Imao. You are using Microsoft Windows so you are expected to use the MS services as well. At least Microsoft should respect people's default browser. Currently, they don't.
Hi Kevin - love your videos. For this one, I'm a very basic user/writer so I don't use a whole lot, but I love the dictation feature, with the added punctuation. That was my favorite!
I wish that a new desktop meant that files could be placed there and they not show up on the other desktops. So, what I mean is, a "Work desktop" could have icons that are only seen there and not on the other desktops. For me, I do have a lot of icons on my desktop, and it would help in organizing them. Also, when I am using my CPU for leisure I wouldn't have to look at work icons and be reminded of work activities. Lol! Always great and infirmities videos Kevin.
@@mrankin2825 LOL! Yes, I know that, and some are. My point was, it would be nice to customize and have a clean desktop with whatever icons/apps you want. To have a desktop completely separate for each area of your life.
Things...I learnt from this video, That Dictation tool with punctuation marks👌, and That window key + ; key combination to open the emojis section🤯...Both were so helpful in my daily work, Kevin, I wanna hug you man ❤️❤️
1. Dictation - It's a gimmick at best which will be used just a couple of times after a fresh install and then forgotten. It's also not very useful for languages other than English. 2. Multiple desktops - This feature is present in Windows 10 as well. You can also rename desktops in Windows 10. The only difference is the ability to choose different wallpapers for different desktops. 3. Window snapping - Most monitors are shipping with this software and it has been available in Windows 10 (PowerToys) for years. 4. Widgets - Good idea on paper, but widgets on operating systems died 10 years ago for a reason. It's a terrible user experience which promotes clutter and bundling of unrelated information. 5. Secret start menu - It's not a secret at all, it's a standard right-click menu of a start icon. It's also present in Windows 10. So, what exactly is awesome here?
I miss vista's widgets which just hung out on your desktop background. Kool looking clocks, calenders, music players, etc.. :( bring back those Windows!
Nice Video Bro. I have just upgraded to Windows 11. More and more Android and Apple Apps will become available for Windows 11. So why would You stick with Windows 10? Security is better. All my Windows 10 Applications work just fine in Windows 11. So far, I love it. Snapping is indeed very helpfull. Ok, I know, You can not change the position of the taskbar, like in Windows 10. There's a work around to make this happen, but not recommended by Microsoft.
After so many years using windows I found out the snipping tools, if I had to copy part of the screen, I used to do screen print open on paint, then crop and save. With the snipping tool, I can crop and save part of anything without graphic software.
Allowing different desktops to be shown on separate monitors would be great for apps that don't allow multiple instances. Show on all desktops and then move one desktop to display on another monitor is exactly what I need. Sigh.
QUESTION: first, I like the desktops and snapping customization. Once you place your desktops, applications in their snaps locations as we like them.... Q: HOW can you SAVE those applications, desktop settings and configuration so you can startup this way.. Seems every morning I will have to open apps and put them into all their individual places. I would love to see Windows Desktops provide configuration control to build desktops for productivity based on different projects and save them to startup.. If that is possible, I don't know how yet. Q: How can you save the desktop configuration setup preferences.
Great videos, but some of us need more simplicity and less distractions to function well. I am quietly going insane as I spend more time trying to keep up with changes than I do actually getting anything done that "I" (with a capital "I") want to get done. There need to be flavors of windows, or profiles, such as to help attention deficit, dyslexic, older, or other types of learners. As I get older, I am acutely aware of how much time even adding extra clicks is to get something done. Programs are now growing to either suit their own business model or demands of the young for "constant new and different". In a context where the software no longer serves me, but aims to deliver ads in moving pictures, I am, quite literally going slowly insane, feeling irrelevant, and unable to be creative, only reactive. I wish SOMEONE would address this issue.
