Pin to Start Screen, tiles pointing directly to the contents of Windows 8 Apps

Most Windows 8 users now know how to pin or undo boot screen tile shortcuts for Windows Store applications. But it is a little known fact that you can even display the internal sections or content of some Windows 8 applications directly on your home screen.

Take the example of the news application. When you open the news application, you will first see the local news. Scroll a little and you will see the national and then world news. If you are interested in World News, you must open the application, scroll down and click World News to view it. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just create a tile to open the world news directly? read more

Other users who do not appear on the Windows 10/8 login screen

Due to the multi-user functionality, we can create multiple user accounts under Windows 10/8. In fact, I have seen cases where when users are faced with a problem on the system, they first try to check whether the problem occurs after creating a new user account or not. Then we apply the correction according to the results found. However, Windows may simply not be able to display other users on your computer when you log in and the boot screen appears. Therefore, you cannot switch to other users on the same computer. read more

Enable or disable defragmentation for SSD on Windows 10/8/7

In this article, we will see how Windows 8/10 handles defragmentation on solid state hard disks. A solid-state drive or SSD is a relatively new type of drive that consists of a series of flash memory modules similar to a flash drive. This means that when data is written to the SSD, it cannot be overwritten and must be written elsewhere until the block can be collected – i.e. it can be written at byte level but must be deleted at block level. They are available in different versions, for example as pure or hybrid flash drives, which combine traditional hard drives with solid-state storage and offer several advantages over hard drives and their popularity continues to grow. read more

Configure the disk space to use for offline files in Windows

Normally, we don’t care about space for offline files. Sometimes we don’t know where the extra space on our disks is used. But since you’re an intelligent Windows user, you should pay attention to storage space. By default, Windows follows the policy of configuring and allocating 10% of the cache space for offline files.

Automatic caching can be set on any network share. When a user opens a file on the share, the system automatically saves a copy of the file on the user’s computer. Sometimes, this automatic caching takes up a considerable amount of disk space. In another case, if the temporary cache files do not matter to you, you may not want to cache space on your disk. To do this, you must configure the Offline Files tab to disable offline temporary file storage space. read more

One of my customers encountered a problem where he was unable to log in with his Windows 8 account.

This application requires your authorization to use your camera under Windows 10/8

You may experience this problem when you open your camera application under Windows 10/8 and this error message appears:

This application requires your permission to use your camera – you can change this in the application settings

The main reason this could happen is that permission for the application has been denied or never been requested. For example, the travel application can use your location to identify places of interest near you, a photo application can use your image library to create a slide show, or an instant messaging application can use the webcam connected to your PC for video chats. If the application does not respond or if you reject it, it remains blocked until you unblock it manually, that is, you set the authorization manually. read more
