When you're working on a project as a team, Git is essential. It tracks changes, lets you work in parallel, compare versions, and roll back when needed. Most people use GitHub or other cloud-based platforms. But what if you can't—or don’t want to—store code outside your company? In that case, setting up a local Git server is the way to go. And yes, you can do it on Windows Server. One of the easiest tools for the job is Gitea — it’s lightweight, doesn’t require complicated setup, and runs great on Windows.

Windows can do a lot — but it also comes with a bunch of background processes you didn’t ask for. And if your PC isn’t exactly high-powered, you’ve probably noticed this: things feel sluggish, and Task Manager shows your CPU working overtime, hitting 80–100%… even when you’re not running anything. Often, the culprits are background services that run “by default.” The good news? Some of them can be safely disabled — and your system will feel faster almost instantly.
Every now and then, Windows does something odd — a program is running, but its window seems to have vanished. You might see just a sliver of it, maybe only the bottom edge, but you can’t grab it or click any buttons. This often happens after disconnecting a second monitor or switching from multiple screens to one. No need to restart your computer — there are a few simple tricks to bring the window back into view.
Ever looked for a folder and couldn’t find it, even though you know it should be there? Chances are, it hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just hidden. Windows hides certain files and folders either to protect important system data or simply to keep things looking tidy. The good news: revealing these hidden items is super simple. Just take your time and make sure you know what you’re looking at before making any changes.
