In general, when I leave my computer, I put it to sleep. The reason I use this option is because I leave for extended periods of time. If I were working in an office and had to get up for only ten minutes or so, I certainly wouldn’t put the machine to sleep. I’d likely […]

How to Save Files as PDF Versions in Windows 10
One aspect of operating a computer, for who knows how long, that’s been problematic is the saving of a file or document as a PDF. If you’re not sure what a PDF is, it’s an acronym for Portable Document Format and it was created by Adobe. In the most basic sense, a PDF is a […]
3 Ways to Close Applications in Windows 10
This is going to be a very quick post because the topic is rather basic.

New Features for Microsoft Edge in Windows 10
I have to be honest with you here. I’m not a big browser guy. Well, anymore that is. I suppose I was in a previous life. Like almost everyone else who used the internet since 1995, I browsed the web using Microsoft Internet Explorer. It was fine. I didn’t notice that anything was wrong with […]

Without a doubt, the task bar is […]
Changing File Explorer Quick Access to This PC in Windows 10
