PC Hacks Everyone Should Know

If you’re a bit of a whizz when it comes to using a computer then you’ve already mastered a great skill. With that being said, there are ways that you can refine that, by simply learning a few more tips and tricks that will make your life, way easier.

Apps Running on Start-up

If your PC is taking longer than it should to load up then there is a high chance that you have one too many apps open. One way for you to work around this would be for you to open the task manager. You can then click on any program on the list, and hit “disable” if you don’t want it to run.  If you’re a gamer, you may find that you need a lot of supporting software to run certain games. Although you don’t want to disable this, you can make your PC faster by playing games online.

Word and casino games are both prime examples. Rather than downloading games, you can play Scrabble, or the Plinko Go slot game online. You can also swap to other titles, such as Crazy Time Live without having to download additional software. Playing online also means you can resume your progress across any device, which is very beneficial if you’re a fan of quick and easy games.

Keyboard Shortcuts and Emoji Keyboard

Do you want to bring back a computer tab that you accidentally closed? If so press Ctrl + Shift + T. Doing this is the best way for you to resume what you were doing. You can also cycle through multiple, monitor windows with ease.  Press the Windows key and then press either arrow key to snap to the window that is on either side of your monitor. If you want to setup a second display then the best way to do this would be for you to press Windows + P. Of course, you can also enable the emoji keyboard by using a shortcut too. If you want to access your emoji keyboard then hit the Windows + Period + Semi-Colon key.  You can then browse through all of the emojis that are available on a Windows device, so you can use your PC as if it’s a mobile phone. If you’re on a Mac, then you’ll need to hit Cmd + Control + Spacebar.

Things like this are useful if you are talking to someone on a messaging app, and the recipient is on a mobile phone, as you can take advantage of the same communicative expressions, without being limited to your standard computer keyboard. 

Of course, there are endless keyboard shortcuts you can use to make your life way easier when using a computer, and a lot of them are very difficult to remember. With that being said, if you take your time and if you really learn what options you have then you will soon find that it is easier for you to become more efficient when using a PC. You may also find that shortcuts are the best way to undo actions, such as pasting something accidentally or minimizing tabs, so be sure to look into them today.
