4 tools that improve your productivity in windows 10

Productivity tools are those that make your daily task on the computer much easier, tidier and faster. There are a large number of applications that serve this purpose, but today we are going to name some 4 tools for Windows 10 that will surely make life easier for you on your PC.

Virtual desktops in Windows 10

Instead of dealing with dozens of sales at the same time, minimize, maximize, move them from one place to another looking for the best location, the easiest thing is to use virtual desktops. We can navigate on one desktop and quickly go to another where we are editing a video with Sony Vegas or correcting a photograph with Photoshop, tasks that we can do on a virtual desktop without distractions from any other open window, just to give some practical examples.

Although there are third-party applications that allow you to create virtual desktops , Windows 10 is already included with this function.

To open the virtual desktop we can click on the Task View icon next to the start button or follow these keyboard shortcuts.

WIN + CTRL + LEFT / RIGHT: Switch to the previous or next desktop

WIN + CTRL + D: Create a new desktop

WIN + CTRL + F4: Close the current desktop

WIN + TAB: Start Task Vie w

Snap assist

From Windows 7 it is possible to order the windows that are open automatically, so you can divide the screen into 4 windows simultaneously symmetrically. The only thing to do is drag the window to one edge of the screen and it will automatically occupy half of the desktop, then we can dock another window by dragging it towards the other band so that it occupies the other half of the screen. Another advantage is that we can enlarge or shrink any of the windows with a bar. This makes multitasking much easier, especially on large screens.

Cortana Reminders

You can use Cortana to remember some tasks that you have to do later, such as calling someone or setting an alarm at certain times. Cortana can be very useful in these cases.

Print a PDF

The ability to print to PDF has been available to Mac users for years and with Windows 10 this option was finally added. Printing in PDF is included by default in Windows 10 when we are going to print any document, either in Word or Dropbox.
