Of the many features added by the Microsoft Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Cortana and Timeline suggestions may be the one that annoys the most, especially if you do not use those features on a regular basis. More often than not, Cortana's suggestions are ill-timed or inappropriate for whatever tasks you are trying to complete. Fortunately, we can change that.
More about Windows
After the install of Microsoft Windows 10 April 2018 Update, suggestions are supposed to display links, appointment reminders, and other ideas based upon what Cortana and the Timeline are seeing and recording about your activity. These suggestions appear in the Action Center and in the Timeline, in addition to the other information they normally display.
Cortana and Timeline suggestions can be modified or turned off completely by editing a few configuration settings. This how-to tutorial shows you where to find the settings for suggestions and how to turn them off.
Note: This article is also available as part of a free PDF that features a variety of Windows 10 April 2018 Update tips and techniques.
Turn off Cortana suggestions
I noticed two problems with the suggestions feature of Cortana and Timeline. First, many of the suggested ideas are basically advertisements for other features found in Windows 10. Second, those inappropriate suggestions are often displayed at inappropriate and inconvenient times.
For example, the 'suggestion' shown in Figure A has been suggested to me in the Action Center every day on every computer since installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. I have no kids with Android phones, and I have no need for Microsoft Launcher, yet it is suggested every day.
Figure A
To turn off suggestions in Cortana, open Windows Settings (Figure B) by clicking the Start Menu and then clicking the settings icon.
Figure B
Click the Cortana link, and then click the Cortana Across My Devices item in the left navigation menu (Figure C). Click all the toggle switches on this page to Off.

Turn off Timeline suggestions
The settings for the Timeline are buried in a different place in the configuration structure. First, open the Windows Settings screen as before (Figure B), only this time you should click the System link and then the Multitasking item in the left navigation menu (Figure D). In the Timeline area, click the toggle switch to Off.
Figure D
By making these configuration setting changes, you should not see anymore suggestions on either Cortana or the Timeline. Of course, you can always turn suggestions on again by reversing this procedure.
Suggestions and digital assistants
It is important to note that many Windows 10 users find the suggestion features of Cortana and Timeline compelling and convenient. For those users, turning off suggestions completely will cripple Cortana's abilities and render the digital assistant practically useless. So, only use the steps outlined in this tutorial if you are absolutely sure you do not want any suggestions to display at all.

