Page 657 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

about letting us decide if we want to play a video?

The Windows 10 May 2019 Update brings that control back to you—

control you can exert either universally or on a site-by-site basis.

To stop all autoplay videos. → → Advanced. Use the
“Media autoplay” pop-up menu.

To stop autoplay videos on just this site. Hit the tiny icon just to
the left of the site’s address in the address bar (it might look like a
little globe or a padlock)—the “Show site information” button.

Choose “Media autoplay settings.”

In either case, you’re offered three options:

Allow. What you’re used to: You open a web page, and some video

starts blaring at you, unbidden.

Limit. Videos can play automatically, but only if they have no
soundtrack or if the sound starts out muted. (If it’s muted, you’re

supposed to click the little speaker icon to make it start playing.)

Block. No videos will ever start playing automatically.

Printing Pages

The decade of chopped-off printouts is over. In Edge, when you press
Ctrl+P or choose and then Print, all the page’s text is laid out to fit

within the page.

The Print panel offers a handsome preview of the end result, plus controls
like these:

Orientation means Portrait, Landscape (upright or sideways).

Scale affects the size of the image on the printed pages. “Shrink to
fit” adjusts the printout so it won’t be chopped off, but you can
manually magnify or reduce the printed image by choosing the
other percentage options in this menu.
