| The Top 12 PC Settings in Windows 8.1 You Should Know Since Windows 8.1 has launched, a lot that has changed. Not so much with the Control Panel, but the Metro-themed “PC settings” that have definitely taken on more and more responsibilities; many control panels have finally been rolled into the PC settings, and we can probably expect that trend to continue as Microsoft introduces new versions of Windows 8. Some time ago, we published an article on how to find the Control Panel in Windows 8. To our surprise, or maybe un-surprise, it garnered quite a few views. Given the obvious confusion Windows 8 users are having with navigating the new interface, we felt it was time to update, or beef up our original scope and focus and explain some of the new features in “PC settings”, as well as compare any similarities it might have to old school desktop control panels. Unfortunately, to cover all these settings would require a lot more time than we want to dedicate to a simple article, and quite a few – such as the “lock screen” settings – are fairly self-explanatory. So here are what we feel are the top 12 Windows 8.1 PC settings you should know about (in no order of importance) and, wherever necessary, how they compare to the equivalent desktop control panel. http://www.howtogeek.com/176074/the-...u-should-know/ |
