First introduced in the Windows 10 Creators Update, Night Light was a welcome addition for those of us who struggle with the massive amounts of blue light leaking from our displays. Unfortunately, two major updates have come and gone, yet certain issues with the feature are still present to a large degree. If you find Night Light simply grayed out on the Action Center, or if it starts malfunctioning all of a sudden, then take solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one running into problems....

Computers are one of the best systems to view multimedia files. Are you unable to view photos of any format or other multimedia files using the Microsoft Photos app on your Windows computer?

Whenever I think of shooting away a series of questions to someone on Slack, the Away status makes me question myself. Should I really disturb her/him? And the situation is also true in the reverse scenario. Slack, for the most part, sets the status to Away if you remain inactive for too long, even if you have it open on a browser tab on your PC. At times, this feature can be a relief as it gives me the focus I want....

The background noise from the members on a call can be quite distracting. For that, calling apps, especially video conferencing apps, should let the admin or the organizer mute all the participants.

That’s because they developed a built-in administrator account in Windows that you can’t delete or mess around with....

Forgetting a password can be really annoying. You’re locked out of your account and can’t access anything unless you reset the password. While most services let you easily reset your password, changing the admin password on Windows 10 can be a bit troublesome.

If you’re in such a situation right now, then you’ve come to the right place....

But, unfortunately, the battery percentage indicator is missing like the other features that I wish Google Pixel 2 had. Just showing the charging symbol doesn’t make sense. One has to still wake up the display to view the battery percentage. It’d be quite helpful if the battery percentage was visible on the always-on display both while charging and when not plugged in....
