Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcuts Windows Show the Windows 10 Start Menu Windows + Tab Launch Windows 10 Task View Windows + Q Search the web and Windows with Cortana (speech) Windows + S Search the web and Windows with Cortana (keyboard input) Windows + I Open Windows 10 settings Windows + A Open Windows 10 notifications Windows + L Lock your Windows 10 device Windows + Ctrl + D Create new virtual desktop Windows + Ctrl + F4 Close current virtual desktop Windows + Ctrl + [Left][Right] Switch between virtual desktops Windows + [Left][Right][Up][Down] Position windows on your screen E.g. Windows + [Left] moves the current window to the left half of your screen. If you use Windows + [Up] afterwards, the current window will be placed in the upper left quarter of your screen. And, what’s very handy in my opinion: If you release the Windows key after positioning a window, Task View shows up on the opposite side of the positioned window to select and position another app. Windows + H Share content (if supported by current app) Windows + K Connect to wireless displays and audio devices Windows + X Open Start button context menu Windows + G Opens the Windows 10 Game Bar to take game screenshots and record gaming videos of Windows 10 games (works in any game app, e.g. Microsoft Solitaire Collection) Windows + D Show Windows desktop Windows + E Open Windows Explorer Windows + Space Switch keyboard input language (if you have added at least a second one) Windows + Shift + [Left][Right] Move current Window from one monitor to another (when using a multiple monitor setup) Windows + [1][2][3][…] Open programs that are pinned to task bar E.g. if first pinned program on your task bar is Windows Explorer (from left to right), the shortcut Windows + 1 opens Windows Explorer for you. Windows + R Run a command Windows + P Project a screen Alt + Tab Switch to previous window Alt + Space Restore, move, size, minimize, maximize or close current window. Also works like a charm for Windows 10 modern apps. Alt + F4 a) Close current window b) If you’re on your Windows 10 desktop, open Power dialogue to shut down or restart Windows, put your device in sleep mode, sign out or switch the current user

Some windows trick bits: Double Clicking on the left-top of any window closes it. If you ever wanted to restart the Windows Explorer, Click on Start, press and hold Ctrl+Shift Keys, right click on a blank space; You'll find Exit Explorer option! (Warning, you need to open task manager and "Start a New Task ( explorer) " to get it back) On Windows 8 in Desktop mode, Hold Ctrl-Shift and right-click anywhere on the task bar>click exit explorer Winkey + PrnScrn to take a screenshot of the screen. It saves the screenshots under Libraries\Pictures\Screenshots Folder. (On Windows 8) Ever wondered how to get the Start Menu, without using the Win Key? Try Ctrl+Esc ! To Launch first through ninth icon on taskbar, including items pinned to taskbar, press Winkey + 1 ... Winkey + 9 Create a new folder, save it as some_name.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} This is a hack that creates an access to all the settings in windows. It's very handy. To review your computer's Reliability and Problem history, there is something called Reliability Monitor, Simply type reliability in the Start Search box and click on view reliability history. Try it! Most of the users do not know this! The Problem Steps Recorder : Search for and run "psr" from the Start menu. Click Start Record, and the utility will record your activities through a series of screen shots, automatically including captions that show exactly where you clicked. You can also use the Add Comment button to highlight specific areas of the screen and insert custom annotations. When you stop recording, everything will be stitched together and saved as a Web browser-compatible MHTML (MIME HTML) file, conveniently pre-ZIPped and ready for e-mailing to your geek of choice. There is a utility built-into Windows that will overwrite all the free space on a hard drive, insuring any files you've deleted stay dead. Launch a command prompt and type cipher /w:X where X is the letter of the drive or partition you want to wipe. Be patient—the process can take a long time if you have a lot of free space. You can create a shortcut to applications, but do you know that you can assign them as Keyboard shortcuts? Right click on the created shortcut (To any application) and assign a keyboard shortcut Like Tech bytes Source: Quora

Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla have joined hands to create code for use in the future web browsers that promises up to 20 times faster performance. Dubbed WebAssembly (or wasm for short), a project to create a new portable bytecode for the Web that will be more efficient for both desktop as well as mobile web browsers to parse than the complete source code of a Web page or an application. Bytecode is actually a machine-readable instruction set that is faster for web browsers to load than high-level languages. WebAssembly — A New File Format to Compile Code At the moment, browsers use JavaScript to interpret the code and allow functionality on websites such as dynamic content and forms. By default, JavaScript files are downloaded from the server and then compiled by the JavaScript engine in the web browser. However, improvements have been made to load times via Asm.js — the stripped-down JavaScript dialect described as an "assembly language for the web" — but bytecode-based systems such as .NET are faster and enable efficient compilation. WebAssembly will introduce a new file format that will allow developers to compile their code to a binary notation, which will then be executed inside each browser's (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, IE/Edge, Safari) JavaScript engine. If introduced as a standard implemented in all web browsers, WebAssembly could surely bring app-like performance to Web content as well as applications. Over 20% Faster Performance Preliminary tests already show that the binary representation is 23 times faster to parse than similar JavaScript applications optimized through Mozilla's widely supported asm.js for browsers, and 20 to 30 percent smaller than its actual file size. "I'm happy to report that we at Mozilla have started working with Chromium, Edge and WebKit engineers on creating a new standard, WebAssembly," said Mozilla developer Luke Wagner, "that defines a portable, size- and load-time-efficient format and execution model specifically designed to serve as a compilation target for the Web." Currently, only C and C++ code can be compiled into a WebAssembly (a.k.a wasm) file. Moreover, the developers of wasm know that JavaScript is supported everywhere so for older web browsers, they are providing a polyfill — a JavaScript script that will convert WebAssembly bytecode into asm.js for those browsers that don't support wasm. WebAssembly is still in its early days of development with no formal standards as of now. The specifications and the high-level design has also not decided yet, but with all four major browser developers working together, wasm should appear soon. Source: THN

