Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 58 Computer Service and Repair Windows ReadyBoost allows a fl ash drive to store this information temporarily. Data on a fl ash drive can be accessed and manipulated much faster than data on a hard drive. Windows ReadyBoost is a great improvement to overall performance when a computer system is overworked. It is also an excellent feature for legacy lap- tops, which typically have much less memory than desktop computers. Windows Defender Windows Defender works directly with Internet Explorer to protect the computer from spyware. It was originally introduced to work with Internet Explorer 7. It scans fi les as they are downloaded to the computer through the Internet browser. Windows Defender identifi es what appears to be spyware, but allows the user to decide what action to take. Th e possible actions are ignore, allow, quarantine, and always allow. Quarantine isolates and stores the suspected spyware fi le, allow- ing the user to install it later if it is found not to be spyware. Windows Defender is fully integrated with the operating system for Windows 10 and works with Microsoft Edge, the replacement for Internet Explorer. Tablet PC Settings Tablet PC Settings were introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), and they continue through Windows 10. Th e enhancement to tablet settings that enabled touch screen was introduced in Windows Vista. Touch screens allow for users to in- put commands similarly to a mouse by touching the screen with a fi nger or a pen (stylus). Keyboard input can also be touch generated by displaying a keyboard on the screen and touching the desired keys. Windows 8 was designed primarily as an enhanced tablet mode GUI and eliminated the classic Windows desktop mode. Win- dows 10 integrated support for both desktop and tablet mode, giving the user the ability to easily transition between the two modes, and introduced touch screen ges- tures similar to keyboard shortcuts for touch screens. Windows 10 tablet settings allow the user to adjust the tablet mode behav- ior, such as which mode to use by default and whether to ask when automatical- ly switching tablet mode on or off . Figure 2-19A shows the Tablet mode settings menu. In Windows 10, touch screen and pen functionality are supported in both desktop and tablet mode so the settings for these features are no longer part of the tablet settings. Th e settings to confi gure the pen and touch display and calibrate pen input now have their own menus under Settings. Th e menu for Pen and Windows Ink settings is shown in Figure 2-19B. Th ere is also a calibration feature to convert handwriting into text associated with typing from a keyboard. After handwriting calibration is confi gured, handwriting can be converted to a typed document. Tablet devices commonly have their own confi guration software application and may not use the Microsoft Windows version. Windows 10 has continued feature-rich sup- port of tablet mode. Windows Services Manager Windows Services are applications that, most often, start when the computer is booted. Th ey typically run in the background without the user having to interact with them. In Windows 10, the easiest way to access this menu is to enter services.msc into the Run dialog box. Once the Services menu opens, users can start, stop, or disable specifi c services. 1002: 1.5
