One of the ways to help keep Windows 10 optimized is to use the Windows 10 Troubleshooter. This too can help find performance problems and solve them. In order to launch it, type troubleshooting into the search box, and click the “Troubleshooting Control Panel” icon that appears. Next, click “Run maintenance tasks” in the System and Security section of the screen that appears. A screen titled “Troubleshoot and help prevent computer problems” will appear. Click Next.

The troubleshooter will find files and shortcuts you don’t use, help identify any performance and other issues on your PC, report them to you and then fix them. You may receive a message that says, “Try troubleshooting as an administrator.” If you do have administrative rights to the PC, click it and the troubleshooter will launch and do its work.

Stop chasing your tail and get optimized!

Ever find yourself tapping backspace or holding it forever to erase a large word? Instead try Control + Backspace to erase the entire word instead of just the character.

Pasting in plain text (without formatting): Use Control + Shift + V instead of just Control + V and you will paste plain text, with no formatting, this is super handy when copying something into an email or form!
