多任务处理(Multitasking)已经深入到我们身上,以至于我们实际上已经忘记了我们正在做的事情。任何(Any)资深的Windows用户都会对Windows 10从Windows 95开始的改进印象深刻。现在不仅管理多个应用程序变得更加容易,而且您还可以看到所有窗口的实时预览。
Windows 10 中的多任务处理
在这篇文章中,我将向您介绍一些技巧,关于如何以多种方式精美地管理多个窗口、多任务处理、节省大量时间并在紧张的情况下提高工作效率。
1. 任务视图而不是 ALT + TAB
使用ALT + TAB / SHIFT + ALT + TAB已经使用了很长时间。虽然它们擅长让您在下一个和上一个选项卡之间切换,但如果您打开了十到十五个窗口,您最终将花费更多时间来找出您想要切换的窗口。不要忘记,随着打开窗口数量的增加,每个选项卡的标题文本的大小也会减小。
使用 Windows 10 时,使用任务视图是一个更好的主意。它在一个放大的矩形中为您提供所有打开的应用程序的图形视图以及每个窗口的预览。您可以选择要切换的那个,它会立即切换。这是它的外观:
您可以通过同时使用 Windows+Tab together Cortana搜索框旁边查找堆叠的矩形来调用任务视图。(Task)
2. 没有第二台显示器(Monitor)?使用虚拟桌面(Use Virtual Desktops)
使用多台显示器是进行多任务处理的最佳方式之一。您不仅可以看到更多内容,还可以运行一个显示器可以处理的许多应用程序。但并不是每个人都想要第二台显示器,如果你是那种带着笔记本电脑在移动的人,那么第二台显示器是不可能的。
Windows 10 提供虚拟桌面(Virtual Desktops),您可以在其中创建几乎任意数量的桌面。您可以访问任务栏(Taskbar)、开始菜单(Start Menu)等。
要创建虚拟桌面(Virtual Desktop),请按任务栏上的任务视图(Task View)按钮或使用Windows + Tab。这将显示正在运行的应用程序列表以及右下角带有加号的“新桌面”选项。
现在,您可以一个接一个地创建任意数量的桌面,它看起来像这样。
Windows + Tab / Task View显示两个虚拟桌面,以及当您将鼠标悬停在每个桌面上时的窗口预览。
最后,如果要在虚拟桌面之间切换,请使用键盘快捷键Windows Key + Ctrl + Left和Windows Key + Ctrl + Right Arrow.
注意:如果您关闭任何虚拟桌面,则该桌面的所有窗口都将在Desktop One(Desktop One)中可用。
3.使用Snap Assist并排堆叠(Side)Windows(Stack Windows Side)
如果您想并排使用几个窗口,Windows 10 自带对多任务处理(Multitasking)的原生支持。使用Snap Assist功能,您可以将一个窗口拖到最左侧,除非您看到一个透明的类似停靠栏的东西,窗口可以自行粘住。您最多可以并排堆叠 4 个窗口,如下图所示:
当您需要查看一个窗口并在一秒钟内记录或分析时,这非常方便。Windows 10 提供了一个内置的多任务设置,您可以在设置应用程序(Settings App)中搜索它,它提供以下选项:
这些设置默认启用,但如果您想更改Snap Assistant的行为,您可以在此处进行更改。比如说(Say),我不喜欢在调整其中一个窗口的大小时调整窗口的大小。
您最多可以像这样捕捉 4 个窗口,虽然它们会自动发生,但您始终可以调整它们的大小以最适合。
4.您还可以滚动非活动窗口(Scroll Inactive Windows)!
很多时候,您有一个包含大量数据的第二个窗口,您需要滚动。Windows 10 允许您滚动此类窗口,而无需使用Scroll Inactive Windows实际切换到它们。
转到Settings > Device > Mouse当我将鼠标悬停在它们上方时(Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them),您会发现滚动非活动窗口选项,您需要切换以打开。现在使用鼠标,您只需将指针移到那里并滚动,它就会起作用。焦点将保留在您想要的窗口上,您仍然可以访问第二个窗口上的所有数据。

5. 工作时喜欢看视频(Watching Videos)?迷你播放器(Mini Player)随时为您提供帮助
当我工作时,我通常会在后台播放视频。如果您大部分时间都是独自工作,这会有所帮助。Windows 10 Movies & TV 应用程序带有一个“ Mini View ”选项,该选项曾经在Windows Media Player中提供。此选项位于应用程序上的全屏按钮旁边。您可以随时调整大小。
这些是我在 Windows 10 PC 上进行多任务处理时使用的大部分内容。
我相信有很多,如果你知道的话,请在评论部分告诉我们。我相信你做的比我好很多!

