After installing Windows 10, the settings you want to do

　After installing Windows 10, there are some settings to do. It's a small thing, but it makes a difference in work efficiency.

First decide which display to display the taskbar and start menu

　The first thing you want to do is customize the taskbar and start menu (or start screen). The Windows 10 start menu is derived from the menu on the left and the start screen on the right, and the left and right sides can be customized.

When starting an application, the icon registered in the taskbar is easy to access, and the start menu/screen is next, so depending on the frequency of execution, you can select the "taskbar", "right side of the start screen", "start screen It would be nice to think in the order of "left" and "all apps".

Register an icon on the taskbar for apps that you use every day or that you launch frequently. How to display taskbar icons in Windows 10 (Control Panel / Taskbar and Navigation / "Taskbar" tab. By the way, the default is "Combine when taskbar does not fit".

In the taskbar and navigation of the control panel, you can set the icon display method of the taskbar of the main display and the display method of the sub display.

　This setting should be determined by the width of the taskbar determined by the resolution setting and the number of icons to be registered. If you register many icons on the taskbar and the taskbar is close to half or more than half, "Always combine" is easier to understand. Join if it doesn't fit" would be fine. If you use a high-resolution display with a dpi setting of 100%, you may not want to merge.

　In the case of multiple displays, there is the problem of how to set the taskbar icon display (control panel / taskbar and navigation / "taskbar" tab). First, set whether to display the taskbar on all displays other than the main display with "Show the taskbar on all displays", and if you want to display it, select "Where to display the taskbar buttons" and "Buttons on other taskbars". need to set one.

　Whether or not to display the taskbar on the sub-display side is determined by the positional relationship with the main display, work frequency, etc. For example, if the sub-display is above the main display, not displaying the taskbar will not impair the continuity of the desktop. It is easier to understand if the position is aligned with the bottom of the . Conversely, even if the layout is left and right, if the top of the display area is combined and the bottom is empty, there is a "continuous feeling" without the taskbar.

　If there are 1 or 2 sub-displays and the taskbar is displayed on the sub-display, it is better to set the "taskbar button display destination" only to the "taskbar of the opened window" right.

　Even if you set "Taskbar button display destination" to "All taskbars" and display the icon registered on the taskbar of the sub-display, the window will not necessarily be displayed on the sub-display. Even if you click the registered icon, if it is not displayed on the sub-display you are looking at, you will have to search for a window, which is rather troublesome.

In that case, it's easier to understand if it's only the main display, and when you start it up, you can use "Shift + Win + left and right cursor keys" to move windows between displays. By pressing "Win + left and right cursor keys" in succession, windows can be moved between displays while repeating the left and right snap of the snap state and normal display.

On a multi-display, if the "taskbar button display destination" is set to "the taskbar of the open window" (the icon is displayed only on the taskbar of the display where the window is located), the sub-display "buttons of other taskbars" (Method of displaying icons on the taskbar on the sub-display side), "Combine when it does not fit in the taskbar" will not be a problem. Alternatively, you might want to match it with your main display settings.

Customize the start menu and start screen

Next, the start menu and start screen, but the easy-to-access locations differ between the start menu and the start screen. This is because in the Start Menu (desktop mode), the left area is always displayed, whereas in the Start Screen (tablet mode), it is not displayed unless the hamburger icon in the upper left is displayed.

　In the left area, there are "frequently used apps", "recently added apps", "folders", "all apps", etc., each with customization items. When using the Start menu, first, open "Settings / Personalization / Start" and turn on and off items such as "Show frequently used apps" and "Show recently added apps".

When I used it briefly, I didn't have many occasions to use the "recently added apps". Immediately after installing Windows 10, it is often the case that only "recently added apps" are displayed due to the fact that some applications are replaced with the UWP version.

　Here, you should use it for 2-3 months and reconsider the settings when things settle down. On the other hand, the "frequently used apps" are in a relatively convenient place. However, it becomes easier to use after using it to some extent and Windows understands how often you use the app. Initially, none of the apps have information on usage frequency, so Microsoft's chosen apps are displayed by default. You can right-click the ones you don't need and select "Don't show in list" to delete them.

