Беккер искал какой-нибудь перекресток, любой выход, но с обеих сторон были только запертые двери. Теперь он уже бежал по узкому проходу. Шаги все приближались.

If you want to open another app, select the Back or Start button near the lower-left corner. This will take you back to the full-screen Start menu so you can open another application. If you want to see all of your open apps, press the Task view button near the lower-left corner, then choose the app you want.

If you want to use more than one app at the same time, you can use the Snap feature. To do this, drag the top of an app all the way to the right or left side of the screen. The app will snap into place. You can then choose another open app to fill up the other side of the screen. And it just felt detached from the rest of the Windows world. Turns out most people preferred the Start menu.

There were some nice aspects of the Start-screen idea, though. The Calendar tile shows you your next appointment. Your Mail tile shows the latest incoming subject line. The People tile shows Twitter and Facebook posts as they pour in. Not all Start menu tiles display their own names. Some apps, like the ones for Calendar, People, and Mail, are meant to be visual dashboards.

A tinted, rectangular tooltip bar appears, identifying the name. So in Windows 10, Microsoft decided to retain those colorful live tiles—on the right side of the Start menu Figure You can also adjust the height of the Start menu—by dragging the top edge. You can goose it all the way to the top of your screen, or you can squish it down to mushroom height. The right side, however, is your playground.

You can customize it in lots of different ways. If you have a mouse or a trackpad, you can make the right side of the Start menu either wider or taller; just grab the right edge or the top edge and drag. Maybe you were one of the 11 people who actually liked Windows 8, including the way it had a Start screen instead of a Start menu.

Well, that look is still available. Right-click anywhere on the desktop. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on the desktop. From the shortcut menu, choose Personalize. In this mode, the left side of the Start menu is gone. The live tiles fill your entire desktop which is handy for touchscreens.

Just turn on Tablet mode Chapter In Tablet mode, the Start screen is standard and automatic. With the Start menu open, just drag the tile to a new spot. The other tiles scoot out of the way to make room.

That works fine if you have a mouse or a trackpad. Instead, hold your finger down on the tile for half a second before dragging it. Tiles come in four sizes: three square sizes and one rectangle. As part of your Start menu interior decoration binge, you may want to make some of them bigger and some of them smaller. Maybe you want to make the important ones rectangular so you can read more information on them.

Maybe you want to make the rarely used ones smaller so that more of them fit into a compact space. Right-click the tile. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on the tile; tap the … button that appears.

From the shortcut menu, choose Resize. All icons give you a choice of Small and Medium; some apps offer Wide or Large options, too. Tiles on the right side come in four sizes: Small tiny square, no label ; Medium 4x the times of Small—room for a name ; Wide twice the width of Medium ; and Large 4x the size of Medium. Wide and Large options appear only for apps whose live tiles can display useful information. Drag them around into a mosaic that satisfies your inner Mondrian.

You can add tiles to the right side. They can be apps, folders, or disks but not individual files. You can use either of two techniques: dragging or right-clicking. The drag method. The right-click method. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on the icon for a second. From the shortcut menu, choose Pin to Start. In the Edge browser, you can also add a web page to the right side. With the page open, click the … button at top right; choose Pin to Start.

In each case, the newly installed tile appears at the bottom of the right side. You might have to scroll to see it. Some of your right side tiles are live tiles— tiny dashboards that display real-time incoming information.

There, on the Mail tile, you see the subject lines of the last few incoming messages; there, on the Calendar tile, is your next appointment; and so on. It has to be said, though: Altogether, a Start menu filled with blinky, scrolling icons can look a little like Times Square at midnight. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on it, and then tap. Open the Start menu. Right-click the tile you want to eliminate. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on it, and then tap the … button. From the shortcut menu, choose Unpin from Start.

It works like this:. Drag a tile to the very bottom of the existing ones. Touchscreen: Hold your finger still for a second before dragging. When you drag far enough—the right side might scroll, but keep your finger down—a horizontal bar appears, as shown in Figure You want to create a new group right here. Go get some other tiles to drag over into the new group to join it, if you like.

If you like, you can drag that strip up or down to move the entire group to a new spot among your existing groups. Or horizontally, if you have a multicolumn right side. Top: To create a new tile group, start by dragging one lonely tile below all other tiles. This is your colonist. Let go. Bottom: Type a name for the group. Use the grip strip to drag the group into a new spot, if you like. At any point, you can rename a group click or tap its name; type.

To eliminate a group, just drag all of its tiles into other groups, one at a time. When the group is empty, its name vanishes into wherever withered, obsolete tile groups go. If you like your Start menu to look like it did in the good old days, with only the left side showing, you can do that, as shown in Figure Now you can open apps only from the left side or the taskbar.

Top: To remove all the tiles from the right side, right-click it and choose Unpin from Start. Touchscreen: Hold your finger down on the tile, and then tap the … button to see Unpin from Start. Middle: Now only the left column remains, just as it was in Windows 7.

Bottom: Drag the right edge of the menu inward, closing up the empty space where the right side used to be. You can also change colors of the various Start menu elements and the taskbar, and the Action Center.

See Chapter 4 for the step-by-steps. When you shut down, you have to wait for all your programs to close—and then the next morning, you have to reopen everything, reposition your windows, and get everything back the way you had it.

What you should do is put your machine to sleep. Hibernate equals the second phase of Sleep mode, in which your working world is saved to the hard drive. Waking the computer from Hibernate takes about 30 seconds. In an effort to make life simpler, Microsoft has hidden the Hibernate command in Windows To get there, press to put your cursor in the search box, and type power but.

From now on, the Hibernate option appears in the menu shown in Figure , just like it did in the good old days. Choose Power to see them. As shown in Figure , shutting down is only one of the options for finishing your work session. What follows are your others. Sleep is great. When the flight attendant hands over your pretzels and cranberry cocktail, you can take a break without closing all your programs or shutting down the computer.

Shutting down your computer requires only two steps now, rather than as in Windows 8. The instant you put the computer to sleep, Windows quietly transfers a copy of everything in memory into an invisible file on the hard drive. But it still keeps everything alive in memory—the battery provides a tiny trickle of power—for when you return and want to dive back into work.

If you do return soon, the next startup is lightning-fast. Fortunately, Windows still has the hard drive copy of your work environment. So now when you tap a key to wake the computer, you may have to wait 30 seconds or so—not as fast as 2 seconds, but certainly better than the 5 minutes it would take to start up, reopen all your programs, reposition your document windows, and so on. You can send a laptop to sleep just by closing the lid. This command quits all open programs and then quits and restarts Windows again automatically.

Sleep is almost always better all the way around. The only exceptions have to do with hardware installation. Anytime you have to open up the PC to make a change installing memory, hard drives, or sound or video cards , you should shut the thing down first. Press Enter, and arrow-key your way to Shut down. Press Enter again. But there are even faster ways. If you have a laptop, just close the lid.

If you have a desktop PC, press its power button. In each of these cases, though—menu, lid, switch, or button— you can decide whether the computer shuts down, goes to sleep, hibernates, or just ignores you.

If your computer has a physical keyboard—you old-timer, you!
