Devices

“Devices” settings are much similar to “Devices and Printers” only that “Devices” is highly streamlined and does show multimedia devices like the Control Panel version.

Corners and edges

“Corners and edges” settings are an awesome thing to see in your pc. The sleep and power settings in the menu are more basic as compared to the control panel. You can make a rudimentary adjustment using these settings.

Your account

It is not possible to disconnect your account from Microsoft and change or create your account picture. “Your account” settings have an additional option to change an existing account to a child’s account.  If incase you wanted to round out your account, then you will be required to login to your Microsoft account located in the Live.com website and use the more accounts settings online option.

Sign-in options

It would have been clearer if the sign-in settings if they were called password settings. The question is; what does the name have? Otherwise the most important thing to know is that is that your device security is here.

Other accounts
