Один из простых вариантов, который немного схож с вариантами предыдущих версий Windows.
- Зайдите в «Проводник» и найдите круглую иконку знака вопроса.

Способы открытия «Справки»
Виндовс 10 подразумевает получение несколько вариантов получения ответов на интересующие вас вопросы о работе операционной системы. Один из вариантов может требовать подключения к интернету, зато вы сможете получить только самые свежие данные. К тому же, сама работа со «Справками» стала удобнее.
Способ 1: Поиск
Отличительной особенностью Windows 10 стал удобный поиск по системе, который по умолчанию реализован в виде иконки лупы в левой части «Панели задач». Данный способ очень простой в исполнении:
- Нажмите на иконку лупы в «Панели задач», чтобы раскрыть поисковую строку.
- Вбейте в неё «справка». Перейдите в самый первый вариант поисковой выдачи.
- Откроется специальное окно, где можно включить пункт «Отображать советы по работе с Windows», то есть пункт отвечающий за всплывающие подсказки во время работы с операционной системой.
Данный вариант удобен тем, что вам не нужно будет открывать «Справку» каждый раз, как вы будете испытывать сложности при работе с компьютером, так как операционная система сама будет давать подсказки и ссылаться на статьи с официального сайта Microsoft, где вы можете подробнее изучить возникшую проблему и способы её решения.
Способ 2: Проводник
К «Справке» в Windows 10 можно перейти прямо из «Проводника». Однако, чтобы полноценно использовать данный способ вам нужно будет подключение к интернету, так как большинство инструкций будет просматриваться через официальные ресурсы Майкрософт.
Инструкция к способу выглядит следующим образом:
- Откройте «Проводник».
- В верхнем правом углу найдите и нажмите по иконке вопроса.
- Вас перебросит на веб-страницу, где вы сможете получить небольшие рекомендации, а также ссылки на часто задаваемые вопросы, касательно работы с операционной системой Windows 10.
- Обратите внимание на два первых варианта поисковой выдачи Bing, что расположены под краткой «Справкой». Первый вариант перенесёт вас на страницу, где можно получить развёрнутую «Справку» (в данном случае по работе с «Проводником»), а второй вариант ведёт на страницу с общей «Справкой» по работе с Windows 10.
Работа со «Справкой» по операционной системе в Windows 10 несколько отличается от работы в более старых версиях ОС. Несмотря на это, у вас есть возможность включить специальные подсказки, которые будут вас сопровождать во время работы в системе и системных приложениях.
All the different ways to find solutions to problems in Windows 10
Updated on November 15, 2021
What to Know:
- Windows 10 has a built-in help app called Get Help.
- You can connect to a Microsoft Support Person and speak to them directly.
- Every default Windows program has a Help link to instructions.
This article explains the different ways to access Windows 10 support and get help to troubleshoot any problems in your PC.
Use the Get Help App for Windows 10 Support
Windows has a dedicated Get Help app to help you resolve the most common problems. It is a virtual chat agent that pops up to answer your doubts.
-
Select the search button on the taskbar. Type “Get Help” and select the result or press Enter. You can also find it in the list of programs from the Start menu.
-
Type the problem in the search box. Go through the top articles for any recommended solutions.
-
Speak to a virtual agent directly by selecting the Contact Us button.
-
Start a chat with a virtual agent. Select your product (E.g., Windows) and issue to begin the conversation.
-
If you still haven’t found a solution, type “talk to a human” and ask to connect with an actual support person at Microsoft’s help desk.
Select the Help Button
All Windows tools have a Help feature on the menu or a blue Help button with a question mark. Select it to open the support content in the Bing browser.
There can be a few exceptions. You will come across these instances depending on the type of program you are in:
- The Office suite displays help within the program window.
- Settings has a Get Help link that opens all support content in a window. Select the support article, and it opens in Bing.
- Type the Help command in the Command Prompt window to display a list of commands and their syntax.
Use the Search Box on the Taskbar
The Search Box on the taskbar is a handy shortcut for Windows settings and Windows 10 help as it can also deliver web results via Bing.
