Windows 11 Tips & Tricks You Should Be Using!

Just purchased a new Laptop for the wife. It has Win 11 already installed. Since she is computer illiterate, now I know how to go about making things a little easier for her. Thanks TG! Happy Holidays!! 👍👍😉😉

@@StickCoach So much negativity in replies lately. I remember when people were kind and helpful. This gentleman was concerned for his wife's abilities to get around Win11, and I feel it was kind of him to find ways to assist her since he is familiar with them, and she is not. We all began from square one at one time.

Great video. Didn't know Windows 11 had so many useful features. On a side note, your comment around 9:05 about all-in-one desktops grabbed my attention. I had one for five years and lots of problems including the touchscreen not working after a couple of years. It finally crashed completely which is why I had to get a new computer with Windows 11.

That default web browser is a real pain in the neck. I also don't like how you can't have everything showing in the taskbar by default. You have to enable them. Other than those two issues I mostly like Windows 11. One thing I don't have issues with is this wonderful video. Please keep up the good work TechGumbo.

I wis they had a option for the taskbar search to be a box or hidden i hope they add that

[@Acecool]

The snapping system is nowhere near close to my zones design. But it is nice they improved it a bit... I don't like that you can't resize the taskbar and you can't move it.. On my top monitor I have a 3 cell tall bar on the top, and on my bottom main monitor I have it on the bottom 2 cells tall... The main monitor has a secondary taskbar so my top non-primary monitor has the primary taskbar so I have a quick overview while in full-screen applications, etc.. and I don't have to alt-tab or minimize the application to view that stuff... Also, I've tried using the bar on the bottom on the top monitor but that caused a ton of bugs while moving apps between monitors, moving the mouse up / down, and more... having them split top and bottom allows for a wider viewing area unobstructed by a break. So being unable to do that in 11 makes it less accessible. Also, getting rid of never combine is REALLY stupid... This is a major accessibility requirement and a lot of apps use similar icons which can make it hard to differentiate them - especially if you have a lot of file explorers open. I absolutely hate you can't reposition the taskbar, and it doesn't seem like you can add quick-launch folders on them anymore... I have 6 or 7 quick launch folders on my primary taskbar which is located on my secondary / non-main monitor by moving the main taskbar off the main monitor after setting the main monitor... They range from game launchers, dev tools, hardware utilities, authentication apps, and more... and I need quick access... The start menu really restricts this and not being able to categorize them makes finding apps much harder and limiting the screen by cutting it in half for a stupid recommended segment which violates privacy ( you can turn that recent files trash off in 10 ) and security which will be a turn off for certain companies. They removed so many features which I rely upon for efficiency and ease of use for a broken neck, back and nerve damage. Having larger buttons for the never combine helps me on top of being able to easily read what something is instead of relying on an icon which may be shared.

[@Acecool]

The volume mixer seems like it is too much... The Windows 10 dialog is a lot more handy and contains a bar for each program and doesn't block a large majority of the desktop..

[@Acecool]

So many people don't use Edge that they wanted to make it more annoying to switch from it, this will probably help boost the numbers albeit a back-alley way to do it...

[@YouAndImpact]

Very helpful video 👍

[@lucky2watch]

Thanks for you videos. They were very helpful to get started with windows 11. ... There is just one issue I don't like in Windows 11. In Windows 11 I could drop a file on an open program on my task bar. It seems in Windows 11 It's not possibly to take a document, move it to an open program and drop it into this program. Now I have to keep holding the file with my mouse and switch with the TAB Key to the program I want to drop the file. I really hope they will change it some when.

[@idaxius_]

You can't do this on Windows 10 either so.....

[@lucky2watch]

@@idaxius_ I can do it. I'm using it. I move my mouse with the file I like to open or edit over the opened app on the task bar. I'm waiting till the app open to full screen and than I drop the file into the program. I know my usage it's different like my main discription, but for me it's like dropping a file into the app by moving it over the task bar. Sorry for confusing

So, here's what I've wanted to ask. I know that we can roll back to Win10 on 10 days after the update, but how many times can we do this? For example, my first time experience with the upgrade doesn't do it justice for me so I decided to go back to Win10. And then a few months later, I've decided to try Win11 again to see if things are better now. But it turns out things are still not up to my standard, can I rollback again as long as I am still on the 10 days grace period? Can I do it again and again from time to time?

[@ME-xy4qh]

Are you saying you would suggest we wait to upgrade? I have the offer popped up on my desktop. I have to decline or accept. I am not sure if I decline if I will get the offer again. I think on an old system when I first changed to win 10 I was offered a few times. I think of think I want to wait.

[@mfrankel8321]

Hi Tech Gumbo, I was interested knowing your overall opinion as to whether to switch now from Windows to Windows 11 or wait a few months while the patches stabilize it?I have seen mixed reviews on the Internet as to this question . I would appreciate you or the TG community weighing in on this topic.

[@noyou6421]

Just upgrade. I’ve been using it since it came out and have had 0 problems ever, as long as you aren’t doing something super technical on the computer, that somehow doesn’t work on windows 11, you should be fine.

This is a breach of monopoly legislation and cartel in the UK Europe. Europe will require in the future any hardware sold to be independent of any operating system. To be clear all hardware will only be legally operational in Europe if its capabable without modification to run five or more independent operating systems and software. The maximum of 39 % of sales in retail can be attributed to any one operating system or closed source eco system. The UK has claimed that due to the cyber war in the Euro area it needs to be in the national security interests to discontinue the use of windows 11 or other similar system on all hardware due to data protection and security legislation. The UK has learned from the Ukrainian war that it must build up defensive capability in a unstable worldwide environment. The UK claims over 300 alternative operating system which negates relience on operating system and harware which is control of third party states,criminal organisations, non friendly powers,or terrorist organisations. The chineese consider a windows eco system to be a national security threat and will be moving to linux by 2026. All hardware built in china will likely be not be compatable with windows after this date. Across Europe windows 11 is the death nail for windows as a company.
