Fantastic Leila. No fancy multimedia intro, no annoying 'background' music tracks. 'Just' lots of useful information, presented in a clear and calm manner. You are a star, Leila. Thank you.
@@LeilaGharani I cherish your channel and have learned so much by watching your informative videos. Could you please consider producing a video in which you demonstrate how to change 00.00.00 date entries to the 00/00/00 format. This would save me so much time, as I have thousands of entries to correct. Thanks again.
The entire history will be deleted on reboot...unless you 'pin' them. Which means if you want something later and didn't pin it...it's gone. Stupid. I use 1Clipboard that does the opposite... autosaves everything on reboot and lets you delete what and when you want.
Even after working as a windows expert for 2 years, I could learn something new here. Would like to quote from a comment below: "Fantastic Leila. No fancy multimedia intro, no annoying 'background' music tracks. 'Just' lots of useful information, presented in a clear and calm manner."
Very informative video 😊 Here's my list. - Windows key + number key 1 through 9: It launches the program pinned in the taskbar at that location (Windows key + 1 launches the first and so on...) - Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Opens Task Manager directly without having to go through the Crtl+Alt+Del menu. - Windows Key+Ctrl+left/right arrow key: Switch Virtual desktops. - Windows Key Combinations: 1. Windows Key+D: Show Desktop/Restore Windows 2. Windows Key+W: Open Ink Workspace (Containing Snip and Sketch as "Fullscreen snip") 3. Windows Key+I: Windows settings 4. Windows Key+P: Duplicate display options (When using more than 1 screen) 5. Windows Key+R: Run dialog 6. Windows Key+E: Open File Explorer 7. Windows Key+A: Open Action Center 8. Windows Key+K: Connect to wireless audio or video devices. 9. Windows Key+Pause/Break Key (To the right of scroll lock): Open System Properties window (With OEM info)
Really useful. Instead of showing a silly thumbnail saying "You're using Windows all wrong" or something like that, this is just useful information presented clearly.
I have been using Windows since it first came out. At some point, Clipboard History was introduced, and I never knew about it until this video. What a time saver! Thanks.
@@vsnmrs ok Thx. I tried it also... but did a '+' and that's not needed. Now I find it. Just the WINkey and on azerty the ; At last I found the emotions ;-) Cheers
@@justinforder2835 Dear Justin hi, # is representing Windows key. If you use Windows key (#) + A, I, M ...e.t.c. you can find the good results 😊 Also, I want to add some another good shortcut keys as follows: #+E = Folder Search #+D = Desktop #+Shft+S = Capture Screen #+L = Lock of screen #+Alt+D = Time&Date #+X =Quick menü
Good one, as a power user even I learn some new tricks!! my favorites shortcuts: CTRL+ Shift +ESC => Task Manager Winkey(#) + L => lock the computer (Good security practice in many works with computers and users) Winkey(#) + E => Windows File Explorer Alt + Print Screen => doing screen capture only to active window
Some new things I learned here. The virtual desktop and focus assist will be very handy. I've always used the snipping tool, and later snip & sketch. However I do wish they came with the ability to type text. My typical use is to take a shot of something, put an arrow on it, and one or two words (drawn on with a clumsy bad handwriting mouse), and then shoot it off to someone or something. If I want to have proper text, then I have to resort to firing up Gimp (slow and cumbersome), and using the tools there. If I could be a faster screenshooter: Start screenshot program --> Click/Drag area to capture --> Type Text --> Draw Arrow --> save to clipboard --> shoot on teams/outlook/. 5-10 seconds from thought to communication. That's what I need.
13:00 "I often read for hours before I could finally sleep." I wish I had that problem. Usually I fall asleep after reading the same paragraph 10 times, and I don't even make it past page 1.
To activate clipboard history initially - it is enough to hit WinKey+V, it will ask you to activate the history. No need for searching in the menu's but the device synchronisation perhaps is also usable for some users. Great work as always, thank you!
I have used virtual desktop for a year and I think it is the most gamechanging feature. my setup: desktop #1: Work desktop #2: Social and surf desktop #3: gaming desktop #4: guest area pro tip: control + windows key + (left or right) to switch between Virtual Desktop for fast transition
Just used your 3 fingers, swipe up on trackpad, you can view every app and desktop. Using 3 fingers swipe left right, will open another app/open folder.