-
Type a keyword or key phrase that describes the problem.
-
The search results display a Best Match which can be the default Windows troubleshooter for the feature or the Settings shortcuts. It can also show online search results that tap into solutions on the web.
-
If both fail to resolve the problem, use Bing search results to open the browser and learn about the issue on the web.
Use the Microsoft Support Website
The Microsoft Support website hosts all support articles around all Microsoft products. It is a central hub for not only Windows but also all Microsoft products. You can find support pages for Admins, Developers, teachers and students, and small businesses. Select More Support on the top navigation bar to access these areas from the dropdown.
Use the search bar to search for how-to articles on all Microsoft products. You can even go to Ask the community on Microsoft’s site and tap into the vast network of Microsoft users on the discussion boards.
Note:
You can report Support scams if fraudsters contact you claiming to be from Microsoft.
Use Windows Troubleshooters for Step-by-Step Solutions
Windows includes several built-in troubleshooters that can automatically fix a problem. The troubleshooter is handy because it can solve critical system issues on its own. You cannot turn this off.
Windows also sends diagnostic data to Microsoft servers that analyze and offer fixes under Recommended troubleshooting. You can choose to follow or ignore these recommendations.
-
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
-
Alternatively, search for Troubleshoot with Windows Search and select Troubleshoot Settings.
-
Scroll through the list and select the troubleshooter for your problem.
Search for the Solution Online
A web search is a more common way to get help for Windows 10 problems. Be specific with your search. If you spot an error message or Stop Error codes, use the exact wording to get more accurate results. Try a prefix like [SOLVED] with your search term to filter solutions that have worked.
You might need to identify your laptop model to find the right solution.

How To Get Help In Windows 10. After Windows 7, Windows 10 is utilised by 56.48 percent of the world’s population, making it one of the most popular operating systems. More customers upgraded thanks to Microsoft’s free upgrade offer, especially those who thought Windows 8 was a dreck improvement. Popularity, however, does not imply perfection. Every coin has two sides, and the Windows operating system is no exception. So, what should you do if you have an issue with Windows 10? Isn’t it true that you can search the internet? Yes, indeed! You may “ask” for help in a variety of ways on a Windows 10 PC, and in this video, we’ll teach you how to seek help on a Windows 10 PC.
How To Obtain Assistance In Windows 10
Method 1: Direct Search
This is a no-brainer choice. By navigating to the Start menu and typing the issue, you can search for any query that you have. In the form of suggestions, Microsoft will swiftly present you with a few appropriate possibilities. Select the topic that you believe will provide an answer to your question.
Method 2: F1 Functional Key
When I plan to press another key and the help choices appear on my screen, the F1 key irritates me. Nonetheless, it is a very practical alternative. Simply press the F1 key on your keyboard, and Windows 10’s chivalry will arrive to solve all of your problems. And keep in mind that this is a Windows 10 (or any Windows for that matter) specific feature; you may receive help in any software by pressing the F1 key. The option is useful for minor issues that the F1 guide will resolve immediately, however you will have to go through a few stages.
Method 3: Tips Application
Tips is a pre-installed programme that appears whenever you install a newer version of Windows. It’s a good programme for solving problems, but it’s limited in scope because it doesn’t cover a wide range of difficulties. By providing a complete step-by-step instruction to the answer, the programme aids in the development of your core knowledge of Windows.
Open the Start menu and type “tips” into the search box. To open the app, simply click on it.
The app’s visually pleasing design does more than impress. There are a few resources available to assist you. If you’ve recently upgraded your PC, go to Discover what’s new, or go to one of the support alternatives listed below.
The ostensibly brief training provides you with the essential knowledge you need to comprehend the new features or resolve the vexing problem you’re experiencing.
For example, our PCs received the May 2019 update, which included the ability to use a brightness slider from the Action Center.
Method 4: Search Bar
The search bar is by far the most straightforward way to look up a query in Windows 10. You’ll be routed to settings options related to your search, as well as some tips and techniques.
