:trophy: Weekly Mission: Hidden Tech Gems

Every PC has features that most people never discover.

Maybe it’s a Windows shortcut, a radeon setting, a Steam option, a browser trick, a BIOS feature, a keyboard shortcut, a piece of software that quietly makes your gaming life better, or the one little trick that gives you the option to right click your task bar and end a task RIGHT THERE. Game changer.

This week, we’re building the community’s collection of those game changers and calling it Hidden Tech Gems. If you’re still like, what are those little discoveries? The ones that make you wonder, “Why didn’t I know about this sooner!?!?”

Windows Trick - Getting an ‘out of view’ Window back in view
Ever have a problem with a window that is outside of the monitor view/screen and you can’t get it back in your view?

Go to your task bar and hover over the problem app. You should see a preview of the window. Right-click the preview and select Move.

It may look like nothing happened, but press any directional key on your keyboard and the missing window will snap right to your mouse. You can now move your window into view and adjust the size!

Windows/Steam Tip - Scheduled Shutdown

Need to update some games overnight, but don’t want to wait to turn off your PC?

  1. Get an ETA on when your updates are finishing.

  2. Open your command prompt (Open Start Menu > Type on your keyboard “CMD” > Hit Enter to launch Command Prompt).

  3. Type in the following command in the Command Prompt Window: shutdown.exe /f /s /t (xxx) where(xxx) is the number of seconds before the computer shuts down (/f is force shutdown, /s is shutdown [you can restart with /r], /t is for time. To find the number of seconds, multiply 60 by the number of minutes.)
