- Today we are looking at the upcoming update for windows 11 code named Sun Valley 3 and Gallium and officially named 23H2. This is going to be a huge update. It comes with tons of new features and brings back a few features from Windows 10. This update might convince me to update to Windows 11. Its that big.

#Windows11 #23H2 #Tech - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Virtual drives? That's going to be really useful!
Side Note: It's really refreshing with a guy that actually goes through things and reviews them all the while having the bravery and the professionality to change his opinion. It increases your credibility a lot. Kudos!
as a person who got infected by ransomware and lost all my business files, i see this feature as a lifesaver .
you can already create virtual drives in disk management in the computer management mmc. But it's nice they are bringing it into the settings app.
@@poolcoder1337 won't help you if they encrypt the vhd file. You need an off computer backup (cloud, or an unconnected physical disk)
@@techbioReally? I need to check that out as I was totally unaware of this. That's a really good tip, thanks you!
Can someone explain why one would use a virtual hdd on my OS drive, over partitioning the primary drive and assigning it a different drive letter? aside from dynamic sizing. just as the whole vhd can be transferred, i'd think files and folders off a partition could also be as easily backed up or transferred. as for file isolation and protection, wouldn't any malicious modification to the vhd take out the entire drive, especially if BitLocker locked?
Notepad and File Explorer have supported dark mode for a while now. This isn't new in 23H2. Nice to see they're adding dark theme to more apps though. Also, Task Manager has been dark for a while as well.
I was confused at first by this, but if you rewatch you will see he was only talking about Paint being newly dark moded in 23H2
When will they make the file copy dialog dark mode, it really sticks out and blinds me at night.
@@aftertheshowmoviepodcast good point
Probably Summer... of 2042.@@aftertheshowmoviepodcast
@@techbio Yeah, i'm on 22H2 and Paint is also in dark mode so, I dunno..
I love your use of the zoom transition from looking at your monitor into looking at your capture feed directly.
I am SO looking forward to taskbar labels being able to be un hid again. That is the most infuriating thing about 11 to me. I have been using the task bar labels for 30 years and couldn't deal with it so much that I paid for Start All Back just for that purpose! I make money off my computers and need them to actually WORK. My work programs really want to be updated all the time, so sticking with 10 messed them up. Only real reason I went to 11. They are much less buggy on 11.... Buggy as hell, but less so. Your videos have been a great help over the last couple years. Thank you.
Windows has had VHD support as early as Win7. Adding the options in Settings is new as well as mounting via mouse.
Also of note is its not just .rar (pronounced rawr lol) but about a dozen other compression formats being natively supported. I'm sure explorer integration will be worked out by release but then again sometimes MSFT takes 2 years to do the simplest things.
Great vid btw. I like being able to see what's coming w/o having to open VMWare, update, then scouring the OS.
"sometimes MSFT takes 2 years to do the simplest things", there are no simple things in the OS world. Only simple ideas.
Vhd only works with the pro and enterprise editions. This brings it to home
@@timothygibney159 Thanks for the precision. I've been using VHDs for so many years on Windows Pro and Education versions I never realized they weren't available in the Home edition. I was also thinking "What the hell that's been available for 15 years!" ;)
@@timothygibney159 I have the Home Single Language Version of Windows 10 and creating VHD's since I got it in 2018
Your icon is too perfect for this Caption: Man peeing on windows
Been using it myself for a little while. I enjoy it. Dynamic Lighting does work well for me with my Razer Blackwidow Keyboard. I strongly dislike using the additional apps to control the lighting, having it be a part of personalization is a nice touch.
Creating virtual harddrives has been in windows since windows 7 - it's still there - It's in disk management. What has changed is that it's easier to get to it.
I love to see if they bring control panel back like it used to be but also keeping settings
As far as the beta is concerned, it's unchanged. I didn't include that in the video, but I did play with it and it's exactly the same.
It still exists.
CP is still there, but it's neutered a tad ...
