Alt+Tab is useful for switching between windows, but it can't help you find that browser tab you had open in one of your windows. Soon, Windows 10 will show all your open Edge browser tabs alongside your windows.
When this change is available, you can just use the new Microsoft Edge browser normally. When you Alt+Tab, all your browser tabs will appear as their own thumbnail—as if they were their own browser windows.

Don't like this? That's fine. Microsoft says you can disable it from Settings > System > Multitasking. You can also set it to only show your last three or five browser tabs so tab overload doesn't swamp your Alt+Tab switcher, too.
This feature is just for Microsoft Edge right now, but we could easily see it coming to other web browsers. Edge is based on the same Chromium code that forms the basis for Chrome, for example—Google might enable this feature in Google Chrome, too. It's easy to see Mozilla Firefox taking advantage of it as well.
Microsoft revealed this feature on July 1, 2020. It's part of an Insider build of Windows 10 and requires Microsoft Edge 83 or newer. It likely won't arrive in a stable build of Windows 10 until at least November 2020.
This is just one of the many interesting features found in July 1's Windows Insider build (version 20161). Microsoft is also making Windows 10's tiles match up with your light or dark theme much better and improving the tablet experience on 2-in-1 devices.
If the keyboard on your Windows 10 computer has a broken or missing key (and it's one you don't use often), you might be able to work around it until you get a new keyboard. Here are a few ideas you can try in a pinch.
Method 1: Remap the Key with Software
Using Microsoft's free PowerToys utility for Windows 10, you can assign the function of a broken key to another you don't use often, like the Scroll or Caps Lock, or a function key.
To do this, download Microsoft PowerToys, if you don't already have it. After you launch it, click "Keyboard Manager" in the sidebar, and then click "Remap a key."
In the "Remap Keyboard" window, click the plus sign (+) to add a shortcut.
On the left, you have to define the key you're remapping. From the drop-down menu, select the broken key you want to assign to another one.
In the "Mapped To" section on the right, click the drop-down menu and select the key with which you want to replace the broken one.
In our example, the Esc key is broken and we're replacing it with the Scroll Lock key.
Click "OK" to close the "Remap Keyboard" window, and the remapped key should be active. Test it and make sure it works as expected.
If not, you can revisit the "Remap Keyboard" window in PowerToys at any time to change the settings. You can also click the Trash icon to completely remove the mapping.
Almost every keyboard uses a key mechanism with a mechanical switch that actually does the electronics stuff. On top of that sits a piece of plastic called a keycap, which is the labeled piece that you press.
If a keycap breaks or goes missing, but the switch beneath it is okay, you can potentially use another similarly sized key's cap. Again, you'll want to choose one you don't use often.
You can usually gently pry off a keycap with a flat head screwdriver. Just be careful not to use too much force—they're easy to break if you slip or pry too hard.
Once you get the keycap off, place it on the switch of the missing key and push down gently until it snaps into place. Obviously, the label on the key will be incorrect, but you can relabel it with a write-on sticker if you want.
Other Repair Options
Michael Crider
If one of your keycaps is broken, and you'd rather buy a replacement than use one from another key, you might be able to find a new one on sites like Laptopkey.com. You can also try to find a non-functional or used keyboard (or an entire laptop, if it's cheap enough) on eBay that you can use for replacement keycaps.
Depending on the type of keyboard you have (and your skill at repairing electronics), you might be able to replace a broken keyboard mechanism yourself. Although, for most, it's probably easier to just replace the whole thing.
If you've broken a letter key, or another one that you use frequently, the options above might not sound appealing. Or, maybe your keycap transplant experiment didn't work out. In these cases, it's likely best to just get a new keyboard.
If you have a desktop, that's easy to do—just buy your new keyboard and plug it in! On the other hand, if you have a laptop, you'll have to research a replacement keyboard assembly, and either figure out how to install it or pay someone to do it for you.

The ZIP file format reduces the size of files by compressing them into a single file. This process saves disk space, encrypts data, and makes it easy to share files with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files using PowerShell.
How to Zip Files Using PowerShell
Let's start off by compressing some files into a ZIP file archive using the Compress-Archive cmdlet. It takes the path to any files you want to compress—multiple files are separated with a comma—and archives them in the destination you specify.
First, open PowerShell by searching for it from the Start menu and then typing in the following command, replacing <PathToFiles> and <PathToDestination> with the path to the files you want to compress and the name and folder you want it to go, respectively:
When you provide the destination path, be sure to give the archive file a name or PowerShell will save it as ".zip" where you specify.
Note: Quotations around the path are only necessary when the file path contains a space.
Alternatively, to zip the entire contents of a folder—and all of its subfolders—you can use the following command, replacing <PathToFolder> and <PathToDestination> with the path to the files you want to compress and the name and folder you want it to go to, respectively:
In the previous example, we put the path to a directory with multiple files and folders in it without specifying individual files. PowerShell takes everything inside of the root directory and compresses it, subfolders and all.
The Compress-Archive cmdlet lets you use a wildcard character (*) to expand the functionality even further. When you use the character, you can exclude the root directory, compress only files in a directory, or choose all files of a specific type. To use a wildcard with Compress-Archive, you must use the -Path parameter instead, as -LiteralPath does not accept them.
Above, we covered how to include the root directory and all of its files and subdirectories when creating an archive file. However, if you want to exclude the root folder from the Zip file, you can use a wildcard to omit it from the archive. By adding an asterisk (*) to the end of the file path, you tell PowerShell only to grab what's inside of the root directory. It should look something like this:
Next, say you have a folder with a bunch of different file types (.doc, .txt, .jpg, etc.) but only want to compress all of one type. You can tell PowerShell to archive them without touching the others explicitly. The command's notation would look like this:
Note: Subdirectories and the files of the root folder aren't included in the archive with this method.
