Windows 10: How to find the stopwatch and other functions

The easiest way to the built-in stopwatch of Windows 10 is via the Windows search:

1. Just enter "stopwatch" there.
2. As a result, you get the Windows function "Alarm & Clock". Click on it.
3. In the bar of the tool you will now see various functions, including "Stopwatch".

In addition, there are "Alarm" (alarm clock), "Clock" and "Timer". The latter is expressed a bit strangely, because it simply means a timer with countdown principle. This one is handy for many everyday purposes, such as letting a tea brew or a face mask take effect.