Turning off indexing on your hard drives is another very simple way to boost performance in your PC. Before I get into the details of turning off indexing, let’s try to go through the reasons why you would want to disable indexing in the first place and when you should leave it enabled.
There are basically three cases as I see it when it comes to indexing, which makes it really easy to determine whether you should enable or disable indexing:
1. Really fast CPU (i5, i7) + a regular hard drive = keep indexing on
2. Slow CPU + any type of hard drive = don’t index
3. Any type of CPU + SSD hard drive = don’t index
So it basically comes down to the type of CPU and the type of hard drive. You never want to turn it on for an SSD drive and same goes if you have a slow CPU. Don’t worry, turning off the indexing service will do no harm to your computer. You may then ask, well how am I supposed to search for something!? Well, don’t worry, you can still search, it just won’t be indexed.
So ask yourself when was the last time you really searched for something anyway using Windows Explorer? I’ve haven’t performed a search in years now because I now rely mostly on cloud services or I just happen to be very organized and know where all my files are. Also, if you read the comments on my previous post about the Windows 7 search feature, you’ll see how many people think its absolutely terrible anyway.
If you do use it occasionally, then it’s a good idea to modify the default settings and only index the absolute necessary folders you may want to search. So now let’s get into how to actually disable indexing.
Note: In order to not confuse, you should know that you can STILL search your computer in Windows 7 even with indexing turned off, it’ll just search without an index. I have found that at least in Windows 7, the search sucks whether or not you have indexing turned on or not.
Turn Off Indexing Selectively
There are a couple of ways you can turn off indexing. Firstly, if you still want to be able to search common locations like Documents or My Pictures, etc, then you can selectively disable indexing for other non-essential location. To do that, click on Start and type in indexing. The first option should be Indexing Options.
Here you will see a list of the currently indexed locations. You can click on the Modify button to change what locations you want indexed. By default, Windows 7 will index Outlook, IE history, any offline files, the Start Menu and your User directory, which contains Documents, My Pictures, etc.
If you don’t need all the folders listed indexed, then go ahead and uncheck them after clicking on Modify. Since my My Pictures folder has over 50 GB of photos all named DSCXXX or IMGXXX, there was no point in indexing that folder because I was never going to search it. All the photos in that folder were organized into subfolders by event, etc. So when I disabled My Pictures indexing, I noticed a decent speed boost because Windows was no longer trying to index those files. In addition, I add hundreds of pictures a week to that folder, so the indexing never would stop.
Remove Outlook from Indexing
If you want to remove Microsoft Outlook from the search index, you may notice that it doesn’t appear in the top list, but does so in the bottom list. So how do you get rid of it from the search index? To do that, you first have to open Microsoft Outlook and then click on File – Options.
Now click on Search on the left side and click on the Indexing Options button on the right. It seems to bring up the same Indexing Options dialog, but now when you click Modify, you’ll be able to deselect Microsoft Outlook.
Turn Off Indexing for a Drive
Another way to turn off indexing is to tell Windows not to index a particular drive. I recently added a hard drive to my Windows 7 machine to use as a backup. By default, Windows was indexing files on the backup drive, which was useless since I was never going to search that drive.
To turn off indexing on a drive, go ahead and open My Computer or Computer and right-click on your local drive (C, D, etc) and choose Properties.
On the General tab, you’ll see a checkbox at the bottom called “Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching” in Windows XP or “Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties” in Windows 7 and 8.
Go ahead and uncheck that and you’ll get a popup dialog box asking whether you want to apply these settings to all files and subfolders or just to the root of the drive:
Choose all files and subfolders, otherwise it’s going to still index everything on the drive! Click OK and you’ll have to sit and wait for a few minutes as the settings are applied to all the files on your computer. Unfortunately, every file in the file system has an attribute that tells Windows whether or not it should be indexed, so this has to to be updated for all files.
If you get any Access Denied errors along the way, just go ahead and click Ignore All because it’s probably just system files that are currently in use. In the example above, I chose the C drive, but you don’t have to turn indexing off for the C drive normally as the system and program files are not being indexed by default. If you have a secondary drive or other partitions, then it’s best to disable indexing using the method above.
Completely Disable Indexing
There is one more way to disable indexing and it will totally turn it off. The above methods will reduce what’s indexed by Windows, but the indexing service will still be running. Here I’ll show you how to turn off the indexing service altogether, which is I’ve done and have never run into an issue where I needed it enabled.
First open the Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools. Then click on Services in the list. You can also open Services directly by typing services.msc in the Run dialog or Start Menu search box.
Now scroll down till you find either Indexing Service or Windows Search in the list of services. You’ll see it’s probably in the Started state and is set to Automatic.
Double-click on Windows Search and click the Stop button to stop the service. Then change the Startup Type to Disabled.
After this, you’re going to want to restart your computer. When you turn indexing off, you can still perform a search in Windows, it’ll just give you a message saying it’s going to be slower because there index is not running.
As I mentioned before, I did a test with the index on and off and performed a search on the entire C drive for a file in one of my indexed locations and the results were pretty much the same! It was literally only a few seconds difference, but both searches took over a minute. Probably the reason why I never use Windows search in the first place. If you have any questions about indexing in Windows, let us know in the comments. Enjoy!

Microsoft has introduced a bunch of new touchpad gesture with Windows 10. These new touchpad gestures allow you quickly switch between running apps, open task view, open Cortana, and perform many other jobs by simply moving two or more fingers on your laptop’s touchpad.
New touchpad gestures in Windows 10
In addition to the standard gestures like to tap to click, two finger tap to right-click, and pinch to zoom, the following new gestures are available in Windows 10.
#Three finger tap – open Cortana
# Three finger drags and slides – switch apps
# Three finger up – open task view
# Three finger down – show desktop Usb to lan converter driver for windows 10.
# Four finger tap – open action center
Although these gestures help you quickly switch between apps and get your job done quickly, not all users like these gestures offered in Windows 10. Since all these actions can be performed using keyboard shortcuts as well, many users prefer using keyboard shortcuts over touchpad gestures.
If you’re not using one or more touchpad gestures and want to turn them off, you can do so by following given below instructions. One can also use these directions to turn on touchpad gestures in Windows 10.
Turn Off Windows 10 Tips Gpo
NOTE: If you want to completely turn off the touchpad, please refer to our 3 ways to turn off the touchpad in Windows 10 guide.
Turn on or off touchpad gestures via Settings
This method is only for notebooks with precision touchpad. To check if your laptop’s touchpad is precision or not, please follow the directions in Step1 to 4.

Turn on or off the touchpad gestures you want to enable or disable and then close Settings app. That’s it!
If your laptop is not equipped with precision touchpad, you will only see the option to change the touchpad delay before clicks work (to avoid accidentally moving mouse cursor while typing).
Turn on or off touchpad gestures via Control Panel
Most of the laptops, including those that don’t have precision touchpad, shipped post the release of Windows 8 (happened in October 2012) offer multi-touch gestures. If the touchpad driver has been updated to Windows 10, your non-precision touchpad also likely offers most of the gestures if not all.
Step 1: In the Start menu search box or Run command box, type Main.cpl and then press Enter key to open Mouse properties. This can also be launched by opening Control Panel, changing View by to Small icons, and then clicking Mouse.
