Windows

Windows is Microsoft's operating-system family for PCs, with tools for applications, accounts, devices, networking and system maintenance.

Windows instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.

How do I choose the right Windows instructions?

Check the Windows version on the affected PC and the guide's Applies to label. Settings names and available features can differ between versions. Start with the task you need to complete rather than applying a repair intended for a different symptom.

What should I do before changing a Windows setting?

Record the original value and save open work. For a remote PC, consider whether the change could disconnect you or require a restart. After changing one setting, repeat the original task and check its result before moving to another fix.
