At the bottom of this tab, click “Change power settings” to open the Power

Tip
If you keep graphics files in your Pictures folder, try selecting the Photos screen saver. Then click
the Settings button and choose the pictures you want to see. When the screen saver kicks in,
Windows puts on a spectacular slideshow of your photos, bringing each to the screen with a
special effect (flying in from the side, fading in, and so on).

Turning Off the New Look

If you’re used to pre–Windows 7 versions, things look a lot different in
Windows 10. You may miss the less flashy, more utilitarian look of

Windows Vista or XP. If you’re in that category, don’t worry: Windows

If you drag a window close to the top edge of your screen, the window
expands to fill the whole screen. If you drag it close to a side of your screen,
the window expands to fill half the screen. If all this auto-snapping makes

you crazy, turn it off as described on “Split the screen into three or four
windows”.

Turning Off the Tall Taskbar

The Windows 10 taskbar shows relatively giant icons—with no text labels.
And you no longer get one button for each open window; Windows
consolidates open windows within each program to save space.
