81 Windows8 Tips

1. The new version of Win8 in the corner hot zone cancels the start menu, but you can still enter the Metro interface when you click the lower left corner with the mouse. In fact, the remaining corners have similar functions. For example, the upper left corner represents a cyclical switch between open Metro applications, the upper right corner represents the one-click activation of the Charm toolbar, the lower left corner is the Metro and traditional desktop toggle keys, and the lower right corner represents the minimization of all open programs (Metro interface The next represents the global display of the Metro group). 2. Program Shutdown We know that the Metro app does not have a close button. When the system switches from one app to another, Win8 will automatically hang it & rdquo;. Although the suspended state has no consumption of CPU and network bandwidth except for a small amount of memory, many people are still not used to "hanging" too much Metro process. The Consumer Preview allows you to close the Metro app by right clicking on the app toggle bar and closing the target app. Of course, you can also use the win7 era of "local law", directly with the task manager to get it! 3. One-click MetroMetro is the biggest highlight in Win8, but do you know that there are several ways to get into the Metro interface quickly? The first and easiest is to directly click on the bottom left corner of the desktop. Secondly, the Win key on the keyboard is also a good choice. In addition, the same thing can be achieved by the “Start” icon in Charm. Note: The ESC key and the Win key can also be used as shortcut keys for returning to the traditional interface by Metro. 4. “Start Menu> Many people know that hovering over the bottom left corner of the desktop will activate a thumbnail icon and click to enter the Metro interface. But you may not know, if you right click on this place, it will activate another hidden menu —— a small menu that looks like the old version of "Start Menu". In addition, Win+X can achieve the same purpose, don't forget it. 5. One-click lock screen temporarily leaves the computer
many times, how can we avoid others tampering with their own files? Of course you can click on the top right corner → “ lock & rdquo; (Metro interface), but an easier way is to directly press — — Win + L. Note: This shortcut can be used in the traditional interface. (Thanks to the reminder of the half city ash, the previous mistake was written as Ctrl+L) 6. The program uninstalled the control panel to find the uninstall, this is the old habit of more than ten years, Win8 can also do this. However, if you look closely, you will find that the program is uninstalled in the Metro interface. Just right-click on the program you want to process and select the “Uninstall” button. And this technique is not only suitable for traditional programs, but also for Metro applications. 7. Quick Shutdown The shutdown of Win8 has always been a headache. Because it is designed under a secondary menu, many new users can't find the shutdown button. Shortcuts are sometimes a good way to solve such problems. For example, Metro+ can use Win+I, and traditional interface can use Alt+F4. However, the most important thing is to use “Power Management” (by “Setting Search” →power→Change the function of the power button"Open) Set the power button to shutdown, and then just press the power off button as soon as possible. 8. Quick Search Metro interface supports direct keyword search, which is a feature that many people know. However, Win8 has been divided into three sub-entries: “Apply” and “Settings”, “Files”, and each search searches for “Apply”. Other results require users to manually switch. In fact, these three entries correspond to different shortcut keys, such as “ application & rdquo; corresponding to Win + Q, & ldquo; set & rdquo; corresponding to Win + W, & ldquo; file & rdquo; corresponding to Win + F, Which one is required to directly press the corresponding shortcut key is much more convenient than the previous manual switching. 9. The magnets have been tidying up for a long time. There are more and more icons under Metro. How can we keep them in order? In fact, in Win8, the tile can be easily moved and positioned. For example, you can drag and drop a tile to another tile group, right click on the tile to complete the hidden or size adjustment, and also drag and drop the tile to the group and A new grouping is formed between the groups. Tile grouping can also be managed by clicking the zoom button in the lower right corner of Metro. The function and method are the same as a single tile. 10. Input method switching Maybe you are used to "Ctrl+Shift"; switch keyboard layout, "Ctrl+space", switch keyboard language, but the two methods do not seem so easy to use in Win8. Try “Win+space”, it’s very convenient to have a look. Note: Use “Win+Space" to switch to Microsoft Pinyin, you can also use the “Shift” button to continue switching between Chinese and English mode. 11. Task Switching We know that the task switching bar can be activated when you hover your mouse over the top left or bottom left corner of the desktop. But this is not the most efficient way because of the short pause in the middle. In fact, Win+TAB has the same effect as the above operation, but it is more convenient to use. 12. IE launches the Metro version of IE does not support Plugin-in, so there are many users who prefer the program version of IE. But every time you have to → traditional desktop & rarr; double-click IE is not very troublesome? So a simpler way is —— just press Win+1 (Metro, the traditional interface is suitable ~) Note: The principle of the shortcut is to start the first project of Win8 taskbar, due to IE by default It is the first project in the taskbar, so we can complete the quick launch of IE. 13. No password login Win8 supports online accounts, but if your computer is at home, there is no need to enter the login password every time. In fact, Win8 can also achieve automatic login of the specified account just like Win7. To do this, type "<quo;netplwiz” in the "Run" box, select the account name you want to use, and then cancel the “ to use this computer, the user must enter the username and password> checkbox to Win8 provides the password for the account. 14. Press a~z to find the application. We said that Win8 can use Win+Q to search for the desired application, but it is troublesome if you don't know the keyword. In fact, we can let the system sort the application by itself, by clicking the lower right button on all application interfaces (right click on the Metro blank) and Win8 will automatically sort the application by a~z. Chinese characters are grouped by software vendors. As a result, application lookups are much simpler.
