Only at 6 minutes and already inspired to comment and say you're awesome Kevin! Just got a new laptop with Windows 11 and loving the experience even more with your tips. Keep creating more awesome content and thank you!
@Ananya Gurnani To do keyboard shortcuts, you hold down the keys in order. So in this case, win+a means you hold "win" (the windows logo keys) and then while holding "win", press and release the "a" key on your keyboard. Once you press the "a" key, you can stop holding the "win" key. Hope this helps.
Thanks Kevin! I really enjoyed your explanations. One of my favorite features of Windows 11 is that you can connect your smartphone with your laptop. When you press the windows key and type in smartphone, it will appear. If you're in the same Wifi Network, you can connect and see messages, photos and notifications! Awesome 😍😍😍
I have word files identified by numbers: 410, 515-525, 600, etc. Every day I look at these files and the numbers should be separated by commas; instead, the commas are often replaced with ^j ^j, etc. I keep changing that back to commas, but the program stubbornly puts in ^j, ^j...! How do I stop that?
I downloaded a lot of your video tutorials because they are very helpful, useful and effective. Now am using them and I regretted why I have known your channel so late. You're a saviour and a gift. Thank you so much!
You probably don't read your comments but I have to say I have used a number of your videos to quickly understand multiple programs. Yours is a channel I trust to provide me with an in-depth description and conversation about the latest tech. Thanks man.
I can truly relate to the “miserable experience” assisting family members with computer problems over the phone. Thank you for the interesting content 👍😎🇦🇺
This video is truly informative. Your videos are really comprehensive so that we don't need to search for various small things ridiculously on the web. Keep up the good work!
Today l am upgrading my laptop to windows 11... I am so glad about it... love your channel uncle kevin... l am from Sri Lanka🇱🇰... Please put more videos about windows 11❤
Actually all these features are also available in Windows 10 21H1 too but I got much new things to learn in this video, which for sure I will be using from now on on my Windows 10 21H1.
A few are new or improved (short cut keys like Win+A,Win+N,Win+Z,Win+W, dictation with auto punctuation, mouse cursor gets picked up by screen recorders, re-designed emoji picker) and many have existed on previous versions. The common thread is that they're all somewhat hidden and less well known. Cheers!
The windows + v mechanic was something I always wanted but thought, there is no way this is going to be a thing anytime soon but here it is. I'm so happy.
Kevin, Here's a problem I have. I really enjoyed your explanations of the new Windows 11 features but there's one feature from older Windows versions that I can't find and miss a lot. In W10 it was possible to drag and drop a file into another program or app even if it was not visible on the screen. Simply hover the file over the taskbar symbol for the target app and it would open to the surface. Is there a way to do this in W11 or an add on that will accomplish it?
@@DineshKumar-wl2hv Here is what I now do: Using the mouse hover over the maximize feature in the upper right hand corner of the source window. You will be given a number of choices for screen sharing; choose one and then choose the target window for the other. The source and target windows will then both be accessible. Not as good but better than nothing.
in laptop : double tap : double left click single tap with two fingers : right click single tap with three fingers : kind of start menu single tap with four fingers :action center slide 3 fingers sideways : alt + tab slide 3 fingers upward : add or choose new window
@@KevinStratvert ohhh, now I didn’t know it could connect to that. I’ll have to check that out, thanks! I use it all the time at work to copy/paste images when I need only a portion of something or to not use as much memory as a JPG.
@@JosefCreations dumb fix but it works: go to time settings. disable auto timezone. set ur date to 31/10/2021 and save. open snipping tool once. close it. go back to time settings, re-enable automatic timezone. open ur snipping tool again. profit????
WOW! Thanks Kevin for opening my eyes and ears to making my computer an awesome tool instead of an encumbrance. Suggestion... How do I hit the pause button and digest one of your great tips, repeat it till I get it, or save the tip for the future use and then resume your video or perhaps sort out my preference of which tips I would prefer to learn first? Carl Sakofsky
hitting K will pause a YT video. Hitting a left or right arrow fast forwards or rewinds 5 seconds, and hitting J or L will rewind or fast-forward 10 seconds. There is also a transcript available if you hit the ellipses and click "show transcript". Hope that helps
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.
Thanks, Kevin! Another tip I would add is "focus mode" or "focus assist." It was only muting notifications,s and now it is expanded to include the Pomodoro technique, which can be adjusted.