Finally, if you want an archive that only compresses files in the root directory—and all its subdirectories—you would use the star-dot-star (*.*) wildcard to zip them. It would look something like this:
Note: Subdirectories and the files of the root folder aren't included in the archive with this method.
Even after the archive is complete, you can update an existing zipped file with the use of the -Update parameter. It lets you replace older file versions in the archive with newer ones that have the same names, and add files that have been created in the root directory. It will look something like this:
In addition to being able to zip files and folders, PowerShell has the ability to unzip archives. The process is even easier than compressing them; all you need is the source file and a destination for the data ready to unzip.
Open PowerShell and type in the following command, replacing <PathToZipFile> and <PathToDestination> with the path to the files you want to compress and the name and folder you want it to go to, respectively:
The destination folder specified to extract the files into will populate with the contents of the archive. If the folder didn't exist before unzipping, PowerShell will create the folder and place the contents into it before unzipping.
By default, if you leave out the -DestinationPath parameter, PowerShell will unzip the contents into the current root directory and use the name of the Zip file to create a new folder.
In the previous example, if we leave out -DestinationPath , PowerShell will create the folder "Archive" in the path "C:Usersbrady" and extract the files from the archive into the folder.
If the folder already exists in the destination, PowerShell will return an error when it tries to unzip the files. However, you can force PowerShell to overwrite the data with the new ones using the -Force parameter.
You should only use the -Force parameter if the old files are no longer needed, as this will irreversibly replace the files on your computer.
Microsoft Word is part of Microsoft Office and requires an up-front purchase or a Microsoft 365 subscription. If you're using a computer without Word installed, there are other ways to view that DOCX or DOC file.
Microsoft once offered a free "Word Viewer" application that would let you view Word documents, but discontinued it back in November 2017.
Here are some other ways you can view Word documents on a Windows PC:
Download Word Mobile from the Store on Windows 10. The mobile version of Word lets you view (but not edit) Word documents. You can install it for free. It's intended for tablets but runs in a Window on a Windows 10 desktop PC.
Upload the document to Microsoft OneDrive and open it from the OneDrive website. It will open in Microsoft Word Online, a free web-based version of Word. You can even edit documents in Word Online—no purchase necessary. You just have to use your browser.
Install LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite. This is an alternative to Microsoft Office. LibreOffice Writer, which is included, can open and edit Microsoft Word documents in DOC and DOCX format.
Upload the document to Google Drive and open it in Google Docs, Google's free web-based office suite.
On Android, iPhone, and iPad, you can also download Microsoft's free Word application to view Word documents without purchasing or subscribing to Office. Get Word for Android or Word for iPhone and iPad.
Sometimes, you need to quickly see your Desktop in Windows 10, but you don't want to tediously minimize every open app window or move them and lose their layout. Luckily, several ways to allow you to quickly see the Desktop, then pick up where you left off. Here's how.
How to Show the Desktop Using the Taskbar Button
Let's say you're casually browsing your favorite website, and you have several windows open like this:
If you'd like to see an item on your Desktop quickly without disturbing your window layout, click on the tiny area to the right of the small vertical line on the far-right side of the taskbar.
That's right—this tiny slice of taskbar is actually a "Show Desktop" button. Once you click it, your application windows will temporarily disappear, and you will see the Desktop.
This taskbar button works like a toggle switch. If you click it again, your Windows will pop right back up where they were before.
Very handy. If you don't like using this tiny button, it's possible to craft your own "Show Desktop" shortcut that you can place on the Quick Launch toolbar or pin it to the taskbar itself. You can also show the Desktop using a few other methods that we'll cover next.
Windows 10 includes a second way of looking at the desktop quickly called Aero Peek. To use it, first find the tiny "Show Desktop" button on the far-right side of the taskbar. It looks like this:
Right-click on the "Show Desktop" button and a tiny menu will pop up.
This menu has two options. The first, "Show desktop," is an action. If you click on it, you will see the Desktop just as if you had left-clicked on the button. The second option, named "Peek At Desktop," is a toggle setting. If you click it, a checkmark will appear to its left.
After that, if you hover your mouse cursor over the "Show Desktop" button, you will see a quick peek at the Desktop with approximations of the current application windows showing as translucent outlines.
When you move your mouse away, your application windows will appear again. Once the novelty fades and you'd like to turn Aero Peek off, right-click on the "Show Desktop" button again and uncheck the "Peek At The Desktop" option.
How to Show the Desktop By Right-Clicking the Taskbar
You can also show the Desktop quickly by right-clicking on the taskbar. When a menu pops up, select "Show The Desktop."
As with the methods above, all of your application windows will be temporarily hidden. To bring them back, right-click on the taskbar again. This time, select "Show Open Windows," and they will return just as they were before.
How to Show the Desktop Using a Keyboard Shortcut
If you'd prefer to use a keyboard shortcut to temporarily hide your application windows and show the Desktop, press Windows+D. Like the 'Show Desktop' button, this shortcut works as a toggle. To bring back your application windows, press Windows+D again.
Further Adventures in Showing the Desktop
If you have a mouse or pointing device with extra buttons, it's usually possible to assign the "Show Desktop" function to a button. For example, you could configure the middle scroll wheel button this way, and when you'd like to quickly see your desktop, just click the button. Configurations vary, depending on the mouse utility software (or drivers) you are using. Whichever way you set it up, you'll probably feel like you are using Windows 10 more efficiently. Have fun!