Enter terms related to your search and select the most appropriate option.
Method 5: Settings
Toggling off a switch or changing some additional settings is literally where all your solutions are found. You can get assistance and provide feedback to improve the process. Press the Start button and select Settings from the drop-down menu.
Also Read:How To Defeat the Emperor In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Enter any question or browse through the many themes.
If you’re having trouble with your wireless connection, for example, go to Network & Internet. For further possibilities, select Wi-Fi.
You can choose the choices you want here.
Method 6: ‘Get Help’ App
Get Help is a dedicated software that will assist you in resolving your problems. It’s an add-on for the Tips app that provides you with a restricted number of alternatives in the form of tips and tricks. Search for ‘Get Help’ using the Start button on your keyboard.
Select the app. You’ll see a mostly empty, white-coated software that will take you through the process with the assistance of an automated assistant. Fill in the blank rectangle in the app with the question you have and press Enter. Click on the other options underneath ‘Which one did you mean?’ if the automated result doesn’t match your query.
The automated assistance will show you some browser links that are relevant to your problems. Select it by clicking on it. You can also provide feedback by selecting Yes or No next to the question “Did I address your problem?”
Method 7: Question Mark
A blue coloured question mark option for fast help is available in a few pre-installed Windows programmes. One of them is File Manager. Click on any such icon you see in any of the apps you’re using.
You’ll be taken to Microsoft Edge, where you’ll see a variety of help options related to the problem you’re looking for.
Method 8: App Menu
This choice goes by several names: hamburger icon (assuming it’s horizontal), three dots, vertical dots, and so on. It basically allows you to personalise the settings of the app you’re presently using.
Select Help from the three-dot menu. There will be a few options available to you. Your questions will almost certainly be answered in the Help Center.
Method 9: Microsoft Community
If you have access to the internet, this is the solution to all of your issues. The greatest forum is Microsoft’s free online support group, which is staffed by Microsoft workers, newcomers to technology, and tech lovers. Visit the website and select a category.
The most recent help topics will be displayed. There’s also an All help counter, which keeps track of millions of requests.
You can also submit a question, but this will require a Microsoft ID.
Make a display name for yourself that will appear in all of your boards. Select the I accept checkbox and click Finish.
A page that looks like a form will display. You’ll need to write in the Subject, which should be a brief description of the problem you’re having. You can also include an image, links, and other content in the body text of your issue.
There are a few possibilities at the bottom. Choose If you have a common problem or need assistance with something, ask a question, or choose one of the options below. If you want to start a discussion that you believe Microsoft should respond to, post a discussion. Select the category, your Windows version, the issue you’re having difficulties with, and the sub-topics once you’ve decided what it will be. To receive notifications when your questions are answered, check the box Notify me when someone responds to this post. Then press the Submit button.
Make sure you select the notify option so that Microsoft staff and others can respond to your concerns.
Whatever strategy you use, you will undoubtedly find a solution to your problem. Some techniques are OS-wide (Methods 1,2), while others are application-specific (Methods 1,2). Make your selection based on this.

How to Get Help in Windows 10
All the different ways to find solutions to problems in Windows 10
What to Know:
This article explains the different ways to access Windows 10 support and get help to troubleshoot any problems in your PC.
Use the Get Help App for Windows 10 Support
Windows has a dedicated Get Help app to help you resolve the most common problems. It is a virtual chat agent that pops up to answer your doubts.
Select the search button on the taskbar. Type “Get Help” and select the result or press Enter. You can also find it in the list of programs from the Start menu.
Type the problem in the search box. Go through the top articles for any recommended solutions.
Speak to a virtual agent directly by selecting the Contact Us button.
Start a chat with a virtual agent. Select your product (E.g., Windows) and issue to begin the conversation.
If you still haven’t found a solution, type “talk to a human” and ask to connect with an actual support person at Microsoft’s help desk.
Select the Help Button
All Windows tools have a Help feature on the menu or a blue Help button with a question mark. Select it to open the support content in the Bing browser.
