Desktop Components of Windows 10

1. Start Menu
The start menu is like a road map for your computer. It lets you launch applications, shut down your computer,
access system settings, and much more.

2. Search Box
The search box allows you to quickly search your computer and the Internet at a point, right from the taskbar.

3. Task View / Timeline


The task view button, allows you to manage your virtual desktops and move application windows between
them. It allows you to again manage your virtual desktops, but also view websites and files that have been used
for the last 30 days

4. Pinned Apps
Applications that you use commonly can be pinned to your taskbar. By default, Windows has a couple that it
pins for you.

5. Task Tray
If an application is open, and has not been pinned to the taskbar, it will show in the task tray.

6. Notification Tray & Clock


The notification tray shows icons of applications that are running in the background and provides access to
Internet and sound settings. The clock displays the current time and date.

7. Action Center
The Action Center is Windows' main notification system. Any slide-out notification that you receive will be
stored in this panel until you clear them. The Action Center also provided quick access to system features such
as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Projection.

8. Desktop Icons
The desktop holds application icons. By default, we include shortcuts to log off or restart your computer, and
Firefox. You are free to add your own.