Microsoft. #Build2015 Day 2... Microsoft has officially wrapped up its second keynote for this year’s Build Developer Conference. Today’s keynote wasn’t as announcement-heavy as the first, but here are the highlights. Windows 10 gets demoed on Arduino and Raspberry Pi This was hinted yesterday during the demo of HoloLens on a Raspberry Pi robot, but today Microsoft went a little further in its demo that ran its Windows 10 OS on both Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The demo focused on using the boards as a way to create “Internet of Things” functionality, such as enabling remote control on an Arduino device or building a camera using the boards to act as a security cam. ➤ Windows 10 is now available on Raspberry Pi and Arduino New developer tools Microsoft promised at the start of today’s conference that things will be even more technical than yesterday and delivered, announcing some new dev tools: Vorlon, a framework to help you remotely debug Javascript, Project Oxford, a set of APIs for processing face, vision and speech, and GitHub Enterprise for Azure The latter will feature Visual Studio 2015 integration as well. ➤ Vorlon is a new framework from Microsoft that helps you debug Javascript on remote devices ➤ Microsoft Azure gets GitHub Enterprise support. ➤ Microsoft built a fun tool that guesses your age How-old.net takes the Internet by a storm Having someone guess your age can either be a fun or terrifying activity. Microsoft wanted to demonstrate its technical abilities by building a website that attempts to guess your age and gender based on photos ➤ Microsoft to open a Reactor Space in San Francisco Source:TNW

As day one of Microsoft Build Developer Conference comes to a close, here’ .NET Core preview opens to Mac and Linux After a short chat about Microsoft Azure and a few demos, Microsoft announced that .NET Core, the company’s open source implementation software, is now available as a preview for Linux and Mac OS, allowing developers to build cloud applications on multiple platforms. Windows users can try out .NET Core RC and start their debugging fun today. Visual Studio Code goes live In addition to the above love for Mac and Linux, Microsoft also announced the release of Visual Studio Code, a code editor designed for those two operating systems. This can be used alongside the .NET Code software highlighted above. New Azure services arrive All within the first hour of the keynote, Microsoft continued on its Azure talk with the announcement of new services, including the Azure SQL Data Warehouse (a data warehouse-as-a-service offering to help companies keep track of data and queries used and Azure Data Lake (a big data repository). Developers can also make use of the new SQL elastic database pools that are designed to help companies better manage resources by eliminating the need to create a database for each new customer. Office Graph API allows cross-platform integrations for Office 2016 An hour into the keynote, Microsoft finally moved on to talking about Office 2016 – starting with a demo of how Office Graph API can enable cross-platform integrations that are available across its suite. For example, you can set an Uber ride reminder alert via Outlook for any calendar appointments you might have. Developers can now use add-in frameworks to build on top of Office, whether it’s Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook. The company estimates that it currently has 1.5 billon Office users transmitting a whopping 470 petabytes of data. Finally: WINDOWS 10 news! One long tease later, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella finally brings the conversation to Windows 10. The first announcement: The Windows Store is getting its own carrier billing service across 90 mobile operators to make it easier for customers to purchase apps, and developers to sell apps, without requiring a credit card. This will be available for all Windows 10 devices. Run universal Windows apps on desktop Microsoft demoed what it’s like to run Windows apps on a PC – or what it bills as “universal apps.” Even after the user closes the app on their desktop, they can still opt to receive notifications on the lower right corner to allow the app to run across all their devices. Android and iOS apps arrive on Windows 10 There were rumors earlier this week that Windows will somehow allow Android apps to run on its platform. Today Microsoft clarified the rumor by announcing that developers not only can port their Android app codes to Windows 10, but also iOS apps. Snap! This will certainly reduce the friction for developers hoping to expand their app offering to Windows 10 without requiring a whole lot of effort. The apps will port over on Windows as universal apps so you can use them on Windows 10 desktops as well. Spartan browser gets an official name: Microsoft Edge Project Spartan is officially no more: Microsoft unveiled an official name for the browser at Build – the Microsoft Edge. Personally, I miss the Spartan codename already. The browser will have note-taking and sharing features built-in, as well a new tab page and Web extension support. Windows 10 continuum for phones Fully backing its promise to make its service and devices as universal as possible, Microsoft also announced that Windows 10 phones can be used as a full computer. It make sense, really. Since Windows apps are universal anyway, Windows 10 continuum allows users to connect their devices via an HDMI cord to see their phone in full screen. In a demo, Joe Belfiore, Microsoft Corporate Vice President at Operating Systems Group, showed off PowerPoint from a Windows 10 phone on a desktop. Although the look and feel is very much like a native desktop app, it’s all running via a Windows 10 smartphone, and can even pull in photos from the camera roll to insert into slides. Windows Holographic demo Remember Microsoft’s foray into virtual reality last year? That division of MS is still at it with today’s showcase of Windows Holographic. While nothing particularly new was announced in this section, Microsoft did show off its development to make the HoloLens VR headset compatible with browsers, allowing wearers to walk around and resize Windows 10 app screens and interact with them through the holographic computing technology. You can also use voice command to make browsers follow you around… if you want that. Microsoft also demonstrated the use of HoloLens from a medical education perspective, and brought a student on stage to show how she can use the VR headset to study the human anatomy. She does so by examining the human body from various layers and zooming into specific bones and organs. And that wraps up the big news from Day 1! Stay tuned for our continued coverage of the Build conference this week. Source: TNW
