Along with the Windows 10 Start button comes an improved Start menu. The classic feel of the Start menu has been retained and sprinkled with a modern look from the application tiles on the right side of the interface. By default, some application tiles are larger than others to give emphasis to those applications that Windows considers essential. However, what is important to Windows may not necessarily be important to you. Windows recognizes this and allows you to resize the application tiles. Customizing your Start menu with the tile sizes that you prefer for each application icon is simple. This article will show you how.
Rotating and cropping photos are probably the most common fixes that the everyday photographer makes. Cropping has become more and more necessary with phone cameras and social media sharing. Pictures taken with a phone camera need to be cropped to traditional aspect ratios if they are going to be printed and framed. Pictures used on Instagram and other apps need to be square. Your lock screen even has its own aspect ratio. Window’s Photos is helpful for this type of basic editing. Its rotating and cropping tools are easy to use and come with some preset aspect ratios you can use to get your photo into the shape you need. Let’s get started.
Windows 10 comes with a Maps app that, like all of the new Universal Apps, works on all Windows devices such as PCs, phones, and tablets. To get the most out of Maps, you should save places you frequently visit to your Favorites list so that you can quickly find directions and commute times to and from the places that are important to you (e.g., your home, work, favorite restaurants, or Grandma’s house).
I always have a few eBooks checked out from the library. When I am at home, I read all my eBooks on my Android tablet using the free OverDrive app. I recently discovered that I can download the OverDrive app to my iPhone and sync my books so that I never loose my place, even when I switch between devices. Following the steps in this tutorial, you can read your eBooks on a device with a larger screen at home, but have the option to read with just your cell phone when you are out and about.
Windows 10 offers updates through multiple sources. Aside from the usual download over the internet from Microsoft’s official servers, Windows 10 now allows you to get updates from other sources such as PCs on the internet and computers on your local connection. This is a good news especially for those who own multiple units. Now, you do not have to download updates to every PC. Downloading updates from one PC and sharing with other computers on the network will save download time and bandwidth. If you would like to learn how to get updates from other sources, then read on.
Laptops today are designed to be used on the go, which frequently means that users are not in a position to use a mouse. Many PC touchpads are not good for anything except moving your cursor around. However, Windows has made significant software improvements for laptop touchpads so that they now rival those of MacBooks (assuming that you are using a laptop with touchpad hardware). Laptops built for Windows 8 and later come with precision touchpads that can recognize a wide variety of gestures that control actions such as zooming, switching between programs, and activating Cortana.
The Start menu on Windows 10 has integrated live tiles into its main interface. Live tiles allow you to get a sneak peak of an application without actually opening it. Some live tiles update regularly to provide you with the latest news or information from the app. For example, the Sports tile will switch between photos and headlines of current sporting events, and the Store tile will display the latest and most popular applications for Windows. By default, some tiles have the live tile feature turned on. If you want to learn how to switch off live tiles, then you have come to the right page.
We need Windows updates to keep our computers running smoothly. However, when your computer decides that it needs to update RIGHT NOW and throws you off your groove while it reboots, the updates are annoying. Windows 10 updates and the accompanying restarts are mandatory, but Microsoft tries to make the whole process as painless as possible. By default, updates are automatically pushed to your device when you are not using it. This is how the process worked with previous versions of Windows. Although it works well for most people, it can be aggravating if your computer detects you are idle and restarts while you stepped a way for a break. Then you return, only to find you lost your unsaved work. This tutorial will walk you through how to change your update settings so that you will be asked to schedule each update as they are pushed to you.
Microsoft has upped the ante for multi-tasking on Windows 10. For one, you can open and view multiple windows on your computer monitor by using Snap. Aside from Snap, Windows 10 has made it easier for users to use virtual desktops. With virtual desktops, you can use multiple desktops, on the same machine, at the same time. This is good news for users who keep multiple tabs and applications open. Now, you can group your work that is in progress and applications that are running into individual desktops. Continue reading to learn how to use multiple virtual desktops on Windows 10.
SET NOCOUNT ON is a set statement which prevents the message which shows the number of rows affected by T-SQL query statements. This is used within stored procedures and triggers to avoid showing the affected rows message. Using SET NOCOUNT ON within a stored procedure can improve the performance of the stored procedure by a significant margin.
SQL Server IntelliSense is one of the smartest built-in tools to increase productivity while programming in SQL Server. However, it is not perfect. Often, when we create new objects like tables, stored procedures, or triggers and try to use them instantly in another code, SQL Server IntelliSense does not pick up those object names and their meta data quickly. This causes the need to type the object names manually. SQL Server also shows a red line under object names, though the created objects do exists in the database. This happens because the SQL Server IntelliSense Local cache does not get refreshed very often. To avoid this, we can manually refresh the SQL server IntelliSense cache.
Windows 10 has returned the Start button to its original place: the lower-left part of the screen. Aside from the familiar feel of the Start menu, Microsoft has fused live tiles into the feature, giving it both a classic and fresh look. The live tiles can be personalized based on your preference. You can add or remove an application tile by pinning and unpinning it from the Start menu. In this tutorial, you will discover how to customize your Start menu by adding or removing application tiles.
