I would say the fact that we are expected to participate in other peoples delusions is a bigger indicator of the fall of Western society, but you're not wrong.

Wow! So helpful as I've just bought a brand new PC with windows 11, I never thought I would be glad to go from 7 to 11 but now I'm really happy I've done it. can't thank you enough. Just subscribed...

I wish Windows 11 had an option when hiding the taskbar to get rid of the white line it leaves at the bottom of the screen. It's like a toddler hiding behind the curtains only for their feet to be sticking out at the bottom. It would also be good to get rid of static images if you are using a new OLED monitor or an OLED TV as a media PC.

[@Ferruccio_Guicciardi]

I just switched today from Windows 10 to Windows 11. My motherboard ASUS ROG Maximus XII HERO (Wi-Fi) after upgrading BIOS to firmware 2701. I love the context -menu every time I do a right click, specially when Copying / Moving / Pasting / Renaming file. Very handy. I also love the dark themes for the whole Windows GUI. It is relaxing to my eyes.

[@serzok1]

Pretty cool/useful tips. Thank you.

[@hippocamp]

Thanks ! Nice tips picked a couple up i didnt know ... i like to not use my mouse at all anymore , altho i cant seem t ofind the keyboard shortcut to right click in the empty space in the taskbar.

[@JamesEricGardener]

Just found my own one while watching the Snipping tool if you go to text options has the ability to collect all text form a screenshot and copy it, very useful.

[@neilspiring1498]

Loved the video .I have a question about the backgrounds used in you video. Where can a newbie find such nice backgrounds. next question , how can i make the taskbar smaller ?

[@christinehanley1468]

Very helpful. Since my Windows 10 computer died not so worried about getting Windows 11 after all. Not surprised it's Android friendly.

[@soulaesthete8563]

Thanks for the tips and tricks, TG. I really like the improved start menu in Windows 11, it's more compact without those annoying live tiles. And I also like the improved settings app. However, I can't stand the right-click menu and I prefer the old snipping tool to the new one.

[@DanielFlomo-wf4il]

Great tutorial, thank you!

Yet another excellent & extremely useful video from TG! One to bookmark for later viewing! Thanks! 👍👍👏👏

[@riding_waves]

nice video! question: what's the app you guys use to highlight the mouse on the video? thanks!

[@BrettInTech]

It's called "Mouse pointer highlight". It's available for free on the Microsoft Store.

[@gus473]

Glad you asked, because I also wondered about it! 😎✌️ (Emoji for TGNO! 😉 [Yes, a possible symptom of a decline in civilization. 🐒 Unless it's a step towards universal understanding...? 🤔 🖖🤷])

[@ZillionZillions]

hello and thank you in advance if you can help me. I would like to know how i can save a computer setup so when i log in all the programs i need are saved automatically loaded on the screen/s. What i mean is when my computer at work it is restarted and i have to open 8-12 different program windows to do my work. I would like to know how to save it so when i log in all those program windows are already open and all i need to so is to sign in. Thank you if you can help me out 😀

Very helpful! Thank you for all the tips!😆(sorry-had to leave you with an emoji)

[@lightyagami1769]

windows 11 is the best so far 👌❤

[@martintolley9234]

Disabled Edge as default browser, but get asked anytime I use it - do I want to make it the default? Any way to get rid of that?

[@flaviuswestfall1718]

edge is the best browser tho

[@Aneiox]

​@@flaviuswestfall1718no way bruh

​@DiazFn so tell us why?

I just started to use edge. Eats up less RAM. Not mad about it

[@15bijei]

I noticed that my battery drains faster after upgrading to windows 11. Is there a workaround?

[@maggie5261]

Thank you for this video!! Maybe I will be able to stop cussing at my computer now! Win11 has been challenging but maybe it is my age. 😮

[@ionpeen]

The fact that when windows 11 first came out it took like 10 separate changes to fully change your default browser was criminal

[@abdullahalabdani3578]

thanks

[@PeterFraser-hp3rs]

10:38 Wonder how long it'll take before emojis start appearing in official legal documents, e.g. the text of a subpoena ending in a 🙂, or even a 🤣

awesome nice video coll thanks

[@DJDizziDee]

Any tip on getting the windows explorer ribbon back?

[@muadh6]

8:30 the actual trick is to know you can show the alphabet if you pressed on any letter

[@dvongrad]

I was NOT going to accept Win 11's removal of toolbars from a top screen taskbar that I've had since the turn of the century. Through the use of a third-party utility, I was able to keep a Quick Launch toolbar that uses submenus for Graphics, Development, Productivity, etc. (over 100 apps), and a Favorites toolbar of over 50 websites that does not depend on importing bookmarks if I change my default browser.

[@sajans3998]

6:24 you can SHIFT+RMB to see the full option

[@wolfwarrior1018]

didnt know about half of these and ive been using 11 since testing lol

[@niss2142]

I want to rid my widgets view from displaying the annoying news feeds. Namely the area that displays "Discover Following Watch Play". I can't find a way to do it. In your example you only show the widgets. That's exactly what I want too.

