Figure 1 Win8.1 Tips Secret

1. Applications don't have to be reloaded

If you often need to reinstall the operating system, then reloading the application will give you some Headache, application installation is still good to say, can be personalized? When should it be set? Fortunately, Win8.1 provides automatic synchronization of applications. To put it bluntly, when the system is reinstalled, Win8.1 is responsible for restoring the personal application to the state before reinstallation. And this recovery is not just about applications, it also includes personal data.

2. Turn off Metro and other two seconds

Unlike Win8, turning off METRO application in Win8.1 can no longer be like Just drag it directly to the bottom of the screen and you're done. Because …… Microsoft believes it is more appropriate to stay in the background. OK! The question is, how can I really close the METRO application? Of course, you must know that right click on the application bar and click “ Close & rdquo; this method, but I can tell you that the easiest way is to drag it to the bottom edge of the screen, but the fingers don't loosen so early, but more Stay for 2~3 seconds. So what will happen after the stay? The answer is that the interface thumbnail automatically transforms into the application LOGO (animated effect is “transformed”), OK! At this point, the application is completely closed (available with the Task Manager).

3. Where is the Wubi

It seems that there is no sense, because there have been articles in the past that have introduced the METRO version of the Wubi input method in Win8.1, but the real situation is that the author did encounter a lot of netizens to ask how to find METRO Wubi. In fact, the reason for the incident is not complicated, but Microsoft has not opened it by default (it is estimated that the number of users is too small~). Of course, if you really need it, it is easy to click the input method indicator → language preference, then check "ldquo; Chinese (People's Republic of China)" in the pop-up window, and then click “options”→ “Add input method”→“Microsoft WuBi”→“Add” The entire step is only done once, and then you can access it in the language bar at any time.

4. Lock screen for wallpaper is also smart

Win7 desktop wallpaper timing change, now look at the long-awaited, Win8 new lock screen interface suddenly grab It has a lot of limelight. Perhaps you already know that Win8.1 can make lock screen wallpapers change regularly, but you may not know that the system can automatically skip images with low pixel or inappropriate aspect ratio. There is no difference in the specific settings, just check the computer settings → computer and device → lock screen interface "Let Windows choose the slide show picture". Next, enjoy your ultimate desktop!

By the way, when the lock screen is turned on, the original system screen setting will be blocked. At this time, you can use the same interface. Click “ Turn off the screen after a period of time in the slide show, and pick a suitable off-screen time, and let the computer work longer.

5. Direct shooting under the lock screen

Envy the lock screen of IPHONE children's shoes directly? Now Win8 is also available. This function is hidden in the lock screen interface of Win8.1 (not the login interface), and the mouse can be activated by dragging the mouse down or dragging it slowly. Of course, this stuff is basically meaningless for laptops or desktops, but only when Win8 tablets are as popular as Android tablets is another matter. If you find that your computer can't adjust the camera, don't worry, open “computer settings”→“computers and devices”→ “lock screen interface”, at the bottom "from the bottom" Lock the screen using the camera & rdquo; hit a tick.

6. Your touchpad is inconvenient

Notebook children's shoes should have a deep understanding of this problem. Inadvertently touching the touchpad during daily typing is a common occurrence. The general solution is to reduce touchpad sensitivity with third-party drivers from touchpad manufacturers. However, you may not know that under Win8.1's "Computer Settings" &rarquo;&rarquo;Computers and Devices”→“Mouse and Touchpad” tags, there is a similar design, the principle is Touch adds a delay to reduce the potential for false touches.

7. Let the computer rest.

For what purpose, the author jumped out for those in the middle of the night. The tips are always abhorrent! In fact, the solution is very simple, that is, enter the "computer settings" & rdquo; & rarr; & ldquo; search and application & rdquo; & rarr; & ldquo; notification & rdquo;, open a so-called "quiet time". In short, this feature automatically blocks app notifications at fixed times of the day and automatically unmasks when the time is up. And if you're using a tablet, there's an option to help you decide whether to answer the call in quiet mode.

8. How big is the built-in application?

Win8.1 has a lot of built-in applications, but there aren't many boutiques, and unlike traditional desktop programs, Microsoft seems to be deliberately hiding the true size of these applications. So how big are these applications? Recently, the author found that with the "Computer Settings & rdquo; → & ldquo; Search and Application & rdquo; & rarquo; & ldquo; Application Size & rdquo; tab to see the specific size of each application, and also with a one-click uninstall, which application Not pleasing to the eye, just kill it!

Figure 10 Just found that these applications occupy so much space

9. Numeric keyboard when the mouse

Many times the mouse is not a panacea, especially when you type or make a chart When you let your right hand leave the keyboard and explore the mouse that doesn't know where it is, it's the best choice to reduce efficiency. Try the mouse button provided by Win8.1. Its main function is to simulate the numeric keypad area as a mouse, 4, 8, 6, 2 move, Ctrl and Shift keys to control acceleration and deceleration. However, if you plan to go deeper, you have to enter the traditional control panel → easy to use → easy to use the settings center & rarr; set the mouse button to adjust, overall is a good feature.

10. Wave the recipe for the recipe

Have you used the new recipes for Win8.1? Production process + shopping list, I believe the housewives must be very happy. But the real highlight is not here, see the menu in the menu, "free hands control mode", what do you mean? That is, the finger does not need to touch the screen (and of course the mouse is not used), but the page can be turned back and forth on the camera. Cool function, in fact, the startup is also very simple, just click on the recipe page <; hands-free mode & rdquo;, and then wait for the top right corner " hands-free & rdquo; become "open" & rdquo; after the martial arts The feeling of the master!

Figure 12 Click here to launch <; Hands-free mode & rdquo;

Figure 13 As long as the prompt "Open", you can wave to the camera~

11 . SKYDRIVE! Not just the cloud

Don't assume that SKYDRIVE is synonymous with "cloud", in fact it may also be an excellent METRO version of the resource manager. In the newly added Skydrive application of Win8.1, the author found such a change, that is, when I clicked on the upper left corner & ldquo;SKYDRIVE”, I found out that I can choose "this computer" (yes, it was once “My computer”), then a METRO version of the resource manager is presented. From the interface point of view, there is still a gap between this manager and the traditional version of the resource manager, mainly in terms of both functional and operational convenience. But the benefits are also obvious, because the whole process is designed according to the METRO style, so the …… touch screen users should be very happy.

12. Search can still be classified.

Win8.1 has improved the search function and will display one by default. As a result of the integration, the classification labels such as files, applications, and settings will no longer exist. However, you have to admit that this traditional classified search sometimes has a place, such as when you find that the results given by the system do not have the one you want. …… Well, backtracking may not be difficult before, the only need you All you have to do is use the search in the Charm column. So …… the category menu appears, then, you know!