@@Fantic156 Seems you know a lot about cp
Windows 12 will be take over the rest of the outdated items from 7 and 10
Features I'd like to see: First, the ability to turn off the "Recommended" section of the Start Menu and regain that space for pinned apps. At the very least, this should be a Group Policy setting for Enterprise and Education deployments. Second, the ability to revert to the classic right-click context menus as they are in Windows 10. As with the first feature request I mentioned, this should be possible via Group Policy for Enterprise and Education deployments at the very least. Lastly, I still prefer 7-Zip for all my archival needs. It's very small, lightweight, and free. It allows you to double-click-to-open files from just about every compressed file type in existence.
You can revert to classic right click, just need a registry edit.
But you shouldn't need to have to do it that way@@Masters-rc9sc
And being able to set the taskbar to small. Even better, being able to resize it to anything like in most Linux desktops.
As a tablet user I'd like to add, on top of everything you mentioned, customizable gestures. The left swipe gesture is now basically useless since it opens widgets which I never use.
Being able to simply uninstall all of the crap would be the most useful, especially those god awful apps from the app store.
I would love to see native support for editing the windows context menu. (Right click menu) There is so much in it that I would like to see just GONE without having to put up with the more options in the condensed view that Windows 11 forces on us!
shift right click or chris titus tech toolbox to restore it by default.
💯 I've gone to the trouble of editing the registry several times recently to remove, add, and edit context menu commands. A native context menu editing tool would be an absolute game-changer
It's so easy to open the registry editor (windows key and letter r and type regedit) and add the key "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve" leave out the quotation marks. This will revert the context menu to that of Windows 10.
Wow ! Best New Features presentation I've ever seen.
Thanks ! :)
RAR is a proprietary format under copyright, along with RAR's compression applications and libraries to Alexander Roshal, brother of Eugene Roshal. RAR files are the native format for WinRAR software and can only be created through this tool which is licensed to win.rar
Same scenario most likely applies to the background pictures displayed by Windows Spotlight. If they're not licensed for full public use, they won't ever be copiable.
Deprecate vs Depreciate ... The right word for dropping support for software is deprecate. Love the updates you bring just a friendly grammar jab :)
I'm a IT Security Professional and one of the biggest complaints i get from my clients is that FDE(Bitlocker) only protects the drive when the computer is shutdown. With this new feature, you can encrypt a virtual drive within the OS and you can lock it so if the computer is left on, no one can access it. This feature is truly amazing and needed badly. I'm glad to see that we will be getting it soon.
Also can be done, including mouse click mounting, with something like veracrypt, which is how I currently manage encrypted volumes
@@techbio VERACRYPT is awesome
Bitlocker does protect the drive via TPM through windows hello. If the user leaves their self logged in while leaving the computer unattended…. We’ll bitlocker isn’t going to help with that.
As for bitlocker not working at all when the computer is on… do you have documentation that supports this or are you just repeating rumors?
Data must be un encrypted for the computer to be able to use the data. When you unlock the laptop through the Bitlocker screen when you first turn on your computer, from that point on, the data is NOT protected. FDE(Full Disk Encryption) can't help you if you leave your computer on and leave it unattended.@@Zinojn
Great video thanks. Chapters would be a great addition to these types of videos.
Love it all features shown. Thanks for video great job. tyty
They don't give you the option to save the background of spotlight because you might decide to keep one image at some point. Spotlight is an advertisement. For instance, countries can pay MS to display their own places for touristic purposes. Keep in mind it could be done extremely easily. The photo is already being saved in some data format as cache.
you can save any desktop background image from
c:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_resolution_.jpg
Great video - I'm still not ready for Windows 11 yet, too many clicks to get to features that used to be one click.
The VHD thing, you can do that in Windows 10 along with BitLocker encrypted drives. Use the Hyper-V manager and you can create VHDs and mount and eject them from Windows explorer.
I love your transparent browser. I never would have thought about that, now you have inspired me!
beautiful, thank you for that updated info :)
My genuine, biggest gripe with W11 is that I have to use third party programs, which often break btw, to re-enable taskbar movement. More specifically, having the option to use my task bar vertically, on either the left or right side of my screen.
