Sadly, one is buggy Windows updates. Updates can speed things up, too, though you might some extra help if your PC slogs through every task. Tap or click here for smart, simple ways to speed up your machine. Speaking of clever tips, I love sharing ways you can get more out of your tech.
Is the Windows 10 October update installed on your computer? Select OK. The latest version is , build number Privacy, security, the latest trends and the info you need to live your best digital life. If not, click on Check for Updates to force the process. The ability to choose an accent color to customize Windows 10 is nothing new, but the update brings an added twist.
The default Windows mode changes the color of the taskbar and Start menu. The default app mode changes the color of windows and folders. Pro tip : Access this even faster with your mouse. Right-click on your desktop and select Personalize. Run SecureUxTheme as administrator again, and this time you'll see the new theme you've added to the Windows 10 themes folder listed on the top left. Choose the variant you prefer dark or light, with or without address bar. Your desktop will lock for some seconds, and Windows will prompt you to wait while the new theme is applied.
When you're back at your desktop, the new theme will be used on all windows. You can now close SecureUxTheme. Select the file, press F2 to rename it, and add an "x" between "ee" to turn its extension to "exe" and render the file executable.
Now, some more file-renaming is required. Visit the icon theme's folder and enter the " 7TSP Themes for Windows 10 and higher " sub-folder. There are different variants of the icon theme. You can use any one of them, but they are unusable because of their ".
As before, rename them first. But this time, instead of tweaking their extension, delete ". Locate and select the icon theme you want to install, and click on Start Patching on the bottom right of the window. After a while, 7TSP will show you some stats about the time it took to patch your OS and prompt you to reboot your computer to apply the changes.
Your desktop will now look different—a hybrid of Windows 10 and Still, we can do even better. We've left the centered taskbar for last though it's probably the first thing anyone notices on the refreshed Windows 11 desktop. That's because this is the most straightforward tweak of all. You only have to run a program that many have already been using for years and accept its default settings: TaskbarX. Download one of the "portable" versions of TaskbarX from its official site.
The program doesn't come with an installer, so you should unpack the downloaded file directly to a folder from where you'd like to run it from now on. Then, manually create a shortcut to TaskbarX Configurator on your desktop.
Run TaskbarX Configurator and click on Apply to use its default values. Your taskbar's icons will move to its center. However, unlike on Windows 11, the Start button and tray will stay put at the edges of the taskbar, which will still cover the whole width of your screen.
If you wish, you can play with the rest of TaskbarX's options to further configure your taskbar to your liking. For example, you can control its color, change between visual modes, un-center the icons by manually setting their margin from the elements to their left and right, etc.
Microsoft went ahead and made it insanely easy to reinstall Windows 10 by building the option right into the operating system. Some of you probably remember the old days, when it was much harder and required system discs, hard drive reformatting, tedious backup processes, and service packs. Luckily for us, Microsoft realized reinstalling Windows is a great way to fix a broken PC. In modern Windows parlance, a reinstall is usually called a reset. Back in the distant days of Windows 8, there was another option called refresh, that put Windows back to square one, but kept all of your personal files and Windows Store apps in place.
There are lots of reasons you might perform this task, but the most common is just to clear out a lot of cruft and unnecessary files from a system and start again with a speedy, fresh installation.