I just had a birthday and saved enough money to buy my self a pc! I have an older brother who is super interested in computers so yeah I’m literally on cloud 9 rn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m 11 btw :) my bday is oct 22
I really hope they explore widgets a lot more again, like the possibility to put it in the desktop and MAINLY custom widgets (like Google Feed, TH-cam, Steam and so on...) I mean, Microsoft news is TERRIBLE, it never shows me news that would interest me.
So Kevin I've seen some vids about all the requirements your PC needs in order to upgrade. Can you please explain? Will most of us have to buy new PC to install windows 11. Thanks love your vids
Hello Kevin: You have a wonderful way of doing a presentation. I just got on Win 11, and still cannot understand what a different Desktop layout is for. Can you clarify more? Thank you.
I don't know if it's just mine win 11 but the widgets menu is too small and widgets on the right side are cut in half. Is it fixible or is it just because it's a preview version?
An added feature they should add to that secret menu is security and privacy so you can stop Microsoft from spying on you and collect your personal data
Dude after 1 week of this start bar in the centre im starting to consider getting the old corner start bar back. Why does my whole TH-cam video or Facebook feed need to be completely blocked just because I wanted to bring up a quick app from start menu such as calculator or paint. Bottom left corner was waaaaay less intrusive of my screen
Again liked ur win 11 updates/ secret start is also on win 10... I love ur microsoft updates boss... U hv explored so much n really thank u for enlightening us with new updates 👍
Let's say you have 7 virtual desktops open. Instead of doing WINDOWS KEY-CTRL-LEFT ARROW or WINDOWS KEY-CTRL-RIGHT ARROW how about WINDOWS KEY-CTRL-1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 to jump to your desired virtual desktop that you have open? In addition we would do WINDOWS KEY-CTRL-F (FOR THE 1ST VIRTUAL WINDOW) and do WINDOWS KEY-CTRL-L (FOR THE LAST VIRTUAL WINDOWS). All this to jump around quicker.
Kevin can you please put a video on the photo editor Gimp because that will be helpful for people who is looking for the best free alternative for Adobe Photoshop.
Hi Kevin, can you make video on how to add foreign language subtitles in TH-cam videos. Like English video with Chinese subtitle , English video with German subtitle, Chinese video with German subtitle ... Thanks
Probably Kevin's last video before we touch 800K! Another better title for this video, "5 Awesome Thumbnails only Kevin can Create". And you need to promise me to give me a cookie, I can't stop seeing the cookie, can I get one for free please!
thanks for showing secret windows because my search bar wont work so i can use that instead also please help me fix that because i watch 13tutorials and they all dont work😰😢😢😢
I updated mine last night to windows 11 and it just finished today 😊 I love the fresh look and I'm excited to learn about the new features ❤ so far I don't have any issues, so this is good
thanks for the lesson. anyone can buy a computer but we cant use it! they usually sit at that point. its about time this old man learns how to use windows
Just got a new Gaming PC. It took couple hours to download all updates and Windows 11 to it. Had to come here and watch some of the best features of it. Thanks!!
Congratulations on 800K subscribers, Kevin!!! It's been an amazing journey so far. Hope you grow faster after this incredible milestone to reach 1 million.
@@BrianBurke06 Many of my friends have downloaded it and shared with me some of the features. The new features were really awesome. So I would suggest you to download it 🙂
OMG! Congratulations on 800K Subs. Getting so close to a million. Well deserved Milestone to such a great man. You hitting 800K actually made my day.
Isn’t that awesome?!!! “today” (in Kevin’s voice 😉) 7/14/2021 he is at 826k ♥️♥️👏🏽🙏🏽

