How to Turn on 120Hz Display Refresh Rate on Galaxy S20

Note that all three phones are equipped with a display set to 1440p (WQHD+) with a 60 Hz refresh rate. If you enable the 120Hz setting, the Galaxy S20 will automatically drop to 1080p (FHD+).

How to Redirect Windows Command Line Output to a Text File

On Windows 10, the ability to save the output of a PowerShell or Command Prompt to a text file can be useful in many cases. For example, when you are solving a problem, it is a convenient way to export and analyze the results of the command, or you can share the results with someone who can help you. You can print the command output to a text file to save system configurations for documentation purposes, and much more.

Although you can simply select the content, right-click on the selection to copy the content to the clipboard, and then paste it into a text file, this method requires additional steps that you can avoid by using a single command line with the “Redirect Output to File” function. read more

Stop Windows Defender from Deleting Program Files on Windows 10

Do you have the same problem as Windows Defender that keeps deleting files such as videos, documents or downloaded .exe programs? Or does your Windows 10 automatically delete downloaded files and data without asking for confirmation? Although it seems unnecessary, it’s true. Windows 10 can continue to delete programs and documents even after rebooting because the Defender or the new memory sensor feature in Windows 10 allows it to do so.

How to Find Matching Values in Excel

In this tutorial I will show you how to compare two columns in Excel so that the values that appear in both columns are highlighted and you can do something with these duplicate values.

Using INDEX and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP

The use of VLOOKUP is subject to certain restrictions: the VLOOKUP function can only search for a value from left to right. This means that the column with the required value must always be to the left of the column with the return value. If your spreadsheet is not structured in this way, do not use VLOOKUP. Instead, use the combination of the INDEX and MATCH functions. read more

How to Enable Dark Mode in Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office contains black and dark grey themes. The dark mode in Windows 10 does not affect Office applications, but you can choose a dark theme for Office applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.

This works for Office 365, Office 2016, and Office 2013. It works on all versions of Windows, including Windows 7, 8, or 10. However, dark themes are not currently available for Office on the Mac.

Enable Dark Mode in Microsoft Office using the Account Settings

  • Open one of the Microsoft Office applications by clicking the shortcut or by searching in the Windows search function. Click the File menu at the top of the page.
  • Now click the Account or Office Account option. There you will find an option for the topic, click on the topic menu and select the Dark Grey option.
  • Note: You can also select the Black topic, which will be darker than Dark Grey.
  • If you select this option, the theme is automatically changed for all other Microsoft Office applications.

Change the Microsoft Office Theme to Dark Mode using the Office Options

  • Open any Office application. We chose Word for this tutorial, but Excel or PowerPoint work just as well. Click or press the File tab on the Ribbon.
  • Go to Options in the left column.
  • A new window appears with options for the Office application you are using. In our case, these are Word options. Go to the General section on the left, then look for the Office Theme drop-down list. Click on it and select the topic you want: Black, dark grey, coloured or white. Then click or press OK.
  • You can also change the background of your Office requests and apply a new template. Click or tap the Desktop Background drop-down list and select a template you like. Then click OK or press OK.

Unfortunately, the documents you create always have a white background and black text by default. You could change your documents to have a black background and white text, but those colors would be part of every document you save. read more

How to Use WhatsApp on a PC Computer

It is possible to type long messages or conduct multiple WhatsApp conversations on your smartphone, but sometimes it is better to type on a full keyboard and view messages on a full-size computer screen.

WhatsApp offers two different solutions for using its service on a computer: WhatsApp Web or desktop applications for Windows and OS X.

If you use WhatsApp on a computer, your phone must always have a data or Wi-Fi connection. This is because the platform essentially mirrors the application on your phone. For example, if you are traveling to another country and your phone is not connected, you cannot use WhatsApp on another device. read more
