One of the best aspects of working from home is the ability to maintain a work-life balance and to arrange the workplace as you wish. A proper desk, chair and equipment can help you be productive and comfortable while you work hard. Most of us have spent our working lives with only one monitor and will probably admit that it has worked well for us. What if it could work even better?

What is a dual-monitor setup?

A dual-monitor installation is just that; two monitors used for a PC or laptop. In IT it is quite common to use more than one monitor on your desktop. For a long time, computer professionals and perhaps only gaming enthusiasts have considered this possibility. For gamers who enjoy PC games, it can help them focus on more than one aspect of the game at a time. read more

If a KMS host fails, you must install a KMS host key on a new host and then activate the host. Ensure that the new KMS host has an RR VRS in the DNS database. If you install the new KMS host with the same computer name and IP address as the failed KMS host, the new KMS host can use the failed host’s DNS SRV RR entry. If the new host has a different computer name, you can manually remove the failing host’s DNS SRV-RR or (if scanning is enabled in DNS) have DNS remove it automatically. If the network uses DDNS, the new KMS host automatically creates a new SRV RR on the DNS server. The new KMS host then begins collecting client renewal requests and begins activating clients when the KMS activation threshold is reached. read more

Edge Chromium is gaining more and more ground as a browser and one of the reasons for this is Microsoft’s efforts to improve scrolling in Edge. As an action, scrolling is one of the most common user interactions, and poor scrolling can ruin any experience, regardless of browser quality.

What makes scrolling good? Microsoft suggests in its latest Windows blog that a user needs fast and responsive scrolling regardless of input method. In this post, we summarize how Microsoft’s experience has helped them understand how to improve the scrolling personality in Edge, and some upcoming changes will improve performance and functionality. read more

Zoom has quickly become an indispensable tool for remote teams, teachers and virtually anyone who needs some face-to-face time, even if only virtually. In fact, I wrote this week about how it has quickly become one of the most important applications.

Since the vast majority of people work from home, it’s not surprising that hackers have started working. Apparently, one of their new favorite tricks is blowing up a Zoom Meeting. In some cases, “party crashers” aren’t just there to snoop around your reunion or family gathering, but they take over and share inappropriate material with you. read more

Since its launch in 2008, Google Play has become a popular marketplace for Android users, where they can download a variety of applications ranging from games to TV shows to books.

With each of these downloads, a portion of the background data is created and stored in a hidden cache. Your Google Play cache can speed up the interface with the platform. This means you can sign in faster because your account can be easily linked, which can speed up re-downloading a remote application, for example.

However, as this invisible cache grows, it can slow down your Google Play and sometimes even freeze your device, making it difficult to download new applications. read more

Windows 10 cannot connect to this network is a common error in Windows 10 and usually occurs when you try to connect to a WIFI network or hotspot and Windows returns an error.

Fortunately, even if you are not a technician, you can fix this error. Just follow these simple steps, and this common Windows error will never bother you again.

Update your network adapter drivers

• Sometimes wireless network problems are caused by obsolete drivers. To solve the problem of Windows 10 not being able to connect to the network, you need to download the latest drivers for your network adapter.
• To do this, you need a computer or other device with a working Internet connection. All you have to do is go to the website of your network adapter manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your network adapter.
• After installing the latest drivers, this problem should be solved.
• Users can certainly update the device drivers on their PC manually by visiting the website of any device manufacturer and searching there, or on the Internet, for the appropriate driver for their device type and model.

In Windows 10, the network adapter is a ubiquitous component that allows you to connect to the network and the Internet using a wired or wireless connection. Understanding your current connection speed can be helpful in many cases.

For example, checking your connection speed is useful to determine whether the adapter is operating within its technical specifications and can help you diagnose performance problems. If you are upgrading your Internet service to a faster level, knowing the maximum speed of the Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter will confirm whether you can use the full bandwidth. read more

What efforts have you made to customize Google Maps? It’s an incredible tool for locating landmarks and businesses, measuring routes and distances between them, and even determining how long it takes to get home, anywhere. But what good are your maps if you can’t access them offline?

Well, you can.

Downloading maps offline is easy, but not intuitive. You have to do it while you’re connected to the internet, so you have to be a little proactive. Here’s how to do it.

Downloading maps for offline use on Windows 10

• Before going to areas without a data connection, you need to download your maps. Go to Settings > Applications > Offline Maps.
• Although maps are updated automatically by default, it is recommended that you manually check for the latest updates before downloading the maps. To do this, scroll down and select the “Check Now” button.
• Now scroll up and select Download Maps.
• Then select the area you wish to download. Windows 10 uses Nokia HERE for its mapping technology.
• Whether you are leaving or staying in the country, you can download a full map to search for places and get directions when you need them. The size of each map is also displayed.
• You can see the progress you are making by downloading the map.

Using offline maps in Windows 10

• Now that an offline map has been downloaded, it’s time to open the Maps application in Windows 10. One of the fastest ways to do this is to click or press the Start button and click or press the shortcut in the list of applications under the letter M in the Start menu.
• You can also search for the word “maps” in the search box on the taskbar, and then click or tap the first result in the list.
• Once the Maps application is open, you can start planning your route. You now have a guide that you can use at any time without the need for an Internet connection, and most importantly, it’s free. In our example, we’re looking for Miami Circle Park, the archeological site that caused a sensation in the city a few years ago. Enter the name of the place you want to visit in the search field in the upper right corner and press the Enter key on your keyboard or click/type on the search result you are interested in.

Maps vs. maps

Many of you may be more familiar with Google Maps and its capabilities, but the Windows 10 Maps application is also worth a try. Both services allow users to download maps for offline viewing so that they can compare their respective qualities. Map details may vary depending on the area in question, so you should get full coverage between the two applications. A little foresight and planning for your next adventure will always be a good idea. read more

FaceTime video calls are a great way for distant families to convey a sense of belonging, but it’s a shame they’re so fleeting – the application doesn’t allow you to record the conversation to relive it in the future. Such a feature would not only be useful for special family occasions, it’s also a convenient and efficient way to create a podcast when you and your co-host can’t be in the same room at the same time.

Well, FaceTime doesn’t offer a burned screen recording, but there are other ways to do it. In this article, we’ll show you how to record a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. read more
