ComputersWhy You Need To Acti­vate Win­dows 10 On Your Computer by yiinksdavid(op): 3:40pm On Sep 20, 2021
Microsoft changed a lot of things with the launch of Windows 10. Most importantly, Microsoft made it easy to install Windows without having to activate it. The idea was to reduce the rampant piracy and cracked versions of Windows that were in circulation.

https://cdn.guidingtech.com/imager/assets/2019/12/250044/why-activate-windows-10_935adec67b324b146ff212ec4c69054f.jpg

It turns out there are several reasons behind it, and you should buy a Windows license at the earliest. Let’s understand why and then we will see how to activate Windows 10 too.

KEY FEATURES ARE MISSING

One reason why you should consider activating Windows 10 is its features. Windows 10 comes with several features, many of which are only available in the licensed version. Some of my favorites are systemwide dark mode, Free Microsoft support, Windows Defender and Security, Focus Assist, and efficiency of the preinstalled apps, among others.

You also can’t install and use Microsoft Office in Windows 10 unless you activate it. If you manage to install the crack or trial version, you will be greeted with a constant pop-up reminding you to activate. That’s annoying and counter-productive.

What you do get is a watermark at the bottom right of the screen that reminds you that you are using the free version.

These are just some of the key features that you would be missing. And the Windows dev team is constantly working on new features that you will never receive because you can’t download updates either.

BUGS FIXES AND PATCHES

If you thought Windows updates were just about pushing new features or updating old ones, you are wrong. Microsoft frequently pushes small updates that fix known bugs and errors. These bugs affect how you interact with Windows OS as well as Microsoft apps.

The Microsoft development team are not the only people who are looking for these bugs. Independent developers and enthusiasts are also working as freelancers via the Microsoft Bug Bounty Program. If you find a bug and report it to Microsoft, you will receive a reward for your effort. These rewards can be substantial, which is why some people have made it their profession and do this for a living too.

SECURITY UPDATES ARE ESSENTIAL

Windows Updates also contain security fixes for malware, virus, and other cyber threats that were discovered recently. Fighting cyber criminals and hackers is like a never-ending war. You can never defeat them but only keep them at bay, and Windows updates are one way to do that.

https://cdn.guidingtech.com/imager/assets/2019/12/250050/why-activate-windows-10-3_935adec67b324b146ff212ec4c69054f.jpg

You can do your bit by updating your computer, which you can only do after you activate Windows 10 on your computer. You need these security updates and fixes to protect your data, identity, and for preventing hackers from taking over your system for blackmailing you. That’s called ransomware, and it’s a nightmare.

ComputersHow To Work In Safe Mode On Your Computer by yiinksdavid(op):
When you run a computer in safe mode, you can start it, test most of its systems, and change certain settings. Safe mode is an excellent way to diagnose — and often fix — your computer’s problems.

TIP: If you can start your PC in safe mode, its basic hardware probably isn’t the cause of your problem. If you can’t start your PC in safe mode, you have a problem with basic hardware or the basic elements of Windows. If your PC starts in safe mode all by itself, some component is preventing normal startup.

Why use safe mode?

Let's say one day you go to use your computer and find that your OS just won't start, or maybe it keeps crashing on you. This could be due to any number of reasons, including a virus, malware, corrupt files, or something else entirely. Safe mode allows you to boot up your OS in a very basic state so you can potentially identify and fix the problem.

While in safe mode, your screen resolution may look a bit off, certain applications might not work properly, or your computer may run a bit slower than usual. This is completely normal; it's just the effects of certain drivers not running.

To start in safe mode (Windows 8.1 and later)

1. Click the Start button and select the Power icon.
https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/5891f6dbb0daa30e10ddb2ee_02_01_2017/newer_start.jpg

2. Hold down the Shift key and click Restart.
https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/5891f6dbb0daa30e10ddb2ee_02_01_2017/newer_restart_shift.jpg

3. A menu will appear. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings.
https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/5891f6dbb0daa30e10ddb2ee_02_01_2017/newer_startup_settings.png

4. Click the Restart button.
https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/5891f6dbb0daa30e10ddb2ee_02_01_2017/newer_settings_restart.png

5. Your computer will reboot, presenting you with the menu shown below. Press 4 to select Enable Safe Mode (or 5 to select Enable Safe Mode with Networking if you need to use the Internet).
https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/5891f6dbb0daa30e10ddb2ee_02_01_2017/newer_enable_safe_mode.png

6. Your computer will then boot in safe mode.


To start in safe mode (Windows 7 and earlier):

1. Turn on or restart your computer. While it's booting up, hold down the F8 key before the Windows logo appears.

2. A menu will appear. You can then release the F8 key. Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode (or Safe Mode with Networking if you need to use the Internet to solve your problem), then press Enter.

