What is a computer skill that you are surprised many people don't know how to do?

Just some of the basics.
  • Some people don't know where to find a free anti virus and firewall.
  • Some people don't know where to get free programs to use.
  • Some people don't know about Extensions.

Win+shift+s to mark an area to screenshot, I use it several times a day in my job and I've seen people instead press print screen and then paste the entire image into paint and then select the area they wanted to screenshot into a new image and then save it etc.

Telling people that WIndows or your system has builtin useful tools that they are not even aware of;P Like Snipping tool for taken images simple and fast :)

Also, people do not get between the 3D chip and Encode Chip in your GPU.

Understanding file/folder organization and knowing that you can search for files. I have people at work ask for help because they don’t know where they saved something.

That's actually pretty interesting, I've never heard of this - I was aware of 3rd party tools which could make it easier but I never knew Windows had anything like this built in.