There can be a few exceptions. You will come across these instances depending on the type of program you are in:
Use the Search Box on the Taskbar
The Search Box on the taskbar is a handy shortcut for Windows settings and Windows 10 help as it can also deliver web results via Bing.
Type a keyword or key phrase that describes the problem.
The search results display a Best Match which can be the default Windows troubleshooter for the feature or the Settings shortcuts. It can also show online search results that tap into solutions on the web.
If both fail to resolve the problem, use Bing search results to open the browser and learn about the issue on the web.
Use the Microsoft Support Website
The Microsoft Support website hosts all support articles around all Microsoft products. It is a central hub for not only Windows but also all Microsoft products. You can find support pages for Admins, Developers, teachers and students, and small businesses. Select More Support on the top navigation bar to access these areas from the dropdown.
Use the search bar to search for how-to articles on all Microsoft products. You can even go to Ask the community on Microsoft’s site and tap into the vast network of Microsoft users on the discussion boards.
You can report Support scams if fraudsters contact you claiming to be from Microsoft.
Use Windows Troubleshooters for Step-by-Step Solutions
Windows includes several built-in troubleshooters that can automatically fix a problem. The troubleshooter is handy because it can solve critical system issues on its own. You cannot turn this off.
Windows also sends diagnostic data to Microsoft servers that analyze and offer fixes under Recommended troubleshooting. You can choose to follow or ignore these recommendations.
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
Alternatively, search for Troubleshoot with Windows Search and select Troubleshoot Settings.
Scroll through the list and select the troubleshooter for your problem.
Search for the Solution Online
A web search is a more common way to get help for Windows 10 problems. Be specific with your search. If you spot an error message or Stop Error codes, use the exact wording to get more accurate results. Try a prefix like [SOLVED] with your search term to filter solutions that have worked.
You might need to identify your laptop model to find the right solution.

«Справка» в операционных системах Windows позволяет получить основную информацию по работе с тем или иным элементом интерфейса/функцией. Однако процесс получения «Справки» в новых версиях ОС получил некоторые нововведения, что вызвало замешательство у многих пользователей.
Как открыть «Справку»
Всего в Windows 10 включено несколько вариантов работы со «Справкой». Один из данных вариантов может потребовать подключения к интернету, чтобы вы смогли получить самые актуальные данные. Офлайн версии «Справки» в привычном понимании в операционной системе нет, зато есть возможность включить в «Параметрах» специальные визуальные подсказки, которые помогут разобраться в работе интерфейса и функционале ОС.
Способ 1: Включение интерактивных подсказок
Это одно из главных нововведений в Windows 10. По умолчанию они выключены, но если их подключить, то вы сможете получать мини-справки по первой наводке на интересующий элемент.
Включение визуальных подсказок происходит таковым образом:
- Изначально вам нужно перейти в настройки системы. Используйте сочетание клавиш Win+I.
- Найдите там пункт «Система».
- В нём вам нужно перейти в подраздел «Уведомления и действия».
- Долистайте список действий до самого конца и найдите там пункт «Получать советы, подсказки и рекомендации при использовании Windows». Под ним нужно передвинуть переключатель на значение «Включить».
После активации данной функции Windows будет автоматически уведомлять вас о различных обновлениях и новых функциях. В последнем случае вам также будут наглядно демонстрироваться все новые возможности и правила их использования. Однако данный способ не подразумевает получение «Справки» в развёрнутом виде, где полностью всё расписано, поэтому он подойдёт не всем пользователям.
Способ 2: Проводник
В этом случае вы будете запрашивать «Справку» с официальных ресурсов Майкрософт через операционную систему. Отчасти это удобно, так как получаемая информация будет всегда актуальна, а если возникнет необходимость можно будет почитать специализированный форум и/или связаться с разработчиками. Однако для всего этого требуется подключение к интернету.
«Справка» вызывается следующим образом:
- Включите «Проводник» Windows.
- Нажмите на небольшую синюю иконку вопросительного знака, которая расположена в верхней правой части под крестом, отвечающим за закрытие окна.