The most awesome feature that I want is the option to not using Bing.
You are Right

At least Microsoft should respect people's default browser. Currently, they don't.
@@fanseychaeng search engine*
@@jaishreeram8045 Yea
Nothing is wrong with Bing. Even duck duck go
The best part is u dont waste viewers time n jump to topic and hv kept it short n simple ...any one can understand 👏👏👏👏👏
The 2nd function can be done in windows 10. To do that, we have to just press windows key + Tab key
But you can't customize those desktops
Soon 800K kevin!! Congo..
Congratulations on 800k sub. And I thank you for your tips
I like the multiple desktops desk option, now you no need to change your PC wallpapers the day before your presentation
Bro the fancy zones!!! Why is this first time im hearing this😍😍😍
Hi Kevin - love your videos. For this one, I'm a very basic user/writer so I don't use a whole lot, but I love the dictation feature, with the added punctuation. That was my favorite!

installing Win11 now... will come back if any suggestions. Thanks for your video !
Man you're awesome!! Thanks for all the info!
Can you do a video on battery life on laptops and if the battery life gets drained alot or not
Thanks for these information! You are very helpful!!!
The best feature is virtual desktops. Something Unix Solaris had already in the mid of 90s.
Thank you so much for this.

0:39 - FYI the Windows shortcut was updated to Windows Key + CTRL S
Hey you he made a video explaining how to download windows 11 and Thanks to him because now I have windows 11
Kevin - super-random question here but what type of screen recording software do you use for your vids?
Very nice vid 🔥
If they added a widget where we could have 6-8 customizable macro keys on your screen to Windows 11, I'd upgrade my personal PC in a heartbeat!

Nice fetures but i rolled back to 10 because of folder thumbnails.
I just got w11. Its suck a clean ui. It has its disadvantages but also advantages!
I’m just here for your robot voice, content is appreciated just not necessary 😀😅😂
multiple desktops were always a feature! you just wanted a longer list
Hello Kevin: You have a wonderful way of doing a presentation. I just got on Win 11, and still cannot understand what a different Desktop layout is for. Can you clarify more? Thank you.
First awesome feature that you should use right away... Fedora 34.
It's cool and all but can we go to safe mode on startup?
Nice
Tool bars are not visible when you right click on taskbar in windows 11? Did they remove?
is there a way to remove the widgets and also the desktops on the taskbar?
@kevinstratvert How were you able to syc your outlook calendat to the calendar widget. I'm having trouble with it.
I don't know if it's just mine win 11 but the widgets menu is too small and widgets on the right side are cut in half. Is it fixible or is it just because it's a preview version?
Sadly the hover over the maximize square only seems to work in Chrome and Edge, I got nothing in Firefox.
Just got Windows 11 on my W541 today.
New Dell comp with Windows 11 but the widgets don't open menu feature. How to make it work?
As a convinced Windows user, I have to say that widgets are hardly useful and must therefore be hidden in the settings
"I'll choose Robot because that's what my voice sounds like." 😂

yeah
he wasn't kidding
@@petratrading2741 yeah fo sure
as soon as he said that I scrolled to the coments to see if any one wrote that and thats the first comment LOL
I like the snapping features. It might just make it way easier to arrange several items in a more orderly fashion than we can now.
An added feature they should add to that secret menu is security and privacy so you can stop Microsoft from spying on you and collect your personal data
The thumbnail, the video, the features!?! All epic! Really exciting vid Kevin :)
I would love to see the start button in the centre of taskbar among all apps, would look more elegant that way
But would it be functional, tho?
@@totoshampoin why not, a central position would also be more natural and convenient for touch devices
Personally I prefer it in the lower left corner due to the shape of the monitor but I understand where you're coming from.

Same, just installed it on a unsupported PC, feeling fucking awesome

Kevin, does Windows 11 have any default screen recorder (with good features) like macOS has 'command + shift + 5' ? Any plan to make a video on this?
WinKey + G
I didn't find any of these features awesome. None of them make instaliing windows 11 compelling.
I like watching the STIFFLER meister lessons :D
thanks for the lesson. anyone can buy a computer but we cant use it! they usually sit at that point. its about time this old man learns how to use windows

dont your channel follow community guidelines
how many videos you will make on same content
I am not entirely sure why I have upgraded to windows 11 now lol