@FlyingMonkies325 you may not see or understand why you need to move the taskbar but, if I want the taskbar on the left side of the screen, lets us pretend I have a reason, justification, need, want or not, about my comfort.
This is why I wait for at least 1-2 years before tiptoeing into a new OS.
Thanks for the informative video. Some comments:
Virtual drive support has been in Windows since Windows 10, it was just buried in Disk Management. But it looks like in 23H2 they have made it a little easier to use -- now there's a kind of wizard approach where you answer all the questions and it creates the VHD file, attaches it to your PC, formats the virtual drive, creates a volume, and assigns a drive letter. Under the previous (Win 10) interface, you had to do each of these steps manually. But the feature has definitely been there for a while, including the Bitlocker support. EDIT: I see now that the difference is that it's now in the Home edition whereas it used to only be in Pro and Enterprise. So never mind, I guess, though I do wonder what use the typical home user would have for virtual drives. But making them easier to use is a good thing, regardless.
Any idea if Microsoft has in this version plugged the "holes" that allow Windows 11 to be installed without a Microsoft account? It seems like every time they release an update, they remove all ways people have found to do that, and then people have to figure out a new way around it. It's like the world's most ridiculous arms race. I'd love to know if they're continuing to push this stuff, despite the fact that everyone hates it.
Finally, a question: have they yet restored the ability to turn off the "overflow area" feature for the Notification Area/System Tray/whatever we're calling it this week? You used to be able to tell Windows 10 to "Always Show All Icons in the Notification Area." This is extremely important for me as a person who supports several hundred users. I want to be able to say to them "click on the blue squiggly icon in the lower right" (making that up, but you get the idea) without having to explain that the blue squiggly icon may only appear if they first click the minuscule little arrow that some of my more visually challenged users can't even see. That setting disappeared in Windows 11 -- it still appears in group policy, but it does nothing. Have they listened to the world on this one yet, or are we going to have to wait another year?
Want it
Great video! File explorer update and virtual drive seems useful.
.vhd support was in Windows 7, it was just hidden behind the Disk Management applet in Administrative Tools. Windows 8 expanded on this and allowed you to natively mount .iso's and .vhd's directly from File Explorer and you could also eject these virtual drives as well. 23H2 did nothing more than add already existing functionality to the settings panel.
Was just about to post this. Disk Management / Actions / Create VHD. Come to think of it, the old way is much faster.
VHD was a thing in 2005. . . Way before Windows 7
The old way was much more hidden. It was unpopular as a feature as well
Dam just replied saying same thing
I think it is just made available with the Dev drive feature, which is the actual highlight. I agree creating and using vdhx is supported since years now, but it was kept for people who were using HyperV (Pro/Enterprise versions of Windows) and wsl, never for normal user.
Virtual drives already available on Windows 10 (Pro at least) from recollection.
I used this feature a few years ago and yep it had all the settings available to
create the VD's that were shown in the Windows 11 Beta Update today.
It is there, you just got to know where to look. All the best peeps! Peace
EDIT NOTE: Apologies as I just scrolled down and noticed similar comments.
I've used that on Win 10 to mount ISO files of DVDs/BluRays
From Windows 8.1 virtual drives were already embedded in disk management msc.
In previous versions of windows if you mount a VHD or VHDx drive after the restart it isnt auto mounted. (i used scripts for mounting, the only method).
These feature evolved or not in Windows 11 ??
Windows Spotlight is available on Windows 11 Pro stock as well
@@gamamewXP had it too via third party programs.
Just used an activation from your sponsor - excellent service btw, they were very helpful when I needed to sort out an issue I had inadvertently caused.
Just what I needed. Well done👍
You can create and attach VHD's in the disk management snap-in since at least Windows 7. But that said I will certainly be eager to start using the settings app implementation. Especially mouse click mounting
0:19 When someone says "I like Linux" nobody bats an eye.
But when I say "I like Windows" then everyone loses their minds! - Joker.
Jokes aside, it really shows that in the internet, you aren't allowed to have differing opinions
It's not about shilling, it's all about .... sending a message,
And I just subscribed.........I like the way you explain things.
