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.

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.

Not only does the Action Center display all of your recent app notifications, but it also contains a set of quick action tiles that lets you trigger frequently used features faster.
