 +===== Starting your computer faster =====
 +
 +  * If your computer has been configured at LSCE, it will always try to connect to the LSCE wired network to check if your password has changed, when you type your password on the login screen.\\ \\ **If you are not on the LSCE wired network** (e.g when you use the //eduroam// or //ORME ACCES// (aka //guest//) WiFi or when you are outside LSCE), there will be a 1-2 minutes delay until Windows is sure that it can't connect to the LSCE password server before starting the session... Windows is not slow, this is just an **annoying connection timeout delay**.\\ \\ The **easy workaround** is just to temporarily interrupt the network, type your password, and then restart the network
 +    * laptop + WiFi: you just have to activate the **airplane mode**, type your password, and leave the airplane mode
 +      * **Activating airplane mode** from the login screen: look for //Lock screen// in [[https://​www.windowscentral.com/​how-enable-or-disable-airplane-mode-windows-10|How to enable or disable Airplane mode on Windows 10]]
 +      * **Turning off airplane mode** from an active session: [[https://​support.microsoft.com/​en-us/​windows/​turn-airplane-mode-on-or-off-f2c2e0a1-706f-ff26-c4b2-4a37f9796df1|Turn airplane mode on or off]]
 +    * Desktop or laptop connected to an ethernet cable outside LSCE: in this rare case, just be patient, or temporarily unplug the network cable
 +
 +  * When you (re)start your computer, you have to wait for Windows to start, launch your applications,​ type your passwords, etc... Fortunately,​ you can also **restart from the exact same state when you stopped using the computer**, by [[other:​win10config#​checking_power_settings_and_activating_hibernation|using the hibernation mode]] (aka //Mise en veille prolongée//​).
 +    * Your computer will **not** use the battery when it is hibernating
 +    * All network connections will of course be brutally closed when your computer enters hibernation,​ so it is better to cleanly close the remote applications (text editors, etc...) and terminals before hibernation
 +
 +===== Laptop: touchpad settings =====
 +
 +There are many actions that you can perform with a touchpad, instead of using a 2-3 buttons mouse, including simulating a right-click and middle-click
 +
 +Be sure to:
 +  * at least read the [[https://​support.microsoft.com/​en-us/​windows/​touch-gestures-for-windows-a9d28305-4818-a5df-4e2b-e5590f850741|Touchpad gestures for Windows]] page
 +  * check and configure/​improve the default Settings: ''​Start''​ => ''​Settings''​ => ''​Devices''​ => ''​Touchpad''​
 +    * this is The Place where you can specify that tapping the touchpad with 3 fingers will simulate clicking on the middle button of a mouse
 +
 +===== Laptop and WiFi =====
 +
 +==== LSCE guest network ====
 +
 +This is the network your guests can use when they visit LSCE, but this is also a way for **you** to get WiFi access at LSCE when //eduroam// is not configured yet. Do not forget that you will need to download a configuration package before you can use eduroam
 +
 +[[https://​intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/​informatique/​en/​wifi/​index.php|guest network configuration]]
 +
 +==== eduroam network ====
 +
 +This is the most convenient way to use WiFi at LSCE, and when you travel to other research labs (including foreign labs)
 +
 +Do not forget to take care of the [[https://​intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/​informatique/​en/​wifi/​eduroam.php|eduroam network configuration]] when you are at LSCE and when you can easily make sure that eduroam is working correctly!

 +===== Using the VPN =====
 +
 +A correct VPN (Virtual Private Network) configuration will allow you to access CEA resources from outside, and LSCE resources (e.g. disk servers, jupyterhub) as if your computer was physically connected to the LSCE network