Thanks for putting this together. I have been using Windows 10 for 2 years now and I knew only 3 or 4 of these. Amazing tips I must say. Don't understand the users who are putting thumbs down.
Since you didn't take notes... 1. Clipboard history Windows + V 2. Sandbox Open windows features and check the (sandbox) option. Your computer will reboot to enable the change.. Some apps might not work tho when you activate this feature.. Eg: McAfee security scan plus 3. Virtual desktop Windows + ctrl + D 4. Hide Icons Right click >view>deactivate show desktop icons 5. Focus Assist Action center > focus Assist 6. Quick Assist (myFavourite) Just search for quick assist and follow the instructions 7. Aero shake Just shake it! 8. Split screen Windows + right or left arrow key 9. Night light Settings >display 10. Snip & Sketch Windows + shift + S
Thanks really much for your video There's a many other shortcuts, i remember some of them : #+Up Arrow = Maximize window #+Down Arrow = Minimize window #+Space = Switch languages #+Pause/Break = System info #+D = Show desktop #+Shift+M = Show all window #+U = Magnifier #+PrintScr = copy image of screen to clipboard #+I = Settings #+G = Record screen #+L = Logon screen #+S = Search CTRL+SHIFT+N=New folder I HOBE YOU BE THE BEST ♥ #Leila Gharani From Syria 🇸🇾
I have to admit that I had never heard of you prior to watching this terrific video. I've been using Windows for 20+ yrs, and didn't know a lot of this stuff. Well done, Leila!
That was great Leila. I know most of these but I think that most people ignore windows shortcuts and features. This one is a must see for every computer user
Amazing! I had no idea about most of these and I can already tell a few are going to make a huge difference for and my colleagues. It's crazy that in a group of intelligent professionals using windows computers for at least 40 hours a week, there was still so much we didn't know!
@Jean-Paul Teitu II Print Screen takes a screen shot of my window. Alt +Print Screen takes a screen shot of the active window. But these command don't save the capture in the same time. It is a big difference. Do I miss something ?
@Jean-Paul Teitu II The difference is the time. Suppose you have two screen shots to do. With your method, you have to take one screen shot, change software, paste it, save it, give it a name, close you program and do the same operations for the second one. With my method, you have to press Win + Print screen two times.
Security tip: If you're someone who uses password managers with complex (system generated) passwords, you probably use the copy feature of that software to get your password. For use cases like this (and other sensitive data), it's probably advisable to not use the sync option of the clipboard history feature as it could expose your otherwise secure information.
Girl, you just earned a new subscriber. Very detailed tutorial. I am going to point all my clients to this channel so they can learn without me having to go over it twenty times.
So very happy that I stumbled on this video. I got here from your equally helpful video on using OneNote. Just finding out about Quick Assist alone is huge. I have subscribed, but I'm pretty comfortable with my Excel use. Please do more videos on using Windows 10 and other parts of MS Office. I suspect there are a number of hidden gems in there that I don't even know exist! Many thanks!
Not sure how I got by before you showed me the virtual desktop and clipboard history. Amazing video! I am more impressed and informed with every video you release!
Not sure if someone already mentioned about the Snap Assist. Win + Arrow keys will help to snap the window in either side. Right/Left will help to align to right/left half of the screen. After align to one side and two windows aligned. If we pick one window and press up/down arrow, it will shrink the window to one of the 4 quadrant of the screen. The one problem with moving window to edge of the screen is, if the desktop extended to another monitor, this drag window to extreme side won't help on one if the screen. At that time, this shortcut key will help.
Hi Leila. Awesome Windows 10 tips! I especially like Clipboard History and Remote Assist. I wish Sandbox was possible on Windows Home. Thanks for sharing :)) Thumbs up!!
There were three I found very useful: Hide all icons on desktop, shake the window to hide all other windows, and Snip & Sketch keyboard shortcut. Thanks!
