Windows 11 Productivity Secrets No One Told You

[@alvaromartinezmateu2175]

You can use the shorcut windows key + arrows to use the snapping feature faster, and you can use it to minimise individual windows as well.

Great additions! Thanks for sharing

[@JayPatelVlogs]

Hello, I am blown away with no nonsense straight to the point, jam packed video!!! Thanks a lot

[@shane.melaugh]

Thank you! I'm happy to know you found this useful.

[@alanbrito3805]

This video is pretty a summary of what I've learned and implemented in 2 years of constant natural discovering, great video

[@Weird_Quests]

Glad I found your channel - I've made the swap to Windows as a lot of my narrative design work needs windows (game dev plugins for implementing dialogue etc...) and I've struggled to find productivity videos on Windows, rather than MacOS.

[@shane.melaugh]

I recently made the switch the other way around, from Windows to MacOS. It can take a while to get used to things, but if you take the time to learn all the differences with keyboard shortcuts and stuff, you'll be efficient in no time. 👍

The center align in windows 11 is good, but I wish we could put only the start button to the left, amd leave the rest of the taskbar in the center. Nice video by the way

[@seireiart]

Thank you so much for the tips. After watching the video, I found out that I did almost 95% of them already on Windows 10.

[@shane.melaugh]

Nice work!

[@PyroBlank]

One thing I tell everyone, WINDOWS E WINDOWS E WINDOWS E I have seen so many people typing "My Computer" in the start menu thousands of times a day amazing video for new users

[@shane.melaugh]

Nice one! Thanks for adding this tip. :)

[@deepajain8347]

Wow so much work to just use my computer fastly and properly,good job microsoft

[@leandro_80]

Nice tips. Without any bull**** or beautiful apps that you'll never use

[@shane.melaugh]

That's the idea. 😁 Thanks for the comment.

[@toanao1894]

Thank; i m planning to rebuild my working system; this video really a good tutorial to begin with❤❤❤

[@ksumar]

Just one question I've had the option to upgrade to W11. Does the task bar permit a right 👉 click on say Word, Excel to display the recently used files 📂 and to pin 📍 your frequently used files! Someone said this has been removed. Could someone please verify.

[@malcolmalexander5246]

Nice job. A way to make windows 11 more friendly.

[@shane.melaugh]

glad you enjoyed this!

[@shareshmahabier592]

Damn good Video

[@Cacchioli]

Guess I have been doing a pretty good job on the Shane-o-meter. I could declutter the toolbar a bit more I guess, and remove the other icons and stuff, but it never distracts me anyway! I like using Alt-F4 to close application windows quickly.

[@shane.melaugh]

Good tip, thanks for sharing! Always good to add another keyboard shortcut to the arsenal. :)

[@Cacchioli]

@@shane.melaugh yes, when pasting text use CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste plain text without formatting which saves you from removing the existing formatting that carries over from the original, CTRL+Z to undo (useful when you just CTRL+V)

[@Cacchioli]

Not forgetting CTRL+SHIFT+Z to undo your undo - or redo

[@Cacchioli]

When you're using an internet browser there's also CTRL+1, CTRL+2, CTRL+3 and so on up 9 which lets you switch between the browser tabs. This only works up to 9 but it's good not to have 50 tabs open, right?

[@Nad-A123]

Thanks Shane, Usually boils down to focus

[@Always_ready_for_security]

Amazing video buddy 👏🏻

[@shane.melaugh]

Glad you enjoyed

These are the productivity tips that I needed to hear! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser

[@hazellau5103]

Thanks for the tip of shifting the taskbar to left! I was annoyed with the change actually.

[@shane.melaugh]

was a weird design decision for sure.

[@TheRogueMonk]

can you tell me why the pinned apps and windows get trapped and they wont come out when ipress their link?

[@lseeber01]

For some reason, I can watch any other youtube vid I want. Yours will not play.. just keep getting that spinning circle. My connections fine, my laptop is 2 days old, running like a top and all other vids work. hmmm.

[@shane.melaugh]

I had the same on a video I was trying to watch yesterday. I could watch any other video, but not that specific one. I think this is some KZbin bug at the moment. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

[@James-no2oc]

KeePassXC is also a good open source password manager but it doesn't have cloud support.

[@nikyabodigital]

I feel like this guy and me have so many similarities. We hide useless windows feature and we use firefox. And most of all we use keyboard alot to navigate on Windows.

[@raptorswire3128]

typing the name of a app we want to open is still slower than pressing Windows button and just clicking on a conveniently placed tile. Why would I go typing??

[@shane.melaugh]

You must either be very slow at typing (fix it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXabf4x7d6iAkKM) or have Korean e-sports levels of mouse speed and leave burn marks on your mousepad every time you open an app.

[@PareshBharambe]

Password managers unnecessarily take up ram, they are bad for low end machines, Browesers theselves offer good password managers, I used lastpass before, it was very annoying and sometimes buggy, I imported all passwords in chrome. With a google account, you can sync passwords on any PC for free and more securely, recently lastpass was hacked

[@Leinsterbaby]

Don’t need ma browser? Which browser then?

[@faizan3695]

I'm updating my laptop from windows 10 to Windows 11. 😂😂

[@user-js5ly2wx4l]

I've just discovered microsoft powertoys which has boosted my productivity three fold.

[@leonardoclark]

Win+V

[@mohamadstevecrockett]

Windows has the monopoly of the work desktop. Linux is for those who want to tinker with the innards of Mint etc. Me? I wanna be productive and not complain that buttons have changed. I will just suck it up, learn new ways to do things and be productive. I am saying this after a long and faultless install of W11. Better than the old days when it was 24 floppies just for Word. It will all pass within a few weeks after installation - it always does!

[@kborak]

Still looks slow compared to i3 on arch. Sorry, you poor windows users have no idea what fast is.

[@shane.melaugh]

that awkward moment when you feel superior to "those windows users": kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn-8ZqyoeLl9fKc ;)

[@kborak]

@@shane.melaugh You really aren't trying to say that a nerfed and chained up version of Unix is faster than terminal apps in a completely custom linux install? Ill just keep laughing.

[@kborak]

@@shane.melaugh And just for edification, I started my computing journey with Macs. Moved to Windows, then fell in love with Linux. I have been there for the past 40 years of this. Windows 11 is a shiteshow. Mac OS is so far from its origins that its painful to see someone shill for the brand. Apple and MS have both done nothing over the years but take away your ability to do as YOU wish with your hardware. And Apple's current moves do not negate that.

[@kborak]

@Linden Reaper I do love Proton! The move from my fx8350 to my 1600x is what got me to jump to start daily driving linux. I wanted to keep Win7 as well.