Great video, thanks! A feature I hope is that MS impliments label tags for files. I have a very large amount os FLACS and Wav files and would like a way to right click on a file and mark it with a tag and have it visual in the file explorer. Right now I use the app "Files" from the MS store, but it is very buggy.
Thanks for this. I'm particularly curious about the virtual drive (VHDs) feature. As for compression formats, 7Zip is a preferred format for me. But it would be good if Windows could support all these most common compression formats. If not, I can just install the 7Zip tool as it supports almost all archive formats.
Why windows should support these formats ? Why you say this ?
I'm pretty sure 23H2 supports 7z and a ton of other formats besides just RAR and ZIP. Should handle anything libarchive does. However I'm not sure if it supports creating archives of those types.
Pretty nice changes. I still highly dislike the new Start menu which is quite limited imo. Also wish right button context menu could be reverted to W10 style. I get the change for some like tablet style device users, but I can't deny it. I love the W10 style much more. Gotta love MS for baking stuff like better file extraction into base system. I really dig the change that it's not mandatory to do program set X installs on every system, like 7zip, vlc etc. Better than MacOS imo out-of-box.
i used a tweak to make the "show more options" the default like older win versions, deffo saves alot of frustration :)
@@AidanMacgregor-Personal Was it called Shift + Right-Click by chance?
I used to do that but you can change it with WinAeroTweaker or StartAllBack@@Mario583a
I like your videos. Could I make a suggestion? I think it would be neat if you could ID "chapters" or "segments" to the video. Hopefully that'd be possible. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work!
I like the in-built virtual drive, and as you demonstrated it with Bitlocker that's a game-changer .. Thanks!! ;)
End task is awesome! Always wondered why that wasnt available in taskbar.
Agreed, great addition. It totally should be on by default.
Dude! Where does you computer think you are? -15F? Brrrrr
You're the first one to notice. I set it to an Arctic research station as a joke. 🤷♂️
Can't wait to see what you do to this version of windows
This was an excellent overview.
When I first installed Windows 11, a couple of hours later I rolled my system back to Windows 10. The reasons are this: couldn't create folders in the Start Menu and Task Manager was missing when right clicking on the Task Bar. It took them a while, but Microsoft has put those features into Windows 11. Currently I'm running Windows 11 Pro and am satisfied with the OS.
Why did you so choose Pro, if you don't mind me asking.
@@franks7968 Because I had a Windows 10 Pro license. I chose the Pro version of Windows 10 because of the option to turn off Windows hardware updates.
@@kel5423 Thanks 👍
Unfortunately for Microsoft, stats for Windows 11 remain stagnant as not many (including businesses) have upgraded to Windows 11 as they are still using Windows 10.
Yes, it has pretty slow adoption.
Personally I'm waiting for Windows 13.7
@@ethimself5064 13.3.7
Businesses only update when support runs out. So in 2025 Windows 11 will skyrocket.
@@GrigRP
They will probably go straight to Windows 12 by then.
Thanks for the update.
Definitely LOTS of cool features. Bring on Win 11 23H2. Thanks 4 sharing. Cheers !!👀👀👀👀
Like you say, it looks like 23H2 doesn't give you the option to save the wallpaper image. But when you right-clicked on the example desktop image, I did notice that one of the menu options in the right-click was to "Search images with Google". But a couple of years ago, Google had to cripple that formerly great search option due to complaints about too many people using it to steal copyrighted images.
Also, the desktop spotlight images are cached in the folder of %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
> that formerly great search option due to complaints about too many people using it to steal copyrighted images.
"steal", if it exists and it can be freely accessed on a webpage, it's free 🏴☠
@@charginginprogresss Actually, no.
I wouldn't hold out hope for MS implementing file opening from within rar, 7zip etc. because depending on the setting used you have to decompress the entire file to extract/open a single file contained within, which is the default setting. It's one of the consequences of a greater compression ratio compared to zip.
I’ve nearly never used the Win file explorer. So unpractical. I’ve been using Total Commander for many years. 3rd party application, free of charge or small fee, double window / source -> destination, zip/unzip, etc. Really user friendly.
