shortcut in Windows 10 is Windows key + X which pops up a substantial menu of system stuff and has underlined keyboard shortcuts. You can do the same thing by right clicking what's now the Windows 10 logo bottom left and was the Start button, the same menu appears and though keyboard shortcuts are not underlined they still function.
