The "allways on top" setting could have saved me years of my life and many a salty tears

Quick tip for all of you people out there with apps/games that freeze frequently; I suggest you always keep a notepad open with unsaved changes. This way, when you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, you can select restart and it will close the program, but then give you tells you you have unsaved changes in Notepad, at which time you can click cancel and the program will have been closed and you didn't have to shut down your pc.

I hope this helps some of you guys as it did me. :D

Thanks for the great tips, I used about 7 of them. I've always been annoyed by not having a full path or even File Extensions appearing in Explorer and it's also comforting to get Command Prompt back. Well Done!

Here are some tips for you

Windows+Shift+S allows you to take a screenshot of all or part of your screen by drawing a shape around what you wanna screenshot. This will copy it to the clipboard, great if you wanna Ctrl+V the image to someone in an email, discord, or anywhere else that allows sending photos. Combine this with the "Clipboard history" Option and you can pin as many pictures as you want. This will allow you to effectively have a little gallery where you can send pictures from anywhere, to anywhere.

Windows+D shows desktop, press again to re-open the minimized windows

Windows+C opens cortana

Windows+E is a personal favorite; this opens the file manager.

Another favorite is
Windows+I (i); this opens settings

Windows+A opens your action center AKA the notification panel

Windows+L instantly locks the PC

Windows+W opens a little prompt in the bottom right. From there you can either do a fullscreen snip or open MS Whiteboard.

Windows+Q // Windows+S opens search

*CTRL+Z WORKS* in more situations than you might think. Ever accidentally erase a bunch of text on a youtube comment? Ctrl+Z has your back

Get quick with key combinations. One of my favorites is "Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X" to instantly delete and copy all the text in what i'm writing so i can write something else, send it, then continue writing what i was.

Edit:
Alt+Enter opens properties for any selected file/folder

Ctrl+Shift+N opens an incognito window in almost any browser
Ctrl+Shift+N also creates a new folder in File Manager

This video is a life saver. Whenever I'm looking for something recently downloaded in the recent folder or when looking for something by is specific name nothing ever comes up! Now I can find files easily. Who would of thought Windows by default would not search for files on your computer in the search options.

Great tips! Especially the toggle for "This PC" view option in Explorer. So, thank you for that.
Another area in Windows 10 that everyone reading this may want to examine immediately, is your "Manage your credentials" panel, in User Accounts. Especially if you are concerned about a recently odd, or suspicious, behavior in your file permissions. For example, like suddenly not being able to escalate a file permission level to admin, so you can make a change.
Click on Start, scroll down and click on "Windows System" folder, click on "Control Panel", click on "User Accounts", click on "Credential Manager", then "Windows Credentials."
By default (when Windows 10 is newly installed), all three of these credential areas are empty.
You should see "No Windows credentials", "No certificates", and "No generic credentials", for each type.
If you DO see added credentials listed here, especially under generic, your system has likely been accessed, and compromised via a remote network session (from the
Internet). Imo, any generic credentials should be deleted immediately. Windows and Certificates should be investigated, and deemed valid before deletion. But its likely they are shady as well.

Thanks ThioJoe! I graduated from IT School as Network Manager and my old school tries to remove my Microsoft Office I paid for at the school (full price) Because of your video’s they can’t try anything no more. I’m saved! 😁

Regarding the power options being switched to "High Performance, " that can sometimes cause CPUs to always run at their boost clocks rather than adjusting clock speed and voltage to the CPU load. I'm not sure about newer GPUs, but I've seen it happen on my GTX 1060 as well.

[finnsstuffs]

heres a helpful tip, sometimes the always on top feature doesn't always work, when that happens you can hold *win + tab* * New Desktop* then when you done hold *ctrl + win + right arrow/left arrow*

[jonathany]

Great video thanks! I haven't used windows since XP so this was refreshing!

[DimusTech]

The clipboard history....
YOU literally blew my
I had no idea Microsoft added such feature there!

[mixolydian]

Thanks for all of this, Joe. You present the best tech channel on YouTube, so comprehensive that there's no need to go elsewhere!

[austinhealey]

Thank you for the "always on top" setting in the task manager. I'm a gamer and sometimes my games freeze up, and the only thing I can do is hit the power button and dive for the mouse and click cancel before the computer turns off.

Good stuff. I'm on my Chromebook right now, but I've bookmarked it for the next time I'm on my Windows machine! Liked and saved to watch (again) later.

I love the multiple copy and paste tip, I use copy and past at least 100 times each day at work. Now I will "paste" as much, and reduce the "copy" by about 75%

[wongkingshun]

U got so many videos. Possibly need to spend another two hours to watch.

Quick Access can actually be super convenient for recent files if you’re constantly importing/exporting files in creative applications. I used to hate it until recently!

Your channel is the best help desk I've encountered yet!
