"taskbar drag and drop" As someone that was in the beta channel (had my PC set to leave the insider program when the final version of this update came out, which worked just like it should) I was shocked when I got a build with the new system tray and saw they removed the ability to drag and drop the icons to arrange them how you want. I HATED it. Then when they did A/B testing of returning the feature to some (I hate A/B testing) and not others I was so glad to find there was a easy way to enable it if you were in the group that didn't have the feature back yet. What MS was thinking with that one I can't begin to imagine.
It's crazy the discrepancy between how bad windows is with voice control and how well it generates Live captions. Both actions requires "hearing" voice but windows seems to use 2 completely different engines for that
I don't know about the different engine thing but I do think it's worst because of its usage. While captions are one continuous flow of listening and display text, voice control does quite a bit more. It listens, excutes, pauses listening whilst executing and whilst executing it actually has to perform tasks. So whilst both actions do require "hearing", voice control has a lot more to do than captions which hurts its fluidity. Voice control is something extremely tricky to get right.
I think part of it might be because the voice capture for commands has to work slightly differently to the voice capture for a continuous stream of captioning. Having said that it was interpreting some things he was saying completely wrong, .e.g. "snapdeach to rights" (lol).
Voice access bit was hilarious... It created perfect live captions yet misunderstood everything for some reason. Still, this video was useful to me because I opened the clock app on my Windows 10 and saw the Focus sessions feature then and there, which is so darn useful because it can be tied to Microsoft To-Do tasks. Thank you for showcasing that upfront!
I was watching this video on your website but opened it on RU-vid just to comment how much I appreciate this video. It covers exactly the details I want to see and understand. Keep up the great work!
Not sure why they introduced extra features to it in 2019 just to remove it 2 years later, not to mention we were sure a shell redesign was coming since then!
Same, I hope there is an option in the Settings to have seconds in the clock taskbar without digging for third-party customization tools or registry hacks. Too bad, it only works on Windows 10 (v1607+) via registry hack.
Not sure what all the lawyers will be thinking about that feature (applies to Apple's 2022 updates as well) as it can transcribe calls, which is illegal without letting the other person know.
Zac, you forget one of the most useful feature - the folder thumbnail is back!! As someone who works with images all days, this is crucial feature. Thanks MS for listening.
I'm happy! WINDOWS made cursor movement between nonidentical display resolutions easier. It's not how I'd implement it, but it simply wasn't at all working before. You had to position your cursor within the confines of the smaller resolution before you could transfer your cursor onto that display. Now, if my cursor is in out-of-bounds space on the smaller display and I try transferring from the larger to smaller display, the cursor will be able to do so. Basically, it was like hitting a brick wall before if trying to move from a high resolution to low resolution in the out-of-bounds space on the low resolution. This is all reflected in the Display Settings by a new option: "Ease cursor movement between displays."
Thanks good to know this is fixed. Thinking of jumping to windows 11. Do you know if monitor 2 is turned off and turned back on then does all the windows remember their position?
OMG OMG OMG!!!! The best feature ever invented by Microsoft in 2022~~ We will always remember the day that being able to drag a file on taskbar opened apps has been implemented!! Thank you so so much Microsoft! Such innovation!
the voice access part was hilarious. Sad that we don't get Tabs in Explorer and still can't customize the new Taskbar at all. Also why does the Start menu doesn't have two simple dropdown settings: Show Pinned rows: (0/1/2/3/4) and show Recommended rows: (0/1/2/3/4).
If u update to the release preview build, then this feature is turned on. Otherwise, u need to manually turn it on. So far, it's not that much useful as it cannot separate and combine tabs from different explorer windows, which...is so basic for tabs. I sometimes just don't understand how MS is thinking
For all those who may not know. That new windows 11 2022 22H2 update fixed Assassin Creed Valhalla not loading up. It's working now and is playable on windows 11 standard without having to resort to that bogus insider build.
Fantastic video. Covers tons of info in an efficient style. I had gotten so used to doing Windows updates over the decades that I hadn't bothered to learn the new features. Heck, I didn't even know that 22H2 was Windows 11 Version 2. I'm so glad I found your video and watched it. I was actually searching for why my OneDrive wasn't showing up in File Explorer after the update, but after your video, I figured out how to fix that, and learned so much more ! Thanks !!
Having used both Linux and Windows, I found one area Linux really out-did Windows in, was in appearance. There are many desktop environments and distributions of Linux that look absolutely great, probably most notably (for most people), KDE Plasma and I really felt Windows 10 was starting to look its age. Whilst Windows 11 may not have TOTALLY caught up to its Linux based cousins, I think Windows 11 really has come a long way...in quite subtle ways. There still arent many options, but the options there are, really make a difference and feels put together really nicely. Its certainly a BIG improvement in the looks department over 10 IMHO.
