Windows Task Manager Tricks
Most Windows users only pull up the Task Manager when a program is frozen and they need to kill it. While it’s perfectly fine to use the Task Manager this way, you’re also overlooking some handy features if you never look deeper.

Select The Right Orientation

Landscape or portrait? That’s the first question. With phone cameras, the right orientation can make all the difference between an average photo and a great one.
If you’re trying to capture a faraway shot of a farmhouse, landscape mode can be a good choice. But if you’re trying to capture a tall structure such as a windmill, portrait might be a better option.
The right orientation also depends on the platform where you’re planning to publish the photo. For example, if you want it for your Facebook timeline, you’ll need to click it in landscape mode.
Where are Windows 10 icons located?
Whether you want to change the default icon of a certain folder or the icon of a shortcut you have created, you might wonder where you could find new icons. While there are lots of websites that offer custom made icon sets, you might, however, prefer to use icons that are already found on your Windows 10 computer.

GIMP vs. Photoshop
Photoshop is the most popular image-editing app on the market, and GIMP is the best free alternative. However, deciding between the two can be difficult. Both Adobe Photoshop and GIMP have their pros and cons, so which is right for you? Essentially, which image editor you choose to use depends on what you need it for.

WiFi Signal Strength
We had a discussion about being able to pick up WiFi single in another building on your property. One answer was to have a WiFi extender that uses the power line in your home. It sends your internet signal over the power line. Another is to get a WiFi Range Extender (I use one of these in KY)

An app on your cell phone can help figure out how strong the WiFi signals are. Use it out in that outbuilding to see if your signal is strong enough to how strong your neighbors are.
