Change Title Bar Color in Windows

What should’ve been a no-brainer ended up not being an option—changing the color of a window’s title bar. If you’re unhappy with the drab white, there’s an easy trick you can do to change the color. To begin with, visit your update settings and see if build 10525 is available for download and install. You will have to wait for the download to install and your system to restore. After that you will need to head back to Settings and click on Personalization. Now, make sure “Show color on Start, Taskbar, and Action center” is selected. Choose your color…Yep you can finally choose your own color.

Change the Login Screen Background

Windows 10 uses the same “accent color” used elsewhere on your desktop. By default, it grabs an accent color from your desktop background. To change this, visit the Settings app, select Personalization, select Colors, and disable the “Automatically pick an accent color from my background” option. The color you select here will be used on your login screen if you’ve used the above registry hack.

Change the Default Search Engine in Edge

Bing, unsurprisingly, is Edge’s default search engine, but it doesn’t have to be. Navigate to another, and if it’s supported, you’ll see an option to add it to Edge. If a search engine isn’t supported, change your search provider, click or tap the menu button — that’s the button with three dots at the top-right corner of the MIcroosft Edge window. Select “Settings” in the menu. Scroll down in the Settings panel and tap or click the “View advanced settings” button near the bottom. Scroll down again in the Advanced settings list and you’ll see the “Search in the address bar with” box. Click or tap it and select “Add new.” You’ll see a list of available search providers. Select the search engine you want to use and click or tap “Add as default.” If the search engine you want to use doesn’t appear here, be sure you’ve visited the search engine’s homepage first. If you have and it still doesn’t appear, that search engine probably doesn’t support OpenSearch yet so be patient or pick another one.

Access the Quick Actions Menu

To access the Quick Actions menu, simply click the Action Center icon in your notification area, which looks a lot like a chat bubble icon. From there, just click any icon to quickly adjust any of its settings.

Possibly the best thing about having the Start menu back is the ability to access all your apps from it. All you have to do is just click the “All Apps” option to see them in an alphabetical list.