The windows 11 AI selected a TH-cam in answer to your question that showed how to set the refresh rate on a monitor. It looks like the TH-cam was made by a private party with the channel name Northern Viking Everyday. This suggests that if you wanted to get wider exposure to your channel through Windows 11 23H2, you could anticipate the videos that AI will search for and create a series of specifically targeted explanatory videos that it would latch onto and suggest to all Windows 11 users.
Nice, I have been on Windows 11 now for about 2 years and its been fine, like windows 10 with missing features. I really like some of the items you talked about, it give me some ideas for the clients I support.
I'm probably wrong, but AI seems to be the lastest buzzword that has no practical use for most people. At least not any time really soon. I realize it will be used quite a bit behind the scenes, but for the individual user, in it's current form, it's just a toy.
You're basically right. It's not real AI. Basically just language models. It's not actually thinking. I did another video on it about a year ago.
Chat GPT is quite useful for a lot of text handling tasks like creating summaries, lists, translations and grammar/spelling corrections. It can write an email for you.
And in some cases it's a superior search engine.
We'll see, but I don't know if it will catch on for most users. It seems like it has some pretty specific use cases, but you have to know what you are doing to be able to take advantage of it. I'm not sure that people will take the time to learn it. The number of people who can't even do a basic google search well is astonishing.@@lars9925
Some really cool features in this one, W11 is getting closer and closer to being tempting to daily drive. Given that you're an ultrawide monitor user though, I'm surprised by how little flak I've heard you give MS for the continued avoidance of arguably the most basic taskbar functionality of all; moving it to the side to free up precious vertical screen space. I get that they really want that MacOS vibe for whatever reason, but their own forums and feedback hub make it pretty clear that this feature isn't quite the edge-case they like to pretend it is.
This. I absolutely hate that I can't use a vertical taskbar anymore. So far I've been using StartAllBack to fix this issue, but I really dislike having to buy a third party program to have such basic functionality.
This. A million times this.
Your channel is my favorite. So interesting and useful. respect from Georgia (country) 👍
Cool video, thanks!
Amazing video, excited to see where win11 is going. But could you potentially make a video or short explaing how to fully disable widgets. I cant uninstall them and i never use them. They are annoying and i cant find what service they are to disable their startup. If anyone has an answer please let me know. And as always great video.
I'll look into it. Maybe make it part of a tips video.
You can turn them off. Maybe that's different from disabling. Personalization, taskbar, then switch off widgets.
CoPilot replaces Cortana
Yes.
The Virtual drive is a great addition, I use it to make multi boot system, windows 10, windows 11 and linux mint so at startup I get the choice to start and run any system what's good is you still have access to all data whatever system you run. I must add that I did it by manually creating the virtual drives(just like this new addon does but manually) and installed the different systems using .iso's with if I remember, either ventoy or rufus following a tutorial.
Thank you for sharing.
Virtual Hard Drive is a big gamechanger. I so appreciate Microsoft for designing explorer to finally let tabs be opened on one window, it's a helpful feature.
I personally don't care much about backing up data on my computer though, but I do back up on my external harddisk drive.
Another upgrade I really like is that now we can have dark theme mode applied to all apps and whatever. I use dark themes for everything.
I feel like if Windows was open source it would be a lot better
Best we can hope for is ReactOS to get up to snuff.
Checks? Man, that took me back a whole bunch of years. Do people still use paper checks? 70 years old here and still building and repairing computers. I've been using WIN 11 for 2 years now as an "Insider." I'm a BETA user of the new AI assistance program and I love it. I no longer have to wade through all the extemporaneous crap that doesn't apply to my questions anymore. It is quite impressive. Windows has come a long way. I'm new to your site and found you by accident while scrolling through some MS questions. I enjoyed your video. Kudos for the great information. Upgrade and enjoy folks.
Cool heads-up, CyberCPU Tech. Oh, you mean "file-explorer"!:)
I got a new laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed last week. It was definitely a shock at first. But I'm getting used to it. I'm learning to use the search to get to things I need. I love having tabs on the file explorer. People don't like change. I get that. I'm not a power user. And I love learning new interfaces. I went through a phase where I was trying Linux distros just to try the interfaces.