How to Multitask in Windows 10 like a Pro
Multitasking has grown so much into us that we have actually forgotten that we are doing it. Any veteran Windows user would be impressed with how much Windows 10 has improved starting from Windows 95. Not only managing multiple apps are now much easier, but you get to see a live preview of all of your windows.
Multitasking in Windows 10
In this post, I am talking you some tips, on how you can beautifully manage your multiple windows, multitask in a number of ways, and save a lot of time & be more productive in tight situations.
1. Task View instead of ALT + TAB
Using ALT + TAB / SHIFT + ALT + TAB had been used from ages. While they are good at letting you switch between next, and previous tabs, if you have like ten to fifteen windows open, you will end up putting up more time to find out the window you want to switch. Not to forget that as the number of open windows increases, the size of the title text for each tab reduces as well.
When using Windows 10, using Task View is a better idea. It gives you a graphical view of all open apps in one zoomed-in rectangle along with a preview of each window. You can select the one you want to switch, and it switches instantly. This is how it looks:
You can invoke Task view either by using Windows+Tab together or look for the stacked rectangles right next to the Cortana search box in the taskbar.
2. Do not have a Second Monitor? Use Virtual Desktops
Using multiple monitors is one of the best ways to do multitasking. Not only you get to see more, but you can also run a number of apps that one display can handle. But then not everybody wants a second display, and if you are the kind of person who is on the move with a laptop, the secondary monitor is out of the question.
Windows 10 offers Virtual Desktops, where you can create virtually any number of desktops. You get access to Taskbar, Start Menu, and so on.
To create a Virtual Desktop, press the Task View button on the taskbar or use Windows + Tab. This will show the list of the running apps and the option of “New Desktop” with a plus sign on the bottom right.
Now, you can create any number of desktops, one after the other, and it will look like this.
The Windows + Tab / Task View displays both virtual desktops, and a preview of windows in each desktop as you hover over them.
Lastly, if you want to switch between the virtual desktops, use the keyboard shortcuts Windows Key + Ctrl + Left and Windows Key + Ctrl + Right Arrow.
Note: If you close any of the virtual desktops, all windows of that Desktop will become available in Desktop One.
3. Stack Windows Side by Side with Snap Assist
If you want to use a couple of windows side by side, Windows 10 comes with native support for Multitasking. Using the Snap Assist feature, you can drag one window to the complete left, unless you get to see a transparent dock-like thing where the windows can stick themselves. You can stack up to 4 windows side by side just like how it looks in the image below:
This is very handy when you need to look at one window and note or analyze in a second. Windows 10 offers an inbuilt setting for multitasking which you can search in the Settings App, and it offers the following options:
These settings are enabled by default, but if you want to change the behavior of Snap Assistant, you can change it here. Say, for example, I don’t like windows to resize when I am resizing one of the windows.
You can snap up to 4 windows like this, and while they happen automatically, you can always resize them for the best fit.
4. You can also Scroll Inactive Windows!
Many times, you have a second window that has a lot of data, and you need to scroll. Windows 10 lets you scroll such windows without actually switching to them by using Scroll Inactive Windows.
Go to Settings > Device > Mouse, and you will find the Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them option which you need to toggle to turn On. Now using your mouse, all you need to is get your pointer over there, and scroll, and it will work. The focus will remain on the window you want, and you still get access to all data on the second window.

5. Love Watching Videos when working? Mini Player is here to help
When I work, I usually have a video playing in the background. It helps if you are working alone most of the time. Windows 10 Movies & TV app come with a “Mini View” option which used to be there in Windows Media Player. This option is available right next to the full-screen button on the app. You can always resize the way you want.
These are most of the things I use when multitasking on my Windows 10 PC.
I am sure there are a lot many, and if you know of any, do let us know in the comments section. I am sure you do a lot better than me!
