The Windows 10 screen offers the following main elements:

 Start button—appears in the lower-left corner of the screen, and you click it to
display the Start menu.

 Start menu—The new Start menu is divided into two sections. On the left is a
navigation section that gives you access to your user account; your most frequently
used apps; system features such as File Explorer, Settings, and Power; and the
rest of your apps (via the All Apps command). On the right is start screen that offers
quick viewing and access to the tiles of a few apps.

 Tiles—The rectangles you see on the right side of the Start menu each represent
an item on your PC—most tiles represent apps, but you can also add tiles for
folders and websites—and you click a tile to launch that item.

 Live tiles—Many of the Start menu tiles are “live” in the sense that they display
often-updated information instead of the app icon. For example, the Weather tile
shows the current weather for your default location; the Mail tile displays recent
email messages; and the Calendar tile shows your upcoming events. Note that
these tiles don’t display any live content until you have used them at least once.

 User account—Clicking this icon gives you access to several account-related

tasks accessing the Accounts section of the Settings app, locking your PC, and
signing out of your account.

 Desktop—the desktop is back in Windows 10 and resumes its (rightful, in our

opinion) place in the main interface as the default location for programs and
documents.

 Taskbar—This strip along the bottom of the screen displays icons for each running
app. You can also pin an app’s icon so that a shortcut to it remains in the taskbar
even when the app isn’t running.

 Search box—You use this box to search your PC. This feature is the easiest way
to launch apps, settings, and documents in Windows 10.

 Task View—Click this taskbar icon to display thumbnails of your running apps and
to create virtual desktops.

 Pinned apps—The Windows 10 taskbar comes with several pinned apps, which
means those icons remain on the taskbar even when the apps are closed.

 Notification area—This part of the taskbar displays various system icons for
features such as networking, sound, and power, as well as the notification issued
by Windows.

  Settings—It is the central location to customize, configure, and update your
operating system.

 Date and Time—Display the date and time.

 Power button— Provides users with multiple options to exit their computers.
Options are shut down, hibernate, restart and sleep.

 Desktop Icons—It is a small graphical representation of files, folders,

programs, and other items. When you first start Windows 10, you'll see at
least one icon on your desktop.