Great tips, Leila - thanks! Your “parents” example for Quick Assist was on point. I use QA a lot, but with only 1 customer - my 89-year old father. It works so well & easily that most sessions occur with a call from him to ask “can we do a Quick Assist?” 🙂
@@LeilaGharani You're right. During the past two weeks of social distancing outside Chicago, he's downloaded, set up & used Skype, Facetime, Zoom, Google Hangouts, & maybe some other apps. Fortunately, I have 2 siblings & Dad has 12 grandchildren scattered across the US. He's retired & the rest of us (except 1) are lucky enough to still be working, so we're taking turns at the other end of his learning experiences. :-)
Wonderful list of features,if you remember the Office XP from 2002, the clipboard is just a polished version of the office clipboard 😀 nostalgia from those clippy days 😀
Dear Leila, So much thanks for sharing such wonderful tips that are hidden gems in our OS. I am so grateful for this learning opportunity and now I am considering Skillshare if its affordable. It's been a bummer as my skillsets are getting obsolete and found some light here! :) Really very thankful. Am taking notes as I watch your vlogs and will explore the rest. You're such a wonderful person! Stay safe and healthy :) Cheers!
random life saving hotkeys: ctrl + 1, 2, 3 .... 9 to switch between tabs in chrome. 9 takes to the last one. shift + left or right to select text letter by letter without having to use mouse. shift + ctrl + left or right to select text word by word windows + e opens file explorer Ctrl + shift + n to make a new folder (dont have to right click --> new--> new folder) windows + d to minimize everything quickly Edit: Tab normally moves to next selection but no one knows shift + tab goes to previous selection.
I'd completely forgotten about Clipboard History so thanks for that. Clip & Sketch is really useful and I have it default to copy to the clipboard. Excellent video :-)
Already delighted @ the 1st tip that I will now constantly use. And during these unprecedented times it is so refreshing to take a break from the madness and watch your one of yours insightful videos. Thanks!
Since you didn't take notes... 1. Clipboard history Windows + V 2. Sandbox Open windows features and check the (sandbox) option. Your computer will reboot to enable the change.. Some apps might not work tho when you activate this feature.. Eg: McAfee security scan plus 3. Virtual desktop Windows + ctrl + D 4. Hide Icons Right click >view>deactivate show desktop icons 5.

Majority of these tips are very new for me and very interesting to know about. I was laughing all through that knowledge is power, and in addition, you just add a new subscriber. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Back in the day, Microsoft did the operating system, and then you went to the library to get many books to learn about it. We need more videos like this detailing how to get the most from Windows 10. Most videos you watch are simply not as clear as this one, nor do they have the content that we all need. More please. My key press is Win + Shift + Left or Right arrow key = for dual monitor setup, moves your screen to the other monitor (whether it is on or off) and visa versa.
WOW! I have watched hundreds of videos on TH-cam for this very particular subject but this one by far was the best of it's own kind. What was described and how made it's top of my chart. I am a subscriber now.
The clipboard history feature is a huge new tool for me. Thank you so much. My favorite Windows tip is a feature I use because my eyes aren't as good as they used to be Windows + the "+" key magnifies the screen to 200%. Hit it again, 400%, etc. Unfortunately there isn't anything less than 200%, but it's okay. Windows + the "-" key steps it back down one notch. I wish I knew about the split windows screen a few days ago. Entering information into Excel from a .pdf document sucks when you have yo keep jumping back and forth.
Hi Leila, thank you for sharing those tips! I would like to add something to tip no.3 - this is for touchpad users - you can activate Virtual Desktop screen by swiping with 3 fingers up, and navigate between all Virtual Desktops by swiping left/right with 4 fingers on the touchpad. Hope somebody finds this useful. Best, Rafal
1. Press the win key and type: winver (+ enter) You get nice info of your Windows version. 2. Hold win key + pause for faster access to device manager and advanced system settings. 3. Use the right click on start menu icon (bottom left). 4. Use sound limiter in sound control settings (enhancements). It helps a lot with youtube videos with poor sound dynamics (background music competing with voice, extremely loud sound bursts). 5. Check the Startup tab in Task Manager to see which apps have the most impact on your system's (re)boot speed. 6. Check the GPU monitor in Task Manager to see how much video ram is used by your system (dedicated GPU memory). This is very useful for people with low vRAM graphic cards. Many apps nowadays use GPU acceleration and memory from your graphics card. You can test which apps use the most of vRAM and should be turned off before gameplay. 7. Win10 Pro, Enterprise and Servers have the most powerful centralized tool in Windows. Group Policy Editor. GPO has many more options you can find in Windows settings. GPO is the boss.

