Task View
• One of the best parts of windows.
• Separate all apps into a spread out view to find the window you are
looking for.
• Great for organization! Also “Windows + TAB”
Windows 10 Switching Between Apps
•Windows+Tab: This opens the new Task View interface, and it stays open—you can release the keys. Only
windows from your current virtual desktop appear in the Task View list, and you can use the virtual desktop
switcher at the bottom of the screen to switch between virtual desktops.
•Alt+Tab: This isn’t a new keyboard shortcut, and it works just like you’d expect it to. Pressing Alt+Tab lets you
switch between your open Windows. With the Alt key still pressed, tap Tab again to flip between windows, and
then release the Alt key to select the current window. Alt+Tab now uses the new Task View-style larger
thumbnails. Unlike Windows+Tab, Alt+Tab lets you switch between open windows on all virtual desktops.
•Ctrl+Alt+Tab: This works the same as Alt+Tab, but you don’t have to hold down the Alt key—the window
thumbnails stay on screen when you release all the keys. Use Tab or your arrow keys to move between
thumbnails. Press Enter to select the current thumbnail and make that window active.
21
Taskbar
• The taskbar enables you to move between open windows and provides
access to the resources of your computer.
• Using the taskbar, you activate a window that is covered by other windows
by clicking the program icon.
• Organizing the Taskbar

• The following explains how to rearrange buttons on the taskbar:
• 1. Click and hold the program that you wish to move
2. Drag the program to a different location on the

taskbar.
3-Drop the program by releasing the mouse

so, these programs will remain on the taskbar
even
when they are not open. The following explains
how to pin programs to the taskbar:
1. Click the Start button (See Figure below ).
2. Navigate to the program that you wish to
pin to the taskbar (See Figure 23).
3. Right-click the program that you wish to
pin to the taskbar (See Figure 23).
4. Click the More button
5. Click Pin to Taskbar

Organizing the Taskbar
• Removing a Program from the Taskbar
• You may also remove programs from the taskbar if so desired.
The following explains how to do so:
• 1. Click the Start button.
• 2. Right-click the program that you wish to remove from the
taskbar (See Figure).
• 3. Click Unpin from Taskbar (See Figure).
24
Search box in Taskbar.
• Windows 10 lets you access your

applications in several ways. The
easiest way is to search for the name of
application using the Search box in
Taskbar.
25
Notification Area
• The Notification Area is located at the right side of the Taskbar.
It shows different types of notifications from your computer like
your Internet connection, or the volume level.
• At first, the Notification Area shows a limited amount of icons.
But you can click the upward arrow on its left-side to see other
icons as well.
26
Setting Up Cortana
• Cortana is the new digital

assistant in Windows 10,
and integrates search on
both your computer and
the internet with the
ability to quickly ask
questions and issue
commands.
Continued on next slide
Setting Up Cortana, cont.
Search with Cortana
• When you open Cortana, she
displays the weather, any calendar
events or reminders, some news
articles, and other things you may
be interested in. If you’ve used
Apple’s Siri or Google Now before
you’ll be familiar with Microsoft
Cortana.
• You can use Cortana to search for
anything, either on your computer
or on the internet. Just type what
you're looking for
Speak to Cortana
• If your computer has a microphone, you can get

Cortana's help by talking instead of typing. Just
click the Microphone button and tell Cortana want
you want to do.
Virtual Desktops
• Windows 10 adds support for virtual desktops, so you can
keep your open apps better organized. For example, if you
need to work with spreadsheets, you could create a second
virtual desktop that contains the apps/data you’re using.
• Also can use “CTRL + Windows + arrow keys” to move
between them.
