How to switch a Windows PC to a different WiFi network

Posted on July 5, 2022

If you have a WiFi-enabled Windows PC there might come a time when you’ll need to switch your connection to a different WiFi network than the one your machine is currently connected to.

For example, your laptop might automatically connect to a network with a weak signal when you know there’s another network available with a much stronger signal.

Or perhaps it automatically connected to an insecure unencrypted network instead of the secure network you intended to use.

Posted on March 10, 2022

And if you went looking for one, you probably noticed that there’s no setting in either the Control Panel or the Setting app to change the Taskbar’s thickness.

Personally, I like having my Taskbar as thin as possible to ensure that I have as much of the usable part of the screen in view as possible.

If you’d prefer a thinner Taskbar as well, I have some good news for you…  [Read more…]

Question from Dale:  I have always kept ReadyBoost enabled on a flash drive to speed up my Windows computers.

I’ve heard people say ReadyBoost doesn’t really help but it always seemed to make my PC’s run faster.