Would recommend Ditto Clipboard Manager. Supports more formats, better history and my favourite part is that you can search.

The Win + V has forever changed my life. So many times I've been like "Crap, I just eliminated the last thing I wanted copied!" Thank you!
My pleasure. I use it every day too :)
I have activated Clipboard History, but nothing happens. What could be the reason? Can this be blocked by admin?
Thursdays with Leila … a 'must' view weekly event … never disappoints.
ctrl+shift+esc to open task manager directly. instead of ctrl+alt+del and then selecting the task manager
Thanks!
Thanks!
Or, right click on the taskbar and select Task Manager
What? OMG! Thanks!!
Nice, didnt know about this shortcut but damn it's awkward to press. I normally use right click taskbar > Task Manager
Very informative video 😊 Here's my list.
- Windows key + number key 1 through 9: It launches the program pinned in the taskbar at that location (Windows key + 1 launches the first and so on...)
- Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Opens Task Manager directly without having to go through the Crtl+Alt+Del menu.
- Windows Key+Ctrl+left/right arrow key: Switch Virtual desktops.
- Windows Key Combinations:
1. Windows Key+D: Show Desktop/Restore Windows
2. Windows Key+W: Open Ink Workspace (Containing Snip and Sketch as "Fullscreen snip")
3. Windows Key+I: Windows settings
4. Windows Key+P: Duplicate display options (When using more than 1 screen)
5. Windows Key+R: Run dialog
6. Windows Key+E: Open File Explorer

I love the "look at multiple windows with split screen". I use it all the time now.
How do I split it into 4?
Just used your 3 fingers, swipe up on trackpad, you can view every app and desktop. Using 3 fingers swipe left right, will open another app/open folder.
Leila never disappoints with her videos! Thank you!!!

Great shortcuts. Thanks for sharing!
Could you clarify about splitting the screen in 4 parts to open 4 different applications ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Press Win + ← or →. The window takes half of the screen.
Press Win + ↑ or ↓ to make it fit either the upper or lower quarter of the screen.

@@LeilaGharani You're right. During the past two weeks of social distancing outside Chicago, he's downloaded, set up & used Skype, Facetime, Zoom, Google Hangouts, & maybe some other apps. Fortunately, I have 2 siblings & Dad has 12 grandchildren scattered across the US. He's retired & the rest of us (except 1) are lucky enough to still be working, so we're taking turns at the other end of his learning experiences. :-)
Wonderful list of features,if you remember the Office XP from 2002, the clipboard is just a polished version of the office clipboard 😀 nostalgia from those clippy days 😀
Leila, I saw the video yesterday and today I already used Quick Assist. Great tip
Great! Glad you could apply it right away, Ricardo.
Dear Leila,
So much thanks for sharing such wonderful tips that are hidden gems in our OS. I am so grateful for this learning opportunity and now I am considering Skillshare if its affordable. It's been a bummer as my skillsets are getting obsolete and found some light here! :) Really very thankful. Am taking notes as I watch your vlogs and will explore the rest. You're such a wonderful person!
Stay safe and healthy :)
Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you find the tutorials helpful.
Thanks. I knew some of them, but you taught me some, too. Great help!
random life saving hotkeys:
ctrl + 1, 2, 3 .... 9 to switch between tabs in chrome. 9 takes to the last one.
shift + left or right to select text letter by letter without having to use mouse.
shift + ctrl + left or right to select text word by word
windows + e opens file explorer
Ctrl + shift + n to make a new folder (dont have to right click --> new--> new folder)
windows + d to minimize everything quickly
Edit:
Tab normally moves to next selection but no one knows shift + tab goes to previous selection.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing!
AGAIN, another extremely useful list to make use of especially the clipboard history. I also just subscribed to Skillshare today. Thanks!
I'd completely forgotten about Clipboard History so thanks for that. Clip & Sketch is really useful and I have it default to copy to the clipboard. Excellent video :-)
All of them are useful. Some of them I already using. and some are new to me - thanks for the video.
Already delighted @ the 1st tip that I will now constantly use. And during these unprecedented times it is so refreshing to take a break from the madness and watch your one of yours insightful videos. Thanks!