Even if you delete it, the next default set app will be displayed, so delete unnecessary things one after another. Then, the number of apps that were initially displayed as 6 decreased to 5, then to 4. When this happens, there are no apps set to be displayed by default, so the next app to start will start to be registered in the list. If this happens, when you launch the app from "All apps", the icon will be displayed in "Frequently used apps".

　That's why, for the time being, after removing all unnecessary apps from the list, if you use it for a while, it seems that the list will be created according to the frequency of use. However, some apps, such as Control.exe, are registered not to appear here by default. You can also prevent the app from registering itself.

● Executable files APPLAUNCH.EXE, CONTROL.EXE, DELDRV.EXE, DESINSTALADOR.EXE, DESINSTALAR.EXE, DFSVC.EXE, DLLHOST.EXE, EAUNINSTALL.EXE, GUESTMODEMSG.EXE not registered in Windows 10 "Frequently Used Apps" , HH.EXE, HPZSCR01.EXE, HPZSCR40.EXE, INSTALL.EXE, ISUN0407.EXE, ISUNINST.EXE, IUN6002.EXE, JAVA.EXE, JAVAW.EXE, LNKSTUB.EXE, MMC.EXE, MSHTA.EXE, MSIEXEC .EXE, MSOOBE.EXE, RUNDLL32.EXE, SETUP.EXE, ST5UNST.EXE, UNINS000.EXE, UNINS001.EXE, UNINS002.EXE, UNINST.EXE, UNINSTAL.EXE, UNINSTALL.EXE, UNINSTALLER.EXE, UNWISE.EXE , UNWISE32.EXE, WERFAULT.EXE, WINHLP32.EXE, WLRMDR.EXE, WUAPP.EXE

　The tile area on the right side is easy to access and easy to operate from either the start screen or the start menu. Here you can register apps in tile format. In the tile format, you can select from four sizes: small (1x1), medium (2x2), horizontal (2x4), and large (4x4). For UWP apps and Windows 8 store apps, you can use the "Live You can use the tile function.

With Windows 10, the degree of freedom in tile placement has increased compared to Windows 8, and tiles can be placed in units of small tile sizes. Therefore, even if tiles of different sizes are mixed, there is no space between the tiles. Also, the horizontal length of the tile group is fixed at 6 small tiles. Since the start menu/screen has become a vertical scroll, the width of the group is fixed at this size, and it grows in the vertical direction.

　The placement of the group itself is horizontal, and if the area is empty, the second group will line up next to the first group. If you narrow the display width in the start menu, all groups can be arranged vertically, and this is the minimum width of the start menu, but if you don't have any tiles registered, you can narrow the width further. .

　It is possible to launch frequently used apps just by registering them in the taskbar, and if launching from "all apps" is also acceptable, do not register any tiles at all and narrow the width of the app can be a small start menu that doesn't hide windows.

It is actually possible to create a narrow start menu without registering any tiles in the start menu.

　A link to a folder can be placed above the settings icon on the left side of the start menu (open the left area with the hamburger button on the start screen). If you click "Choose which folders appear on Start" in "Settings/Personalization/Start," you'll be presented with a screen to enable or disable 10 personal folders.

From the "Settings" app, open "Personalization" > "Start" and click "Choose which folders appear on the Start screen".

Here you can turn off individual folders that appear on the start screen

　By default, "Explorer" and "Settings" are turned on. Turn on frequently used folders among other folders. You can turn them all on, but depending on the height of the start screen, the items displayed in the "frequently used apps" and "recently added" lists will be less due to the display of folders. It would be better to consider what you want to display in terms of screen resolution and the height setting of the Start menu (which can be resized by dragging the top edge).

　My impression is that "Network", "Personal Folders" and "Downloads" are used frequently, while "Music", "Videos" and "Pictures" are rarely used. In my usage, these folders may not be opened suddenly, but they can be accessed by opening "Personal Folder", and in addition, "Quick Access", which is the default display location of Explorer, and the Explorer icon on the taskbar. There is a place where folders can be registered, such as "Jump List", and it may not always be necessary to open them from the start menu/screen.