I've had 11 for a pretty long time and didn't know a lot of these. I didn't know them in 10 either. BTW, Win + period as well as Win + semicolon brings up the emojis. I use Win + . a lot.
OMG DUDE, thanks a lot. Especially for the last one. I am tired of explaining my grandfather things on the laptop and btw congrats for hitting 998k, so close to million!
I am my families IT guy my favorite feature is quick assist & steps recorder. Another way too is to use PowerPoint to record the described behavior. Just make sure to turn off the microphone when you start the recording session.
Great one!! Will one in future be able to have different Taskbars and desktop icons for each different desktop? I thought I saw them showing it when they launched Win11?
Not that I'm aware of, although that totally makes sense (e.g. work desktop just has work apps pinned while play desktop has another set of apps pinned).
Steps freaking recorder!!!!!! What the fuggggg!!!! Why has no one made a big deal of this before!!!! Now officially subscriber for life 🥳🥳🥳 You the man 💪💪💪 Thanks for pointing this out wow!
Thank God or ever is out there for you videos. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you last year for computer troubles, I always come back to you for anything PC related. Your a life saver!! Also cant wait what you bring up for more windows 11 tips and or trick in the future.
2:01 Yeah that already existed before Windows 11 and was made to help Task Manager Boot Up without help from the system and helping Task Manager unfreeze if already running and if it's frozen.
W11 content suggestion . . . I have an AIO computer in my kitchen. It´s sitting on the wall and we use it mostly to browse recepies and whatch chefs' videos and follow the cooking process. It worked like a giant tablet (W10 had a "tablet" mode.) With W10 it worked great. Now, I installed W11 and lost that tablet feeling. One key feature is lost, before, with W10, I used to get the onscreen keyboard automatically (same as a smartphone) to enter text. Anyway, it would be great to hear from you on the changes or behavior/features of W11+tablets. Good job Kev
Hey Kevin - Good to see such videos which are not only informative also improves productivity. One feature of W10 I used often to open a new window it Shift + Left Click on the application in taskbar. Which seems have been discontinued now. Do you see a way we can still do it? Please cover it in your up coming video. Cheers
Looks like the only beneficial feature to me was the voice typing feature "Windows + Control H". Adding a second clock too was nice, so I can add my remote work time zone. Other than that, the rest of the features could be figured out by just playing around with all the settings. Thank you for this though.
Great video Kevin ... I have another one for you How many times have you tried to move or delete a file and Windows tells you the file is already in use .... Until now Windows has not had an equivalent to the Linix FUSER (find user) command so that you can close the program that is locking your file .... If you right click a file ... there is now a "What's using this file?"
Right click on the start button and it will give you numerous shortcuts to click on regarding system information such as task manager, device manager, power options, etc.
Only at 6 minutes and already inspired to comment and say you're awesome Kevin! Just got a new laptop with Windows 11 and loving the experience even more with your tips. Keep creating more awesome content and thank you!
For the night light, you can add it to the Action Menu (Win + A) so that you will not go into settings.
Nice tip! I just did it on my PC 😁
Thanks Ray. Just did it.
Thanks Ray..just added👍

Honestly, I'm not here for information on windows, I just like watching him because he amazes me on how clearly he explains the topic.
heck yeah
yeah its so nice

Same Here

How do I stop that?
Quick assist sounds great in theory. I don't know I would allow just anyone to use it though.
I downloaded a lot of your video tutorials because they are very helpful, useful and effective. Now am using them and I regretted why I have known your channel so late.
You're a saviour and a gift. Thank you so much!

I knew most of these features but the windows sandbox and quick assist were totally new to me. And they are so cool.
Fun Fact : Half of these is already in Windows 10
More than half.
most of them are so hidden in win 10 though
All except the new shortcut keys and steps recorder. That's all. I won't be upgrading to Windows 11 unless there are more new features.
@@pianopianist5709 steps recorder is already available in W10 too

From the information that I found the sandbox feature only works with the pro windows edition
Subscribed simply because of the time, effort and clarity that has gone into this. Thank you 🙏🏿 😁
The Windows Sandbox is a feature I didn't know of thank you for the video.

I write a ton of documentation for work. The steps recorder is a game changer for me. Thanks so much. I am mind blown.
Top 5 features and now Hidden features, this is ridiculous! Loved the video. But I expected a cookie above the box. So easy to follow!
