Today’s featured tech tip….
Windows’ “Accessibility” settings can make your PC easier to use
Most Windows users tend to think Windows’ “Accessibility” settings are only useful for folks who are dealing with some type of disability, but that isn’t the case at all.
Truth be told, there are well over a dozen of these settings that can make most anyone’s PC easier and more enjoyable to use.
If so, I recommend that you check out all of Windows 10’s “Ease of Access” settings to see all the things you can tweak to make your machine easier to use.
Here’s how to access the “Accessibility” settings in Windows 11:
1 – Right-click the Start button and select Settings from the menu.
2 – In the left-hand pane, click Accessibility.
And here’s how to access them in Windows 10:
1 – Right-click the Start button and select Settings from the menu.
2 – Click Ease of Access.
Now that you have the Accessibility settings on the screen you can go through each category of settings to see what’s available. My guess is you’ll find something in there that will help you.
