Must know the details of Win8.1

1. The application closes with Win8“ very different 

Drag and drop the application to the bottom of the screen & ldquo; loose hands & rdquo; is no longer closed for Win8.1 applications Gesture, because Microsoft changed it to "One button backstage palm" (that is, just press the application to the background, no longer close directly like Win8), but to really close in Win8.1 The application, “诀窍” is to drag the window to the bottom of the screen, do not let go, but stay a few seconds. In the process, you will find that the thumbnail that was originally dragged by the mouse has been turned into an icon, and once the flip is completed, the application is officially closed.

Figure 1 Drag and drop to the bottom of the screen & ldquo; release the hand is no longer closed!

Figure 2 Stay for a few more seconds, wait until the thumbnail is flipped to the icon and then let go
< Another detail is that if the thumbnail has been flipped into an icon, then simply dragging the mouse back to the original area will immediately restart the current application instead of the one above.

2. Applying Automatic Updates

is slightly different from previous Win8 systems. Win8.1 application updates can be in two modes. One is to enter the app store and manually click on the reminder number. The update, another one added to Win8.1, allows the operating system to detect and automate the update itself.

The specific method is to open the Win8.1 app store, call out the Charm bar, and then click “Set”→“Apply update”tag and check “Automatically update my app” Check box. With this setup, the system automatically detects the latest version of all installed Metro apps and automates the update, and it also automatically circumvents the metered network connection without worrying about the huge communication costs.

3. Touchpad anti-missing

The notebook touchpad has a very troublesome problem, which is automatically activated when the user types. Interference with daily operations. Generally speaking, we can solve this problem by installing third-party software or an external mouse to disable the touchpad. However, in Win8.1, a simpler processing is that you can enter <;computer settings”→&ldquo "Computers and devices" → & ldquo; mouse and touchpad & rdquo;, modify the right side of the "touchpad delay" to reduce this interference. Because this option actually adds a “dead time” to the touchpad, which means that even if the touchpad is accidentally touched during the input process, the touchpad will automatically ignore the “error” as long as the user is still typing at high speed. Touch ” to solve this embarrassing little trouble.

4. Recovery & Sleep & Sleep Buttons

Sleep is a more suitable stop option for notebook users than sleep and shutdown Not only saves power but also saves the user's current working status like sleep. However, by default, this option does not appear in the shutdown menu of Win8.1. To make "sleep" happen again, the method is very simple, just go to “ control panel & rdquo; → & ldquo; hardware and sound & rdquo; & rarquo; & ldquo; change the power button function & rdquo;, click on the top & ldquo; change the current Unavailable settings & rdquo; Finally, in the lower shutdown settings, “ sleep & rdquo; in front of a tick. OK! Get it done.

5. Low-profile animation

Win8 .1 Although the Aero has been cancelled, various gorgeous switching effects still exist. If your computer is too old to run out of these effects, the easiest way is to turn them off directly. To do this, first go to “computer settings”→“easily use”→“other options”, then cancel “visual options“&;play animations in Windows”check The box is fine.

Of course, like the mobile phone system, even if your computer is strong enough to support these effects, turning this option off will make the computer react faster.

6. One-click screenshot

Traditional screenshots usually require four steps. First press the PrtScr button to complete the screenshot, then start A graphics editing software (such as drawing), then paste the screenshots in the clipboard into the software, and finally click the save button to generate the image to complete. In fact, in Win8.1, you can completely replace the above operation with Win+PrtScr. When the combination button is pressed, the screen will instantly darken, and the speaker will also be accompanied by “click”, the whole process is very similar. The camera took a picture of the screen, and later you will find a new “screenshot” folder under "My Pictures", oh! Just cut the picture is already lying Here?

By the way, for users who don’t have a physical keyboard like a tablet, we can also use the Win+ entity key in the virtual keyboard. “Volume-”To achieve the above operation, the final result is the same as before.

7. Early Defense Modules

Win8.1 has an early defense module built in, which can selectively determine which driver to initialize after system startup. So one of its big advantages is that you can refuse to load suspicious or unknown drivers to keep your system secure. However, by default, this feature does not start. To open the specific step, press the shortcut key Win+R and enter “GPEDIT.MSC” to open the local group policy editor. Then expand and navigate to "Computer Configuration”→“Administrative Templates”→“System”→“Start Anti-Malware in Advance; double-click on “boot in the right pane Driver initialization policy & rdquo; and change it to “ Enabled & rdquo;

Figure 9 This is an early defense module that Microsoft has not opened.

8. Photo Editor

Many people have not noticed the photo in Win8.1. ” The application has not been improved, the biggest change appears in the editing function. In this version, Microsoft has added a lot of rich image editing functions, such as the usual color temperature, brightness, red-eye adjustment, and the vignette and background blur module that are not seen everyday. However, the most exciting thing for Xiaobian is the “color enhancement” function. When you use it, you can drag the button to any place on the picture, then turn the pulley after releasing the hand to quickly adjust the current object range. The color is saturated. The biggest difference between it and the traditional adjustment is that the rest of the picture will not change.

9. Hands-free flipping

This feature is currently only available under the system's original <food” application, but Definitely the eye-opener of Win8.1. Simply put, you need to cook in the kitchen. In the process, you may need to check the menu through the tablet. The problem is …… how to turn the page? The oily hands directly turn the screen to definitely stain the screen, don't flip it.%… …¥……&you take the tablet to the kitchen to dry up. So Win8.1 of "Good" has developed this feature, allowing users to wave in front of the camera to achieve "page turning", of course, before that, you need to click first " Handsfree” ; button to do.

Written at the end

Due to the time relationship, Xiaobian is only superficially researching the most in Win8.1. Some details that are easily overlooked. Although these details have never been written into the official official update log, they are really easy to use. And because the time to market is still short, these are obviously just the tip of the iceberg in the huge changes of Win8.1, but the so-called single music is not as good as the music, good things always have to share with everyone the most fun, if you have a similar " ; niche skills & rdquo;, may wish to leave a message below the article, I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, Win8.1 will make people more comfortable!
