🤫 5 Best Hidden Apps on Windows 10

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn about 5 hidden apps that come for free with Windows 10 that you probably didn't know about. Windows 10 includes a dictation tool that allows you to speak to your computer and you'll computer will convert your speech into text. Snip and Sketch allows you to take screenshots on your PC with either a rectangle, freeform, window, or full screen capture. You can then annotate your screenshot with a pen, highlighter, and other tools. The video editor that comes with the Photos app allows you to edit videos without needing to download any other video editing apps. The XBOX Game Bar lets you record your computer or laptop screen and include your microphone. Lastly, the Office app gets you Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint entirely for free.
As a bonus, I include two more hidden apps, including conversions in the calculator app, which allows you to convert currencies, temperatures, and more, and Paint 3D, which allows you to create 3D images.

[@bhargavgaming9449]

Hi, which laptop are u using

[@sheesh69705]

Kevin I'm glad that you are using Windows 10 instaed of Windows 11

[@LeilaGharani]

Great video! Funny we both came up with a similar topic on the same day - different apps though 😊.

[@SavageGothamChess]

Yeah right. I was surprised as well to see your notification.

[@stefanomaronese2063]

Right! I watched both very interesting yours especially the pdf editor free

[@MuhaimenAyyub]

Hahahhahaha... To be honest I was also curious..

[@kennethjeffuy]

Wow I never thought 2 of my favourite RUclips content creators also watch each other's videos. Cool!

[@vishalchandanshiv1155]

Leila .....Happy to see you here . I follow both of you for nice tutorials and happy to see you here. I WILL DEFINITELY LOVE TO SEE SOME VIDEOS AS A COLLABORATION WITH KEVIN AND YOU .....!! I WISH MY WISH COME TRUE SOME DAY. 😁👍

[@johnmaslen]

That tip about the calculator is fantastic. Thank you. Sick of searching internet for converters..

[@pegmolter3542]

Kevin - OUTSTANDING! The "dictator tool," Snip & Sketch, and Paint 3D were my favorites. I know there are "unknown" apps in Windows; it's just that most of us don't have time to explore. You've done that for me, and I appreciate it!

[@nicoleeggleston5702]

wait paint 3D was free on my HD computer

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Thank you Kevin for this super list of really useful hidden apps that's going to make our work easy! Looking forward for more such useful videos! Cheers! 😊👍

[@peterbechard1900]

I am not much of a computer guy and dragged my feet only recently upgrading to Windows 10. Your videos are clear and concise and I really appreciate them. Thanks to your videos I am actually beginning to really appreciate what can be done simply on my computer and help make my life easier. After all isn’t that what they’re supposed to do? Thanks!

[@rebecca4805]

So many great tips! Can't wait to try some of these!! Thank you!

[@karhukivi]

Very useful, thank you Kevin! I couldn't load an old speech recognition app I had and was wondering how to do dictation - now I do, so thanks again!

[@elainesmallbones2775]

Brilliant as ever, Kevin. I learn so much from you.

[@CoolScratcher]

I love how Kevin has his own dictionary of his own phrases and words like "this opens up" and "todaaay" and "within the ___" and "Here now" and "kick off." Super unique

[@veto_real]

OMG ITS U

[@lingo1708]

Thanks, Kevin for this awesome video that shows me the hidden apps that I didn't know about. The Office app and the calculator converter are my two favorites. I'm so appreciative of the work you do and look forward to more videos from your channel.

[@joycestewart6822]

Always helpful tips. Thank you.

[@Dragonorder18]

I did find the snip and sketch tool myself, based on the old tool it replaced. But the Video editor is a very pleasant surprise to learn about. I wanted to have something easy to help someone with for straight forward editing.

[@Annie-io6wc]

I can't get enough of your videos! I've become a guru in the office from knowing all of the hidden things you can do! Thank you!!

[@missabbie7260]

I didn't know about the dictation tool, and also that I can record my screen. It would have been very helpful to me this past online teaching when I wanted to show my students how to do a certain task. :-) Thanks for this info!

[@kikittt]

Yes it actually was helpful...the shortcut of the dictation, the free simple video editor and screen capture were actually still hidden to me....thanks for the vid

[@ronmayo4041]

Yes I learned quite a few things from your video and enjoyed every moment. I had no idea of the amount of conversions that come pre-installed with the windows calculator. I was also wide eyed when learning of the word app.
Thank you for sharing

[@collieclone]

Thanks for these tips, Kevin. I found out that the dictation tool will automatically open up in the language you have chosen for the keyboard. Maybe that would be obvious to other people, but I found that cool!

[@khalidelgazzar]

Concise and to the point. Thanks

[@desertportal353]

Very helpful. Especially the dictation tool for me. Subscribed.

[@jstest9529]

Brilliant video! Didn't know about the dictation tool, the extras with the calculator, video editor or XBOX game bar. Really useful. Thanks Kevin.

[@KevinStratvert]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xzx3]

I been using all of these except the video editor. Going to try that now instead of using my phone to edit. So cool, thanks Kevin.

[@melbingham6694]
