Three Quick and Easy Windows Tips for Everyone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The following tips work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Take a Snippet of what\u2019s on your screen without any 3rd-party software<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Press Windows Key + Shift + S to open the snipping bar. Drag the cursor over the area you want to capture. The area you snipped will be saved to your clipboard. You can then paste it into MS Paint (type PAINT in the taskbar search to open PAINT) or into your favorite image editor. Then give your snippet a name and save it in PNG or JPG format.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

2.\u00a0 Pause Windows updates until a more convenient time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To temporarily delay updates for your device:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Right-click on the Start button and click \u201cSettings\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 a. Windows 11: In Settings click on Windows Update.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0b. Windows 10: In Settings click on \u201cUpdate & Security\u201d then choose Windows Update<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Select \u201cPause updates\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Or better yet –\u00a0 reschedule the update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can reschedule the update so your computer will restart when it is more convenient for you.\u00a0 To do this, all you need to do is right-click on the Update icon in your taskbar and choose “Reschedule restart”<\/p>\n

\"Windows<\/p>\n

\"Reschedule<\/p>\n

We think it’s better to reschedule the update restart than to pause updates. But you’re the boss!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

If you choose to pause updates,\u00a0 remember, that once you reach the pause limit (5 times – 35 days), you\u2019ll need to install the latest updates before you can pause updates again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

3.\u00a0 A quick way to find your Windows username and system (computer) name<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Type CMD in the taskbar search.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Command Prompt appears in the search results press \u201cEnter\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Command Prompt opens type WHOAMI (that\u2019s Who Am I, all one word) at the prompt and press Enter.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see your system name (computer name) and username displayed like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

system name\/username<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