I mean it's great people wanna try new things but most people work on system and really don't want to bother with learning something new and getting to know that it wasn't even better then old os.
Having tabs on file explorer (as well as notepad) is by far my favorite feature. I use it ALL the time lol.
James Cameron who made Terminator, warned us about AI but we didn't listen
I agree, I'm a little uneasy about it. I made another video about a year ago on it.
I agree with you on that
Spielberg made a movie on the subject too. But I like AI for coding. Very useful.
By the time SkyNet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms, everywhere. It was software, in cyberspace. There was no system core. It could not be shut down.
There is still hope!
Wow, it is so much more customizable. I like the Windows 10 UI in setting up groups with app icons. Combine with the Windows 11 engine under the hood.
Good presentation on Win OS. Please keep it up. You are clear and easy to follow,
Co-pilot - how do I remove all the bloat and spy ware?
Copilot: Easy - just install Windows 7! The last Windows-Version without bullshit! But unfortunatly it's not supportet anymore. So, I guess you have to switch to Linux to get a clean system! I'm sorry, but I have been build by Microsoft! :-(
Just switched back to 11 after going back to 10 for a bit, and i must say.. It looks real cleaner than 10 does. The rounded corners just seem more comfortable to me and its honestly slowly becoming better and better, I like it so far and will keep trying it out :))
Thanks for the insight and info. I live in linux on a daily but i do have dual boot setup and running so this videos helps keep me up to date.
I am Enjoying your video. The biggest thing I miss in Win 11 that they have not brought back to my knowledge is the ribbon for file explorer. (I'm not a fan of tabs) I miss the "Move to & Copy To" feature. Maybe someday I will swatch to Linux. Anyhow, TY again.
All this coming from someone who has ALWAYS stood against windows 11.
Point being?
Windows 11 is stil totaly horseshit, this updrage does not fix performs proglems any major issues it has already.
Im using w11 for a few months now ..and i dont miss w10 after using it for years...w11 feels faster also im still getting use to it but all new things require time to learn and get used to
@@wikingkrig5801you don’t know what you’re talking about. Windows 11 is significantly faster than Windows 10
@@DanielDuhon i do. It depends if true and which time it got faster if your claim is true.
Show us the facts to your statemtn
windows ai is a no go for me, just more personal data that microsoft gets to sell
Thanks for the preview. Lots of new features to look forward to. There is a rumor that 23H2 will not be available to unsupported systems even with the current by-pass commands.
MS can easily push a scanner anytime they want within any update package to recheck a system, but yes, for a major update like this then I'd expect that scanner to be included as a pre-check.
I wouldn't be that sure. Imo as long as windows server is around, there will always be somewhat easy ways to install windows 11 on an incompatible system. Eg windows server never complains about compatibility. And it already runs on version 23H2
@@onkelfabs6408 Thanks. I didn't know that.
@@ChrisM541 A new feature update has to be accomplished through a new ISO. They are not included in the normal Windows Update.
YAY on the drag & drop new tab to a new window, it has been one of my annoyances as I sometime hit open new tab by mistake then have to close & hit open new window, will be interesting to see this copilot too, rar & zip in explorer is a plus too
Thanks for a great Vid
Thanks for sharing the updates.
24:36
Would also like to know, is the file-tranfer pop-up window (copy, cut transfer rate window) updated to dark mode now?
cos it seems some dialogue windows, and pop-ups are still in light mode whether you are set to dark mode or not, like the Control Panel and some other windows
Never combine taskbar buttons FINALLY. Never should've gone away in the first place, but at least they're rectifying it now.
Thanks for the video...random question for you....I like your desks/workbenches... where did you get them?
Thanks for this vid! What would be the difference between virtual dive and a partition in this case?
With the addition of 'open shell menu' and a few other tweaks, on my laptop, I am happy with windows 11. I'm still on win 7 for my other computers though. They are too well set to tasks to change.
