On many occasions in the past we have been telling you how to optimize the use of Windows 10 and the applications installed by various methods. For this we can make use of methods such as keyboard shortcuts, or some somewhat unknown system functions.
All this will provide us with the ability to work in a more fluid and productive way, both with the operating system itself and with its apps. But of course, they are functions and modes of use to which, if we are not very accustomed, it will cost us a bit to automate. However, with the sure time we ended up thanking him, as is the case with the most common Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts we use every day.
Another element that, how could it be otherwise, helps us more in these tasks, in addition to many others, is the mouse that we have in our hands almost all day. This is a very useful and versatile element that “hides” some functions that we surely don't know. Serve as an example the functionality that in certain cases the central mouse wheel presents us.
This is an element that is found in most models today and that is of great help to us when using Internet browsers. In fact, as most of you will know, this is a section of the mouse that serves us in these programs to close a tab, open a link in a new tab, move comfortably through the websites, etc. But while we can think that this central click on the mouse wheel is only going to be useful in the mentioned browsers, it can do other very interesting things.
So you close applications with the mouse wheel
Serve as an example that in the Microsoft Windows 10 system, we can click on the central button we are talking about to close the applications directly. This action is not too well known by most users, but once we get used to it, it will surely save us time. Therefore, we are going to show you how easy it is to make use of this functionality.
First of all you have to know that this will only work with applications that show a preview in the Windows taskbar, so they add an icon in it when they are running. It is also worth mentioning that it is something that will also work with Win32 desktop applications and with Windows 10 UWP.
Therefore, to carry out the closure to which we mention, as it is evident first we must have the application open with its corresponding icon located in the taskbar. It is then we have to hover the mouse cursor over the icon of this taskbar so that the thumbnail preview of the open application appears. Then we can move that same mouse cursor over the thumbnail that has appeared to end by clicking on it with the middle button of the mouse wheel.
To say that with this we close the app in a normal way, it is not a forced closure, so if we have something pending to save, before finishing it will notify us in a conventional way.
