If you have recently upgraded your computer to Windows 11, you might be wondering how you can maximize its new features. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you learn that the operating system features a wide variety of new features, including Snap Groups, Snap Layouts, Virtual desktops, and the Snipping Tool. Here are a few tips to get you started. After reading this article, you'll be able to use Windows 11 like a pro in no time!
Snap Groups
To create a snap group, you must first open two apps, one on the left and another on the right. You can choose any two apps, or create multiple windows of the same app, and then use Windows to remember which apps you used when creating your snap group. You can switch to individual apps by using Alt+Tab, or click on a program's tile icon to change its layout. Windows 11 has added more features for creating snap groups than ever before.
When you create a snap group, you can label it and keep it visible in your task switcher. You can also minimize and access the group at the same time. When creating a snap group, you should name it clearly. The group can remain open when you dock or undock the computer. When you're finished, just click the close button to return to the main task window. Snap groups keep the bottom of the screen clean.
Snap Layouts
To customize Snap Layouts in Windows 11, you should first make sure that you're in Administrator mode or have access to administrative apps. To get started, open the application. Locate the section, and enable it. Then, click the button. This will enable Snap Layouts in Windows 11.
This feature allows you to split your screen into 3 sections, one below the other. To switch between the parts of your screen, you simply need to drag the title bar to the top-left corner. Alternatively, you can drag the title bar to the left-hand corner, which will then snap the two windows together. Once you're in the desired layout, you can Alt-Tab to each open app, and change the zone that each window resides in.
Virtual desktops
With the advent of the virtual desktop in Windows 11, you no longer need to open several applications. Instead, you can easily switch between several virtual desktops from one single screen. These desktops can be renamed to your liking, and you can even move apps from one desktop to another. When you first use virtual desktops in Windows 11, you can simply hover over them to see what is open on them. Right-clicking on a virtual desktop will reveal several options that allow you to move windows between desktops, duplicate your entire desktop, or delete it.
One of the most important features of the virtual desktops in Windows 11 is the ability to switch between them. You can easily switch between them by using keyboard shortcuts or by hovering over their icons in Task View. In addition, you can rename each virtual desktop, giving it a descriptive name. You can also rearrange the order in which virtual desktops appear on your screen. To create several virtual desktops, you can assign each one a different name.
Snipping Tool
The Snipping Tool for Windows 11 is a screenshot capture application that lets you take screen captures with the click of a button. It can be used to capture any part of the screen or the entire screen. To take screenshots on your PC, you can install the application from the Microsoft Store or invoke the tool from the Start menu. The tool offers four options: full screen, windowed, rectangle, and pixel-ruler.
The Snipping Tool for Windows 11 was updating every few years to keep up with the changing design of Windows. It looks to merge the best of the old tool with the modern Snip and Sketch tools. You can take screenshots with the new Snipping Tool and annotate them to your liking. Microsoft Store general manager Giorgio Sardo has released a video that shows off the new features of the Snipping Tool.
Microsoft Teams integration
The latest version of Windows includes an in-built Teams client. You can access all of the features that Teams has to offer, including the chat function and the ability to hold private meetings, without having to log in to Microsoft 365. If you've already used Microsoft Teams for a while, you can start using the integrated client right away in Windows 11. To access the client, simply click the icon on your taskbar. It's available in Windows 11 Home beta.
The new version of Windows comes with a translucent interface and updates to many of its features. The new operating system emphasizes productivity across devices, with changes to the Start menu and app store. Microsoft also announced the direct integration of Android apps into its Windows operating system. You can also see the integration in the Settings app. The new interface will allow you to communicate with team members quickly and naturally. You'll also be able to mute others, and present to a team using Teams.
Start menu revamped
When you first upgrade to Windows 11, the start menu will look completely different. Gone are the big square tiles - now you'll see app icons instead. The 'All apps' icon brings back memories of the old A-to-Z list of all your applications. However, there are ways to get your old Start menu back. These tips should help you regain your old start menu. Here are some of the most popular ways to use the start menu in Windows 11.
The new Start menu icon is no longer surrounded by large, square Live Tiles. Instead, it now looks more like a traditional processor, offering additional options for shortcuts. In order to change the appearance of the Start menu, you can visit the "Personalize" page of the Settings app. From there, you can customize the look of the taskbar and change its orientation to the left or center. You can also change the position of the Start button in the taskbar.
