Win10 skills: 9 things that must be done after Win10

Win10 has been played by the friends, just about two days after the start of the push, nearly 67 million copies of Win10 were installed. Of course, like many previous Microsoft systems, there are some things that must be done after Win10 is installed. Do you want to know what it is? Let’s take a look.

1. Verify your identity

Win10 includes a cool feature that automatically syncs the accounts and passwords you have saved on other devices. Think about the password you just saved on the tablet, and the next second can be opened on the PC, which is really exciting. However, this feature is not enabled by default on Win10, so... you need to start it first.

Verify your identity

The notification center is the easiest way to initiate automatic password synchronization. After clicking the link, Win10 will first ask you for the previously registered email or mobile phone, and then send it to it. A 7-digit "security code." If you can fill in the mailbox (or mobile phone) correctly and provide the corresponding security code, it means that you are the real owner of this account. OK! Password synchronization is turned on.

2. Close the background application

Users who often play mobile phones must have heard the background application, this It is a special APP running mode, which can provide users with corresponding application information in time. However, running in the background always consumes memory, and this stuff will consume a lot of power after a long time, so it is necessary to limit the background application.

Win10 includes a "background application" in the "Settings" → "Privacy" tab, allowing users to freely control the health of each application (Modern). One of the simplest examples, if you don't rely on maps very much, then turning it off is a good choice.

3. Open Cortana

Cortana is the latest voice search tool in Win10, the biggest highlight It is a voice command that can pick up users. To experience Cortana's cool features in just two steps, first click on the bottom search bar and follow the prompts to do it step by step. Throughout the process, Xiaona may ask you a few questions, such as how to call you.

Many times you will find this experience to be great, at least much cooler than the one that clicks on the Mic button. Of course, this step also needs to be set, click Cortana → "notebook" → "set". OK! Enjoy it slowly.

4. Download Offline Map

Like your mobile phone system, Win10 is also built into the system. A map app. So a small problem has arisen. How can I not consume any traffic when I go out? The answer is simple, that is, download the map in the office in advance.

This step is located in the Win10 Settings panel → "System" tab, click on the "Offline Map" at the bottom. The next steps are similar, click on "Download Map" and select the country and region you want to download.

5. Turn off WIFI sharing

In order to facilitate communication with small partners, Win10 has enabled a feature by default, which will be in your account. Contacts are all set to people who can share your WIFI. Most of the time, you will find this feature very useful. For example, if a few small friends come to your home and turn on the computer (mobile phone), you can go online directly, and you don't have to bother to ask for the WIFI password.

However, all the techniques are a double-edged sword. What if this feature is applied in a public environment? Obviously, we need to impose some restrictions on it. In the Win10 Settings panel → "Network and Internet" → "WLAN" → "Manage Wi-Fi Settings", you can see related options, such as any WIFI sharing on or off, or even freely control which contacts can share your WIFI.

6. Turn off P2P update sharing

Like many P2P downloads, Win10 has added a similar feature. This feature can help users greatly increase the connection speed when downloading and updating (fix pack), in other words, the update in Win10 may be faster than ever. Of course, if you want to achieve this step, you have to pay a price. When you accept other people's data, you are also a data contributor. So, when everyone uses Win10, a huge P2P network is born.

This doesn't cause serious problems in general, but if you're using a traffic-based network, you'll need to limit it a bit. In Win10 "Settings" → "Update & Security" → "Windows Update" → "Advanced Options" → "Select how to provide updates", you will see a "When this item is turned on, your computer can also Some of the previously downloaded Windows updates and applications are sent to a computer on the local network or to a computer on the Internet, depending on what is selected below."

In a nutshell, it is the master switch that controls the entire P2P update share. Turn it on to turn it on and turn it off to stop the feature. In addition, you can control whether the source of the update comes from other computers on the same LAN or all computers on the Internet. Use them correctly, so you don't have to worry about becoming a flood.

7. Clean up C drive space

If your Win10 is upgraded from the old system, then C drive The backup files (Windows.old) of the original system will be automatically saved. Don't underestimate these files. In most cases, their capacity will not be less than 10GB. If you don't want to return to the old system for a while, then delete it.

It's easy to delete these files. First right click on the C drive icon, then click on "Disk Cleanup" → "Clean System Files" and you will be able to retrieve the lost space in a few minutes. The only effect here is that you can't roll back to the old system anymore, but if Win10 is enough, what do you do?

8. Timed wallpapers

Remember the classic timed wallpaper for Win7? Win10 has not been found at all. In fact, this feature has always existed, but changed its name. If you still like the cool design of it, try to follow me.

First open Win10 Settings→“Personalization”→“Background”, then click “Background” in the right pane and change “Image” to “Slide Show”. Next, select the album to play, and finally set the replacement frequency of the image!

PS: In addition to the desktop wallpaper, the lock screen wallpaper can also be replaced regularly, the location is on the "lock screen interface" page of this page, other methods are similar to wallpaper

9. My menu is my master

Is there a feeling that the new start menu is too embarrassing, and all eyes are full of Microsoft-designed content, completely leaving no "creative space" Yeah! In fact, in Win10, we can customize the start menu by setting → “personalization” → “start”. For example, whether to display "most commonly used applications", whether to display "newly installed applications", etc., even you can customize which folders can be fixed on the start menu, for example, "File Explorer" I think is the least One of the used, the same button on the taskbar, why do you still occupy the place on the menu?

Postback

Overall Win10 is still a very successful The system, especially in terms of detail, incorporates many advanced designs. Of course, at the beginning of the product launch, it will encounter such problems or problems, but compared with the cool experience it brings, I think it is worth it.
