  1. How to lock Windows 10 Computer?


    I had used the windows classic shell for a while and i use to click on start menu, and you can go and click on lock. I don't see this option on windows 10? The only way it seem to be control alt delete... then click on lock. Is that the right and only way?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
