Some examples of notifications are\n\t\t\tregarding new available updates of apps, detected viruses on the\n\t\t\tcomputer and new emails. They can be very useful. However, there\n\t\t\tmay be times when notifications come in the way.

A number of personalized settings can be modified, too. At\n\t\t\tthe bottom-right corner of the Windows Desktop, notifications can\n\t\t\tbe viewed by clicking on the, Notifications, icon on the taskbar.\n\t\t\tWhen enabled, notifications from apps pop up and close after a\n\t\t\tshort period of time in this area of the Desktop. One example of a\n\t\t\tcommon notification is, an update for an app available. This\n\t\t\tnotification would let users know that a new update for the app\n\t\t\thas been released. Apps set to be updated manually provide\n\t\t\tnotifications of the availability of updates for them. Another\n\t\t\texample of a notification is, a new email has arrived to your\n\t\t\temail account’s Inbox, if the email account is signed in or you\n\t\t\tare using an email client like Outlook.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\tPower<\/font>\n\t\t\tUsage<\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\tPower\n\t\t\tusage settings can be modified in the Control Panel’s, Power\n\t\t\tOptions, section to be able to save energy. Some areas of power\n\t\t\tconsumption reduction include balancing performance with power\n\t\t\tconsumption, reducing power consumption where ever possible and\n\t\t\tthe reduction of screen output while the computer is idle for an\n\t\t\textended period of time. Screen savers are used by Windows to\n\t\t\treduce screen display output while idle for an extended amount of\n\t\t\ttime using either a black screen or a combination of a black\n\t\t\tscreen and a limited graphical display that is moving. When the\n\t\t\tcomputer is using as little energy as possible while idle, its\n\t\t\tlifespan is prolonged, too. Laptops need to utilize power saving\n\t\t\toptions in order to preserve their batteries.

Less issues will arise as a result and the computer should\n\t\t\tperform better in terms of speed. Also, files in the Documents and\n\t\t\tPictures folders will be more organized, too. By uninstalling\n\t\t\tunnecessary apps, the speed of the computer will be improved. Less\n\t\t\tRAM will be utilized by apps that have processes running in the\n\t\t\tbackground. Having Windows 10 to automatically update itself\n\t\t\tthrough automatic updates from Microsoft ensures vulnerabilities\n\t\t\tare patched when security updates are released. Updates also\n\t\t\tupdate features which have been changed and new features are\n\t\t\tinstalled at times. Emptying the Recycle Bin after a certain\n\t\t\tperiod of time eliminates deleted files from Windows and frees up\n\t\t\tmore storage space on the computer’s Hard Drive. It is important\n\t\t\tto note that files in the Recycle Bin cannot be opened unless they\n\t\t\tare Restored to the computer’s filesystem or external disk\n\t\t\tdrive(s). A Restored file can be opened as if it was not deleted.\n\t\t\tRecycle Bin files still count as used Hard Drive space even though\n\t\t\tthey are no longer in their original location(s).<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/computerbasicshub.net\/computerbasicshub.html\">Click\nMe<\/a> \n<\/p>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Desktop Start Menu Settings and Control Panel Network Settings Security Windows Care Desktop The Desktop The Desktop is the graphical user interface for Windows users to utilize Windows 10.

Apps which are open but\n\t\t\t\tminimized will show a bar underneath their icon on the taskbar.\n\t\t\t\tIf there are multiple instances of the same app open, Windows for\n\t\t\t\teach instance will appear on the screen when the icon of the app\n\t\t\t\tis clicked on within the taskbar.

Screen savers are used by Windows to\n\t\t\treduce screen display output while idle for an extended amount of\n\t\t\ttime using either a black screen or a combination of a black\n\t\t\tscreen and a limited graphical display that is moving. When the\n\t\t\tcomputer is using as little energy as possible while idle, its\n\t\t\tlifespan is prolonged, too.

On home networks,\n\t\t\tthis can be done from computer to computer. Internet services in\n\t\t\tthe form of email also can link computer folders to cloud drive\n\t\t\tfolders once the cloud drive folders from the email service are\n\t\t\tinitially downloaded. As long as the email is signed in, the cloud\n\t\t\tfolders on the computer will be automatically updated. One example\n\t\t\tof this is with Outlook. The online cloud folders can be linked to\n\t\t\tWindows and updates to the folders on the Windows computer are\n\t\t\tseen on the Outlook.com cloud folders and vice versa.<\/p>\n\t\t\tUnder the,\n\t\t\t‘Network’ heading on the left pane of File Explorer, the devices\n\t\t\tyou can access folders from are listed.<\/p>\n\t\t\tFor folders\n\t\t\tbeing shared over a network, you can, accessed folders to local\n\t\t\tfolders, file transfer both ways.<\/p>\n\t\t\tOneDrive,\n\t\t\tOutlook’s cloud drive imports its folders upon signing into it and\n\t\t\ta link being created to the Windows computer.<\/p>\n\t\t\tIt is\n\t\t\timportant to consider privacy risks when sharing a folder with\n\t\t\tanother computer. The need to share a given folder across a\n\t\t\tnetwork evaluated, too. Sharing only the folders which need to be\n\t\t\taccessed elsewhere is a good practice for both privacy and\n\t\t\tsecurity reasons.<\/p>\n\t\t\tFor more\n\t\t\tinformation, please see the below link.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/office\/sync-onedrive-files-and-folders-3b8246e0-cc3c-4ae7-b4e1-4b4b37d27f68\">Microsoft\n\t\t\t– Sync OneDrive files and folders<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<table width=\"93%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"page-break-before: auto; page-break-after: auto\">\n\t<col width=\"256*\"\/>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border: none; padding: 0cm\">\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tSecurity<\/font>\n\t\t\t<\/b><\/font>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\tEnsuring\n\t\t\tthat a Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 computer is important.

Less issues will arise as a result and the computer should\n\t\t\tperform better in terms of speed. Also, files in the Documents and\n\t\t\tPictures folders will be more organized, too. By uninstalling\n\t\t\tunnecessary apps, the speed of the computer will be improved. Less\n\t\t\tRAM will be utilized by apps that have processes running in the\n\t\t\tbackground. Having Windows 10 to automatically update itself\n\t\t\tthrough automatic updates from Microsoft ensures vulnerabilities\n\t\t\tare patched when security updates are released. Updates also\n\t\t\tupdate features which have been changed and new features are\n\t\t\tinstalled at times. Emptying the Recycle Bin after a certain\n\t\t\tperiod of time eliminates deleted files from Windows and frees up\n\t\t\tmore storage space on the computer’s Hard Drive. It is important\n\t\t\tto note that files in the Recycle Bin cannot be opened unless they\n\t\t\tare Restored to the computer’s filesystem or external disk\n\t\t\tdrive(s). A Restored file can be opened as if it was not deleted.\n\t\t\tRecycle Bin files still count as used Hard Drive space even though\n\t\t\tthey are no longer in their original location(s).<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/computerbasicshub.net\/computerbasicshub.html\">Click\nMe<\/a> \n<\/p>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Desktop Start Menu Settings and Control Panel Network Settings Security Windows Care Desktop The Desktop The Desktop is the graphical user interface for Windows users to utilize Windows 10.
