Right-mouse-click an empty section of the desktop and select Personalize
Select Color section.
From the drop-down menu labeled Choose your mode, select Dark.

Setting Windows 11 Dark Mode

This feature has been around since Windows 10. To make the change for Windows 10:

Select Start
Select Settings .
Select Personalization

How to Use the New Date Calculator Feature in Windows 11

How many days until Christmas?

Or how many days until your wedding?

Or how many days until your vacation?

You could always pull out a printed calendar and start counting the days.

But here's a Cool Tip.

When you need to calculate the number of day until a specific day, Windows 11 has an app for that!

What? You haven't seen it?

It's a hidden feature of the Calculator app.

Here's how to use it:

Search for Calculator using the Search function in the Windows bar.
Select the Open Navigation button (the three horizontal lines on the top left corner) and then select Date Calculation.

Select the type of calculator

By default, Difference between dates is selected.

You can use this mode to calculate how many days are between two dates.
For example, you can find out how many days are left until your birthday or anniversary.

To calculate the difference between two dates, select a date under From and another date under To.

The number of days between the two dates will be displayed at the bottom.

Select From and To Dates

To calculate a future or past date based on a given date and a number of days, months, or years, select Add or subtract days from Date Calculation mode.

For example, you can find out what date it will be 100 days from now or what date it was 100 days ago.

Windows 11 Calculator Add or subtract days

Select Add or subtract days and
then enter the number of years, months or days

To calculate a future or past date, select a date under From and enter a number under Days to add/subtract.

You can also enter a number under Months to add/subtract or Years to add/subtract if you want to use those units instead of days. The resulting date will be displayed under To.

Signing Out of All Devices on Netflix is Good for Your Account

Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, providing a vast array of movies, TV shows, and documentaries for viewers to enjoy.

However, with the convenience of being able to access your account from multiple devices, there's a risk that unauthorized users might gain access to your account.

Maybe you signed into Netflix at a friends house and never logged out.
Perhaps you're still signed in on your Ex's TV.
Or your children have shared your account details with all of their friends.

Whatever the reason, you should periodically check which devices have signed into your account and remove some or all of them if necessary.

And change your password to keep them out.

Here's how to do it.

To sign out of Netflix sessions, follow these steps:

Go to the Netflix website, http://www.netflix.com.
Sign in to your account.
Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the page.
Select Account from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the Security and Privacy section.
Select one of these options below:

Select these sign out options

Sign Out of Some Devices

Click on Manage access and devices.
You'll see all recent logins, including their location.
Click on Sign Out next to any device to sign that device out of your account.

Sign Out of All Devices

Click on Sign out of all devices.
Confirm your choice by clicking on Sign Out.
This will sign you out of all devices currently signed in to your Netflix account, including your own device and any other devices that may have access to your account.

Change Your Password

While you're at the Account page, you can also select Change Your Password to change your password to prevent others from signing into your account.

That's it!

How to Master Microsoft Excel's Flash Fill Feature

One cool tech tip for using Microsoft Excel is to use the "Flash Fill" feature.

This feature allows you to quickly split, combine, or format data without using complicated formulas or macros.

For example, let's say you have two column of names, First and Last and you want to join them into one new column.

Instead of manually copying and pasting the data into the one new column and adding a space between the names, you can use Flash Fill to automate the process.

Here's how to do it:

Start by typing the first and last name in the third column of the first row, next to the last name.
Type the First name in the next row.
Excel will automatically recognize the pattern and suggest the combines names in the list.
Press Enter to confirm the suggestion.
The rest of the names will automatically be entered.

You can use Flash Fill for many other data manipulation tasks, such as formatting dates or removing duplicates.

This feature can save you a lot of time and effort, especially when working with large data sets.
