Assalamualaikum Students

In the previous notes, students have learned the basic functions of Ms. Windows. The next note
is about basic features in ms Windows. These features allow it to perform the activities like
accessing software, showing commands on the screen, analyzing records, printing documents,
and many more

The Windows 10 screen offers the following main features:

1. Start button—It’s back! As with Windows 7 and most earlier versions of Windows, the
Start button appears in the lower-left corner of the screen, and you click it to display the
Start menu.
2. Start menu—The new Start menu is divided into two sections. On the left is a navigation
section that gives you access to your user account; your most frequently used apps;
system features such as File Explorer, Settings, and Power; and the rest of your apps (via
the All Apps command). On the right is a scaled-down version of the Windows 8/8.1 Start
screen that offers quick viewing and access to the tiles (see the next item) of a few apps.
3. Tiles—The rectangles you see on the right side of the Start menu each represent an item
on your PC—most tiles represent apps, but you can also add tiles for folders and

websites—and you click a tile to launch that item. Tiles can appear in one of four sizes
(see “Resizing a Tile,” later in this chapter).
4. Live tiles—Many of the Start menu tiles are “live” in the sense that they display often-
updated information instead of the app icon. For example, the Weather tile shows the
current weather for your default location; the Mail tile displays recent email messages;
and the Calendar tile shows your upcoming events. Note that these tiles don’t display
any live content until you have used them at least once.
5. All Apps—Clicking this icon displays a complete list of the apps and desktop programs
installed on your PC. Click Back to return to the main Start menu.
6. Desktop—Relegated to a mere “app” in Windows 8/8.1, the desktop is back in Windows
10 and resumes its (rightful, in our opinion) place in the main interface as the default
location for programs and documents.
7. Taskbar—This strip along the bottom of the screen displays icons for each running app.
You can also pin an app’s icon so that a shortcut to it remains in the taskbar even when
the app isn’t running.
8. Search box—You use this box to search your PC. We’ve found that this feature is the
easiest way to launch apps, settings, and documents in Windows 10.
9. Task View—Click this taskbar icon to display thumbnails of your running apps and to
create virtual desktops (see “Working with Virtual Desktops,” later in this chapter).
10. Pinned apps—The Windows 10 taskbar comes with several pinned apps, which means
those icons remain on the taskbar even when the apps are closed. To learn how to work
with pinned apps, see “Pinning an App to the Taskbar,” later in this chapter.
11. Notification area—This part of the taskbar displays various system icons for features
such as networking, sound, and power, as well as the notification issued by Windows.