Excellent video: very informative. Question: will we be able to use the virtual hard drive feature to install and run guest operating system, such as Linux? Might it replace the need for Oracle VirtualBox?
Hi. Thank you for all good info. Question: why are desktop icons migrate when multiple screen changes, or when I use remote desktop? So annoying.
Awesome vid as usual. And as for new features - how about the ability to move the Taskbar to any side of the screen?
Should have left the code to do it. Why take something away that many people use. It is needed on the right side for me because of my seating situation and size of the monitor. Again, another feature taken away for no reason.
You can move it anywhere on bottom but not on the sides, which is the same as all OS
13:35 you can save the spotlight image or any desktop background image, is stored inside folder:
c:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_resolution_.jpg
25:00 sidenote , you (as many other reviewers) miss out that some apps, including paint and notepad got a settings menu(right side wheel), where you can change theme and other things.
Pro/Enterprise windows includes hyper V which is virtual machine software solution of MS.
usinbg System image on a separate drive is good too to do a mirror back up of you working drive too
I love that WIndows 11's features have been there the whole time, just having long-term beta on those who know how to access it.
On the other hand, I would love some performance tweaks to the built-in File Explorer. Most of the features that have ALREADY been introduced since the start, like being able to run APK and android apps in a built-in vm natively. I can actually get behind a number of these new features, despite that it also comes with mass telemetry, because I can disable the telemetry.
I like how organized is everything around him :)
I can't see the RGB control settings being something other vendors will change to as many of the major RGB hardware manufacturers love to sell you hubs, controllers and remotes. Maybe the motherboard manufacturers will take advantage of it though as it would mean just another piece of software they could forget about. I did like that Gallery option they have added to explorer however I wonder if they considered fixing the extra large thumbnail view dilema that you experience when using 4k resolution displays. If you are using a 4k resolution display now and change your thumbnail view to extra large in explorer all you get is large thumbnails. Drag that same window to a non-4k display in a multimonitor setup and the thumbnails will automatically change to extra large. So annoying to have a huge monitor with limited thumbnail size, I find myself opening up image folders with XYplorer instead because it allows custom size thumbnails!
When I updated to 23H2 my monitor would lose signal randomly while playing Kingdom Come Deliverance, and the only way to recover would be to manually reboot the pc with power or reset button, so I uninstalled it. I'm not positive that was the issue but it started right after I installed it and it hasn't happened since I uninstalled it. So for now I'm sticking with 22H2.
Great video. I wish windows would make settings panel so much easier and clearer. Win11 settings has gone backwards, it so frustrating when I know what setting I want to change but I can't find it.
Thanks Rich!!!!
Very handy features ❤
Interesting, I had a hope when you showed the ungrouping. However, the one feature I really, really want - the ability to not have my task bar at the bottom!
The day Microsoft changes Win 11 to support Quick Launch and Favorites toolbars (independent of browser bookmarks) on the main taskbar like Win 10 without third-party apps or registry hacks will be the day I'll be truly happy again. I've had the taskbar at the top with left-aligned icons since Win 95 and it's something I refuse to give up.
Good to see M$ putting back settings on the taskbar that worked perfectly fine before... :D :D
Spotlight on Desktop is a thing in 22H2...
And FINALLY Never combine... however, I don't like how it pushes the other not open apps over, I want them to stay on the left, and then 'open windows' collect to the right - like XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 etc all did!
Also, i'm on 22H2, Everything works in Dark mode, including Paint.... so I don't know what you have done with yours :)
Talk about reinventing the wheel, we used have that in windows xp and windows 7.
27:40 VHD's aren't something new...They were already present in Disk Management MMC tool.
What I love the most about this video is the forhead tension. It completely shadows everything else.
@cybercpu you forgot my favorite! The new screen recording function built into Windows snipping tool, also included in the Win + Shift +S shortcut
This is an awesome video,
I like what you do. Could you please do a video on Windows activation keys? Wondering how to find my key in the system as well as purchasing new Windows keys
I would change one thing about the Explorer, both sides needs a little arrow so the user can open and close easily the panel only when needed.