- После нажатия на иконку откроется ваш основной браузер, а в нём загрузится страница с поисковой выдачей Bing (поисковая система от Microsoft). В верхней части будет небольшое окошко с краткой справкой и ссылками на популярные вопросы, которые размещены на официальном сайте Майкрософт и разобраны специалистами.
- Под рамочкой с небольшой справкой будут находиться результаты с поисковой выдачей. Если вы сразу не нашли, что искали, то используйте эти результаты (первые два варианта выдачи) для получения доступа к глобальной «Справке», а также для связи с представителем Майкрософт.
Способ 3: Запрос справки из ОС
Этот вариант чем-то схож со втором способом, однако, чтобы получить «Справку» вам не потребуется подключение к интернету. К тому же в этом случае «Справка» открывается не в браузере, а в специальном окне, где вы также можете перейти на официальный сайт Майкрософт и/или запросить поддержку специалиста.
Получение «Справки» эти способом можно реализовать так:
- На «Панели задач» найдите иконку лупы и нажмите на неё. После нажатия откроется строка поиска по системе.
- Введите туда «Получение справки». Выберите самый первый результат из списка.
- Откроется окно, где в поле нужно вести описание проблемы. Не нужно писать слишком много текста, достаточно краткого описания, например, «Медленно открывается «Проводник»».
- Дальше вас по стандарту попросят выбрать продукт (выбирайте «Windows»).
- Затем ещё нужно выбрать проблему в пункте ниже. Здесь выбирайте свою текущую проблему.
- Откроется небольшая справка с ссылками на несколько статей и форумов на официальном сайте Майкрософт. В нижней части окна вы можете запланировать звонок специалиста и/или задать свой вопрос на форуме. Также там есть ещё «Чат», однако он не всегда работает.
Как видите, вызов «Справки» и получение поддержки в новой версии Windows реализованы немного по-другому, чем в старых версиях, поэтому если вы привыкли к «Справкам» из старых версий ОС и/или у вас частые проблемы с интернетом, то получить помощь от Майкрософт будет проблематично.
If you’re having trouble with Windows 10, you probably want to get answers as quickly as possible so you can get back to work. Fortunately, Microsoft builds a number of support services into its operating system and will even help you via phone or live chat. Here are five ways to get help in Windows 10.
1. Hit the F1 Key
The F1 key is the original means of finding help, similar to dialing 411. Hitting F1 in an app often opens that program’s help menu, but for Windows 10 itself, the button only performs a Bing search in your default browser for «get help in Windows 10, » which you could do yourself.
If clicking F1 doesn’t bring up such assistance, you may need to enable it by holding down the Start button while you press the key. Failing that, some systems require you to disable Function Lock, which is done by clicking the dedicated Fn Lock key.
2. Ask Cortana for Help
If you’d rather talk than type, you can ask Cortana for help understanding basic issues with Windows 10. The digital assistant knows about keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste and can even direct you to videos that answer other questions.
To activate Cortana, click on the microphone in the menu bar or say «Hey Cortana» if you have that option enabled.
3. Ask Microsoft Support for Help
For direct interaction with a Microsoft representative, you can use a dedicated app built into your PC. Click the Start button and scroll to Contact Support, and if you don’t see that, look for Get Help.
Here, you can ask a question or search with keywords to find documentation from Microsoft that will solve your problems.
4. Call or Chat with Microsoft
After searching for an answer in Contact Support or Get Help, you’ll see options for further assistance at the bottom of the window. These options include arranging for Microsoft to call you now, which should include an estimate for how soon an agent will be ready.
If that time isn’t convenient, you can schedule a call for later, picking a time that better fits your schedule. Those who would prefer to type can opt for the live chat option.
5. Use Our comprehensive tutorials
Here at Laptop Mag, we’ve published more than 100 Windows 10 tips and tutorials to help you answer your questions and become a power user. From our guides to understanding Cortana and Edge to tips for performance and productivity, we’ve got everything you need to understand Windows 10.
