Our Vision: Making Technology Accessible to Everyone
Computer Ties was founded with a straightforward vision: to make technology powerful, accessible, and straightforward for everyone. Our journey began when our founder, Bradley Vancalbergh—known simply as Brad—built his first computer at the age of 16.
This pivotal experience ignited a passion that transformed him into a leader in the tech industry. Brad set out to create a company that offers comprehensive technological solutions under one roof, evolving beyond the standard to become a trusted technology partner for individuals and businesses alike.

Need to separate tasks without the clutter? Virtual desktops in Windows let you run different apps in different workspaces. Press Windows Key + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop. You can switch between desktops using Windows Key + Ctrl + Left/Right arrow. This is perfect for organizing work vs. personal projects, or keeping distractions like email separate from deep work. You can even drag windows between desktops in Task View. It’s a simple way to stay focused, especially on smaller screens. Try using one desktop for meetings, one for research, and one for documents. You’ll work faster and feel more organized.

Security matters, especially when you walk away from your computer. Press Windows Key + L to lock your PC immediately and prevent unauthorized access. This is especially helpful in offices or shared workspaces where sensitive data is involved. Locking your screen helps keep client data, login sessions, and internal resources secure. It's faster than clicking through menus and ensures peace of mind. You can even adjust timeout settings to auto-lock after inactivity under Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Using strong passwords or biometric logins enhances this protection further. Don’t leave your workstation vulnerable — build this shortcut into your daily habits.

Ever lost something you copied? Clipboard History is here to help. Press Windows Key + V to view a full history of text, links, and images you’ve copied. Select any item from the list to re-paste it instantly. It’s a lifesaver when you’re working between documents or gathering research. You can pin frequently used items to the top of your clipboard for even faster access. This feature syncs across your Microsoft account if you want it available on multiple devices. No more retyping or hunting for old links! Turn on Clipboard History under Settings > System > Clipboard. Once you start using it, you'll wonder how you lived without it.

Cyberattacks are more common—and more damaging—than ever. That’s why we use AgileBlue , a 24/7 ransomware protection and threat monitoring solution that actively scans for suspicious activity across your entire system.
We combine AgileBlue with managed backups to give you both:
• Early detection and real-time alerts for ransomware or unusual logins
• Daily encrypted backups, stored offsite for disaster recovery
• Recovery plans tested and ready in case something goes wrong
Small businesses and government offices are especially vulnerable due to limited internal IT resources. We help fill that gap with affordable, local support and the same tools used by enterprise-level networks.
