When the friends upgraded to Windows 11, in addition to some particularly eye-catching new features. There are also small features that are not too prominent and tend to be overlooked, but are very practical. Today I would like to introduce it to you:
Notepad tags
Notepad actually predates Windows, and this simple app lets you open a window for quick note-taking. In Windows 11, due toLabels have been addedYou can now manage and navigate open files in a single window。It's much neater than opening a new Notepad window for each file, and combined with the new dark mode, it modernizes the look and feel of the app.
Widgets
Right now, you can get weather, sports news, and entertainment news, and these cards are gradually increasing, like Xbox Game Pass. If we're lucky, cards available in Windows 11 Preview, such as Messenger, Phone Link, and PC Performance Monitor, will be released to all users.
Screen recording
The previous Windows Snipping Tool could only take screenshots. In Windows 11, screen recording has finally been added, and unlike the Xbox Game Bar recording feature for Windows, you can use it to capture specific parts of your screen. (Note:.)The full Snipping Tool app needs to be opened for screen recordinguseWin+Shift+S keyboard shortcutThe open window doesn'tScreen recording
Clock information
If you need a more precise display of the time in the Windows 11 taskbarNow you canInThe number of seconds added to the display, but you'll need to turn on the seconds display in the taskbar settings, not in the date and time settings.
File Explorer tab
Not only has Microsoft added tags to Notepad, but File Explorer has also upgraded the same feature. Now you can group all explorer windows into tabs in a single container. Just click the "+" button on the top menu bar (or press the CTRL + T keys on your keyboard) and each new tab will appear at the top of the window, just like a web browser.
Quick snapshot bar access
Split screen is one of my favorite features in Windows – the ability to automatically resize and align windows, saving time and making work easier. In Windows 11, not only can you choose more layouts, but you can also access them more quickly. Just hover over the maximize button in the top right corner of any window. A small pop-up menu will appear, showing six different template options. Move the mouse pointer over any grid and your current window will be moved to that location. You can also use Win+Z and select the desired layout number.
Recommendations for energy saving
You can switch your Windows power plan to energy-saving mode when you're not using your PC, but Windows 11 has some specific settings that can help you further reduce power consumption when you're idle. You can be in:"Settings" > "system" > "Power and battery" > "Recommendations for energy saving"to find these options. You can then open one or more recommendations. These stricter settings can also extend the battery life of your laptop.
Virtual desktops
This feature is probably one of the most underrated in Windows. First introduced in Windows 10, virtual desktops allow you to spread active apps and windows across different desktops, making the desktop more tidy. Some friends use virtual desktops to separate work from play (or research from daily tasks), while others separate programs by category or function. Switch between different desktopsIt just needs to be usedWin + Ctrl + Left Right Arrow Keys
clipchamp
Clipchamp makes it easy to handle quick clips, fades in and out, and has a user-friendly interface. Combined with the built-in recording features in Windows (such as Xbox Game Bar or Snipping Tool), it may be possible to meet the daily processing needs.