3. Your computer will then boot in safe mode.

To start in safe mode on a Mac:

1. Turn on or restart your computer. While it's booting up, hold down the Shift key before the Apple logo appears. Once the logo appears, you can release the Shift key.

2. Your computer will then boot in safe mode.

What to do once you're in safe mode

Certain problems can be fixed pretty easily using safe mode, while others may prove to be more of a challenge.

1. If you think it's malware that's affecting your computer, you can easily run an antivirus application to try and remove it. This task might be difficult to do while running your computer normally.

2. If you've recently installed a program and notice that your computer has been acting strange since then, you can run safe mode to uninstall it.

3. If you suspect your drivers are making your system unstable, you can use safe mode to update them.

4. If you boot up with safe mode and your computer continues to crash, this means there's probably something wrong with your hardware. If this is the case, you'll probably need to take it to a repair technician for further help.

Once you think you've solved your problem, you'll need to get out of safe mode to test and see if it worked. To do this, simply restart your computer. When it boots up again, it should start Windows in its normal operating mode.

EducationFix Wifi Icon Is Greyed Out In Windows 10 by yiinksdavid(op):
Fix WiFi icon is greyed out in Windows 10: If you have recently upgraded to Windows 10 then chances are you might not be able to connect to Wifi, in short, the Wifi icon is greyed out and you don’t see any available WiFi connections. This happens when the Wifi toggle switch built-in into the Windows is greyed out and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to turn on the Wifi. Few users were so frustrated with this issue that they completely reinstalled their OS but that also didn’t seem to help.

https://techcult.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Fix-WiFi-icon-is-greyed-out-in-Windows-10.png

While running the Troubleshooter will only show you the error message “Wireless capability is turned off” which means the physical switch present on the keyboard is turned off and you need to manually turn it ON in order to fix the issue.

Tech JobsHow To Get Free Support From Microsoft On Issues With Windows 10 OS by yiinksdavid(op): 8:03am On Sep 16, 2021
If you're having trouble with Windows 10, you probably want to get answers as quickly as possible so you can get back to work. Fortunately, Microsoft builds a number of support services into its operating system and will even help you via phone or live chat. Here are five ways to get help in Windows 10.

Note: Your OS has to be activated to have access to some of this steps especially direct free support from MS Engineer.

1. Hit the F1 Key
The F1 key is the original means of finding help, similar to dialing 411. Hitting F1 in an app often opens that program's help menu, but for Windows 10 itself, the button only performs a Bing search in your default browser for "get help in Windows 10, " which you could do yourself.

If clicking F1 doesn't bring up such assistance, you may need to enable it by holding down the Start button while you press the key. Failing that, some systems require you to disable Function Lock, which is done by clicking the dedicated Fn Lock key.

2. Ask Cortana for Help
If you'd rather talk than type, you can ask Cortana for help understanding basic issues with Windows 10. The digital assistant knows about keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste and can even direct you to videos that answer other questions.

To activate Cortana, click on the microphone in the menu bar or say "Hey Cortana" if you have that option enabled.

3. Ask Microsoft Support for Help
For direct interaction with a Microsoft representative, you can use a dedicated app built into your PC. Click the Start button and scroll to Contact Support, and if you don't see that, look for Get Help.

Here, you can ask a question or search with keywords to find documentation from Microsoft that will solve your problems.

4. Call or Chat with Microsoft
After searching for an answer in Contact Support or Get Help, you'll see options for further assistance at the bottom of the window. These options include arranging for Microsoft to call you now, which should include an estimate for how soon an agent will be ready.

If that time isn't convenient, you can schedule a call for later, picking a time that better fits your schedule. Those who would prefer to type can opt for the live chat option.

5. Search for similar issues on the MS website
There are more than 100 Windows 10 tips and tutorials in the MS website to help you answer your questions and become a power user.