That's great Ben. Glad you find it useful.
Since you didn't take notes...
1. Clipboard history
Windows + V
2. Sandbox
Open windows features and check the (sandbox) option. Your computer will reboot to enable the change.. Some apps might not work tho when you activate this feature.. Eg: McAfee security scan plus
3. Virtual desktop
Windows + ctrl + D
4. Hide Icons
Right click >view>deactivate show desktop icons
5. Focus Assist
Action center > focus Assist
6. Quick Assist (myFavourite)
Just search for quick assist and follow the instructions
7. Aero shake
Just shake it!
8. Split screen
Windows + right or left arrow key
9. Night light
Settings >display
10. Snip & Sketch
Windows + shift + S
Majority of these tips are very new for me and very interesting to know about. I was laughing all through that knowledge is power, and in addition, you just add a new subscriber. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great to have you here!
Thank you very much Leila, I had no idea about virtual desktop. That, and clipboard history will prove to be very useful.
What happened to the “PIN” feature? I mean, pin a website url to your desktop with a little icon. I used to use this a lot.
Great video! ❤
As a new windows user, this video helped me a lot. Thank you!
Hi Leila, Thanks for sharing the tips. Sand box, virtual desktop, Clip board and quick assist are very useful for me. 😊👍
I assume the 106 thumbs down are Apple users! Very good tutorial! Windows 10 can easily can be an under utilized OS without these tutorials.
Back in the day, Microsoft did the operating system, and then you went to the library to get many books to learn about it. We need more videos like this detailing how to get the most from Windows 10. Most videos you watch are simply not as clear as this one, nor do they have the content that we all need. More please.
My key press is Win + Shift + Left or Right arrow key = for dual monitor setup, moves your screen to the other monitor (whether it is on or off) and visa versa.
Thank you for the kind words Paul. Glad you find the video helpful.
WOW! I have watched hundreds of videos on TH-cam for this very particular subject but this one by far was the best of it's own kind. What was described and how made it's top of my chart. I am a subscriber now.
Wow, thank you! Glad to have you here.
Awesome, may I ask where you find all that info? The Sandbox feature is great!
Thank you Girl .You are a wonderful teacher .
My IT Dept has to learn a lot from you
Wow, very useful. Thank you so much.
Super .. VD, clipboard history tips are awesome. Thanks
One favourite of mine is COLLECTIONS. I use it to bookmark so many websites; articles, recipes, etc. I set up many main heading categories.
The clipboard history feature is a huge new tool for me. Thank you so much. My favorite Windows tip is a feature I use because my eyes aren't as good as they used to be Windows + the "+" key magnifies the screen to 200%. Hit it again, 400%, etc. Unfortunately there isn't anything less than 200%, but it's okay. Windows + the "-" key steps it back down one notch.
I wish I knew about the split windows screen a few days ago. Entering information into Excel from a .pdf document sucks when you have yo keep jumping back and forth.
Hi Leila, thank you for sharing those tips!
I would like to add something to tip no.3 - this is for touchpad users - you can activate Virtual Desktop screen by swiping with 3 fingers up, and navigate between all Virtual Desktops by swiping left/right with 4 fingers on the touchpad.
Hope somebody finds this useful.
Best, Rafal
Thanks for the tip Rafal!
1. Press the win key and type: winver (+ enter)
You get nice info of your Windows version.
2. Hold win key + pause for faster access to device manager and advanced system settings.
3. Use the right click on start menu icon (bottom left).
4. Use sound limiter in sound control settings (enhancements). It helps a lot with youtube videos with poor sound dynamics (background music competing with voice, extremely loud sound bursts).
5. Check the Startup tab in Task Manager to see which apps have the most impact on your system's (re)boot speed.
6. Check the GPU monitor in Task Manager to see how much video ram is used by your system (dedicated GPU memory). This is very useful for people with low vRAM graphic cards. Many apps nowadays use GPU acceleration and memory from your graphics card. You can test which apps use the most of vRAM and should be turned off before gameplay.
7. Win10 Pro, Enterprise and Servers have the most powerful centralized tool in Windows. Group Policy Editor. GPO has many more options you can find in Windows settings. GPO is the boss.
Wow, thanks for sharing these great tips!