[@kychemclass5850]

I shifted to Linux a few years ago and completely love it, however The eye-candy in Win 11 are beautiful (and I'm not just talking wallpaper)

[@extremelydave]

Use the built in Windoze virtual machines and load in Linux and have the best of both worlds!

[@amateur_football9751]

@@extremelydaveIts not the same, the performance is lower since it has to use resources for both, win 11 is not good and had to return to win 10

[@AmyWinehouse.914]

I did the snipping tool it opened up I used it but when I let go of the cross nothing happens it doesn't give me an option to save nor can I find thepicture i've copied in any file.

[@T-marie-N]

For me, the screenshot goes into the notifications section. Windows key + N opens that. It also saves it into a file, under Pictures, called Screenshots. If you want to mark up the screenshot, click on the result in the Notifcations panel and it'll open so you can make your changes, then click on the save button and save it where you want.

[@extremelydave]

After you let go of the mouse button, go to your favorite graphics program and click on paste and like magic, the clip will appear....

[@ronunderwood5771]

Gadwin has a nice simple free program that is way better than snipping tool. Push the PrtSrn key, or any key you designate and the whole screen is captured and saved to a folder you designate. You can configure some other choices also.

[@ronunderwood5771]

PREVIEW PANE. When are they bringing back Preview Pane aka Thumbnails. Lack of it is the biggest problem I have with 11.

[@jiteshkitadikar7086]

I am not getting windows file explorer tabs. Please help

[@gabrielalamberti5860]

how do I open 2 windows in file explorer? Thx

[@robk7129]

Not possible in File Explorer. Try using Total Commander, you have a left and right panel, source / destination. I’ve been using Total Commander for more than 20 years. It’s great.

[@robbnel140]

How can I reduce the size of the time on opening screen. It is huge and ugly.

[@RaphaelAger]

I don't why windows 11 desktop randomly freezing after change a settings?

[@llicit1833]

One thing I'm always bemused by. Microsoft is heavily used in the corporate world. Yet their screenshot utility has no way of drawing a straight arrow for example. Instead you have to draw something that looks like you are still in kindergarten or something. Very odd

[@Techkomsan]

It looks so interesting Trick & Tips you should try

[@re-ridersuzanne]

I'm really having a problem Installing other programs that I bought. They only want Microsoft Store crap.

[@IdontKnowAtAlllol]

Windows key + c now opens Windows copilot

[@eddiek8179]

Edge is possibly the best browser right now, by the way.

[@amateur_football9751]

"Best" and only had 8% market share and now thanks to the new law, you will be able to un-install Edge completely

[@glennpitts1312]

Today is May 17, 2023 and Dell just reloaded my new PC 2 days ago due to a problem. The switching of browsers in the default app option is Not on this latest version.

[@extremelydave]

I am assuming this video was for windoze 22H2 as it differs from settings I am seeing on 22H1............. I wish I could figure out how to go to 22H2........😒

[@Chamarajanagar]

Everything is ok. But I didn't like you set firefox default. Edge is ultimate and safe.😍

[@checkmate5338]

snipping tool does not open?

[@kencreten7308]

I would like them to fix the OS in general, instead of giving us a dumbed down windows 10

[@franciscohorna5542]

im still on windows 10 dont need win 11 will still continue windows 10 after 2025 as well

[@Randtiktok]

You can't unpin news widget

[@Poifix]

I don't know why I am watching this. I can't even upgrade to Windows 11. Because apparently an i7-7700K CPU is not good enough. Which is just odd.

[@extremelydave]

Does your motherboard have a TPM on it? If not, it isn't gonna work....but I have heard of some people making it work somehow....

[@Poifix]

@@extremelydave yes I have everything else. tpm 2.0, secure boot, 16gig ram. etc. it's just the CPU that is not supported. People who make it work, do it in a non legit way. I'd rather have my CPU be supported at some point. I really don't see why it is not. Since worse i7 cpus already are supported. It's a powerful CPU still, there really is no reason for it to not be supported.

[@mhamad_jaf]

❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕😍😍

[@AliensInc.]

I've been a windows user for many many many years but now NOT. Why? Because I now with this can do ANYTHING and this is not windows, it's Linux. After been 'dual'-using it for about 2 years, I'm now a total Linux user and will NEVER!!!!! go back. I can do ANYTHING with this OS. Give it a try, you might like it. Give us more Linux goodies :P

[@SaiyansX]

Upgraded Windows 11 > Windows 7!

[@LongSchlongMcBong]

Windows 11 throws your privacy out the window, and removes quality of life features making it a direct downgrade from Windows 10. I'm actually thinking about moving to linux this iteration of windows is so bad.

[@amateur_football9751]

I don't like win 11, after 3 months I returned to win 10
