I was SO MAD that they DISABLED the taskbar on top. I had to edit a registry key to re-enable it. WAY less mouse travel with taskbar on top - since window and application menus/controls are also on top.

Great shortcut, especially for Windows 11. Another of note is Alt + PrtScn to capture only the active window you're working in. In Windows 10 this will copy it to your clipboard, so you'll need to paste it into another program to save it; in Windows 11, it'll both copy and save it to the Screenshots folder right away.

New ride due next week :) it should be great once I come to terms with topics like covered here!

For a local sign in for account instead of a MS account, when you install windows tell it you don't have a internet connection and it will setup a local account. Saves you having to sign in and then revert :)

Can you not press alt + F4 anymore during windows 11 installation, when it asks to sign in? It worked for me a couple of times.

Solid guide! Thanks for this!

Your video highlights very good points and these are pretty much a must for Win 10 users transitioning to the 11. One my machine is a workstation and another one is a laptop. So the workstation is on Win 10 Pro as it can't be upgraded to 11(not that I want to anyway) and my laptop had Win 10 and I decided to upgrade to 11 but didn't like as some of the apps couldn't be installed, so I just reset it. Installed Win 11 so I could learn where important settings are hidden. Interesting that System restore was disabled on my laptop after I reset the laptop. Had to enable it to have a proper restore point. As for the widget, I still kept it on but heavily customized and it is showing just a weather in the taskbar.

Brilliant tips....Keep up with the good work !!

Could you find you why my "Windows 11 keeps changing window on its own". Some box just flashes superquickly on my screen and then random window what i used earlier activates (goes away from where i were). And this is nothing to do with new drivers or something childisly easy as that to figure out.

Brilliant vid! Thanks so much 👍🏻

What do you suggest trying for power settings, when I change them and my screen still keeps going inactive after like 30 seconds, even though I've got it set to 30 minutes? Are there any settings somewhere that are overriding this one?

oh wow i learned something from this video! it was the screen snipping thing i was manually screengrabbing or alt screen printing like a sucker for the restore point thing though I would just suggest people do a full disk backup using a program. i use macrium reflect (there is, finally, a jay-z video about this program) for my workflow and it has saved my butt a few times. imagine your entire plex server deciding to lose all customizations randomly. nooooooo Edit: okay it made prt scr show up the snipping thing in the middle of a game. if you're going to do this remember to use alt+prt scr if you need a quick grab

The tips do help but for as long as Gamepass/Forza Horizon/Motorsport allow it I will remain on WIndows 10. Or until MS kills the free update program. Gotta love how they keep trying to hide the Control Panel further and further away from us and we still find it every time. It's amazing that the user analysis of that translates to hide the Control Panel even deeper next Windows for MS. Can one set 11 to limit updates like one could with Windows 10 to some degree (where one set it to using metered connection which stopped most automatic system updates)?

It's from their poor interpretation of their telemetry data that tells them those menu's are the least used menus and so therefore we need to simplify the UI by removing them. But the thing is you only need them seldomly, but when you do... you really don't want to have to dig for eternity trying to find them. If they want to simplify then they should just integrate the god mode menu into a single item in the settings menu and be done.

If you install 'Windows11' on a local account from scratch, without the regular Windows, does this wipe off all the pre-installed programs that come with Windows? I ask cos a lot of vids show the 'Windows Icon pop-up window' after, that only has 'Settings' & one other on that pop-up. Thanks in advance! 👍

I didn’t realize you could map snipping tool to printscr! That’s a game changer for my support workflow! Thanks!

When installing updates on Windows 11 make sure they once you've hit check for updates go to the advanced update options then click "optional updates."

I installed the basic Windows 11 Lite version on a spare computer. Installed in about 2 minutes. I'm not joking. THAT fast. The first time I did it, the screen resolution was stuck on 600x800. NOTHING could change it. I tried everything. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled hoping I might strike lucky. And I did. The resolution now has many options. It's perfect for my monitor. I think Lite is great. Makes the computer run very fast but I never use a browser with my passwords on it. Cheers.

Windows 11 for some reason when I save a file, pic etc to the desktop folder will appear in the folder not not the desktop, seems to be a problem with Windows, as I have seen others with the same issue, any ideas on how to fix this annoyance??

Straight forward guide, Thank You.

Let say I never activated Windows 11 but want everything updated as if it was activated. Is it possible to download windows 11 updates from a browser and get the same results as with an activated version of Windows 11?

Hi mate, I have the same laptop (probably) and after update the fans run in full load at all times (even if temp is steady at 40 some degrees) .... The gaming or custom profiles are not helping at all.... It's driving me nuts.... Any suggestions?

Windows 10 would have been fine. I think the reason most people like Windows 11 is because of the more modern and newer look to the UI, which looks awesome. I do feel like this didn't require a whole new OS. Just a big update to Windows 10.

It’s the fact that it’s starting to take control out of the users hands

how do we get the active apps to be wider in the taskbar so they're a bigger target to click to? it's insane how annoying it is to have to be so accurate to switch to an app with my mouse.

The Onedrive integration in windows 11 caused so much frustration, I briefly considered getting a Mac, after I lengthily considered tracking down Bill Gates and doing to him literally what Windows 11 did to me figuratively.

I used to not have it connected to the internet when I create a use account then it defaults to local account - does this still work ?

Curse the day I installed W11. I have registry issues all over the place. That seems to be related to a Favorites folder where folders migrate to and I have no clue how. But if I suppress the new subfolder in Favorites, the original disappears as well. That is also how I lost my pst files/ folders, and Outlook 2019 does not find them in Documents/Outlook as they migrated to Documents/Favorites/Outlook, and as yet I have no clue how to fix this.

How do you get the small search icon in the taskbar? Mine has the icon and also says "Search" It looks nicer when it's just the icon.

A quick tip is to go through the startup menu and stop a lot of, if all the unnecessary programs from starting. You don't have to uninstall them, but, you can use them later and they aren't always searching for updates every time you boot.

there are difference between set maximum performance from the settings tab or the old power plan menu?

Whats the point of creating a "restore point" when Windows eventually deletes it to make more space for new restore points??.. and yes, you can chose the size of the restore point alocated space but how far do you go with this?...

Thanks for a great video. I’ve just purchased a brand-new Windows 11 pro laptop, and from day one having set it up, it keeps crashing with the blue screen of death. I cannot figure out why it is doing this but would you say, in your experience, that this would necessitate a cloud reinstall of windows? Do you think that would solve the problem? I gather that these blue screens are normally issues with drivers. Many thanks

You can bypass the Create MS Account requirement while initial setting up. Instead of clicking on Personal Use, change the setting to Business Login. This will change the way the account creation is set up. Then "after" everything is set up correctly and you have your account name/settings the way you want them, you can then "link" your MS account (if you so choose to do so) to the Local Account you created. Now your profile won't be your email name, it'll be what ever you wanted it to be from the start.

Now type ipconfig /release in Command Prompt window and press Enter. 3.

I thought restore points updated on their own from time to time. So if you made one called Fresh Restore Point, it would've long been wiped out 6 months down the road. Maybe if you name it, maybe it saves it that way without updating that file, but it makes other restore points instead.
