But as these startup applications initiate simultaneously when Windows starts, the computer can become completely unresponsive when there are too many apps in the list. I am sure you Windows users know what I am talking about. Generally when a program installs, it automatically adds itself to the Windows startup if required. But there might be a number of instances where you will have to add or remove these programs manually....

Microsoft seems more aggressive here. It has class-leading app support on iOS, and at the same time, you can use some of its services like Outlook Mail, contacts, and tasks within Apple apps as well.

In recent years, smartphones have evolved considerably, adding the power of multi-core processors, GBs of RAM and tons of high performance apps that almost make them more like tiny PCs – and like in PCs, susceptible to problems.

But when it comes to Android launchers, sometimes I wish it was more like iOS, where there was just one, non-customizable Springboard homescreen (gasp!). But this is Android, the land of the free. Anything under a bazillion options for replacing a particular feature would be disrespect to the droid. We’re not in iOS land, we’re in the Android world now. I’ve tried many launchers over the years, I’ve written countless articles about them (and I have a feeling this isn’t going be my last)....

If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, try to scroll down and up on this page while pausing now and then in between. I am certain that at some point of time the charm bar will meddle with the scroll bar and mouse, and you will have to move the mouse pointer to get rid of it. The Charm Bar can be activated by hovering the mouse pointer at the top-right or the bottom-right corner of your display and for the same reason it would come up periodically whenever I try to scroll on a page....

Unlike in Windows, where you can directly go to the Properties of that particular network and make it show the password, things are a bit different on the OS X versions....

As the name suggests, it locks the “click”. That means one tap on the mouse button or the touchpad and you no longer need to keep it pressed. You can just normally select an item, tap or click the button once, then without holding it anymore just drag the item to the destination, and finally click the button again to release the item and drop it in that destination. So, open the Control Panel and launch the interface for mouse settings....

How to Troubleshoot the Problem The thing about troubleshooting is that it’s a step by step process. First thing I checked was the power supply to my external speakers, and if I could hear the sound on my laptop. As I was not able to get any sound on my laptop’s speakers as well, it confirmed that there was some problem in the laptop (hardware or software). The next thing I checked was if the drivers are installed and if the audio output source is correct....

iTunes is a severely bloated application. It’s slow, clunky, and works woefully on Windows 10.
