On Windows 8, Administrative Tools (Event Viewer, Performance Monitor, Computer Management, Services, Task Scheduler, etc.) are not displayed by default in the new Start Screen. If you are tech-savvy, you may use these tools quite often. Well, then, here I am going to show you a quick way to display these tools. Follow these 2 easy steps to display Administrative Tools on the Start Screen:
-
Use the Windows key+ C shortcut to bring the Charms Bar.
-
Click on Settings.
-
From the Start menu, click on Settings.
-
Swipe to Yes on the Show administrative tools option.
That’s all there is to it. Now go back to the Windows 8 Start Screen and all Administrative Tools should be listed.