I'm very concerned about it in regards to it being enabled while making calls (this applies to Apple's 2022 OS updates as well), because it's illegal to transcribe a phone call without telling the other person.
@@techwithtyler20 still don't know how many people are gonna use it... It's great for movies ig, live captions for voice are definitely a bit concerning for privacy.
Start menu changes are nice, but most of this seems like fluff. There are only two functionality features missing in my mind. One I fixed with a registry edit but give me the full right-click context menu back by default or at least have it be an option that can be enabled. The other is to have an option that shows the seconds with the time. Windows 10 had it where if you click on the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, it would show the calendar, etc., but it would also show the seconds. This was extremely useful and is frustrating that it was gotten rid of. I don't want to have to open a separate app or webpage just to pull up a clock with seconds.
I'd like the Calendar to show your Agenda again. Suspect it was removed as the Calendar is now a widget. But before it showed any calendars you'd added to the Windows Calendar app. The widget only works with Outlook Calendar.
It's already ready for release. You can download it by going to Windows Update on your computer and checking for it there, or you can go to the Windows 11 Download page and use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. The download page says that the current version for download is Windows 11 22H2. I used the assistant, and everything seems to be working fine. Data and personalizations are all still intact.
I’m surprised they didn’t go for something close to the old Xbox voice navigation. Saying “select” instead of “show numbers here” seems way more natural to me
clicked on. Very detailed and to the point, thank you so much for tNice tutorials! I subscribed and I look forward to watcNice tutorialng and learning more about
Wish Microsoft put a option to disable "learn about this photo" on the desktop. I went back to my slideshow photos and downloaded the lasted spotlight photos.
best updates for me in this release: bluetooth menu, modern flyouts, new task manager, and somehow my mic didnt work in 21h1 which now works on 22h2. Still waiting for tabbed file explorer and android apps since those still aren't released in my region.
This is a good demo video of new features in Windows 11, but many people who have tried Windows 11 have experienced less security in exchange for new features that they will not use or need and prefer security and privacy over more features that are less important than security, privacy and user ownership of the software rather than Microsoft ownership of the software and imposing their unauthorized updates, unauthorized changes in settings and hoarding users data and band with, which is why a low-end Linux Chromebook has a faster internet speed performance than a high-end Lenovo Thinkpad X2 Carbon using Windows.
So, when are you going to let us configure it to look the way we actually find useful? What if I don't want Recent files to show AT ALL? What if I want all the notification corner icons to show all the time, and to NEVER hide under the chevron? Why can't I set the GUI to act the way I want it to??
Drag and drop is like the bread n butter of any windows operations. Its ridiculous how they can even think of removing that.I know people who wanted to revert back to winodws 10 so badly jus bcos this feature was missing.......thank you common sense prevailed
Well I did not find it appealing much and I'll stay with 10 for now. Can I hide the volume control? Can I move start bar to the left side of the screen? :)
The latter isn't planned to come back. Meanwhile macOS 13's Settings redesign didn't take the ability to move the dock away, so Apple is probably wishing Microsoft had never gotten rid of it.
I don't see the new OneDrive integration feature [cloud storage information icon] @6:03 on my system :( Also, why can't I favorite or "Pin" my documents in my start menu for its "recommended" files in the same way I can under file explorer?
I forced the 22H2 update & everything was ok,except Hyper V would not turn on,my bluestacks & other emulators were incompatible ,I tried everything to fix it, no luck,I had to go back a build & everything worked again.
after 2 years of nonstop use on multiple devices, i switched back to windows 10. Not as beautiful designed, nor as fluid in transitions, but the snapines of double clicking something and opening instantly, or half the total ram usage, startup times, system stability, actual coolers on the case and cpu not spiking randomly because of random task manager processes etc...
forgot the start menu that doesnt start most of the times, only to start itself 4 seconds later with half of my word typed, after i alread yfound the shortcut on desktop and double ckicked it..
Thank you. This a nice update and useful features. I hope they will bring back taskbar height resizing. I still miss that from W10, I used to have double line for pinned programs on it.
It's funny how Windows 11's speech recognition is still as bad as it was in Windows Vista. I remember playing around with this tool in Vista, trying to do complex things like open Device Manager and disable something, and it already failed by not understanding what "Start menu" means.
Bring back the Calendar to show your Agenda again. Calendar is now a widget but before it showed any calendars you'd added to the Windows Calendar app. The widget only works with Outlook Calendar. Makes the product worse!!
And they improved that agenda feature in 2019 just to remove it in 2021! That seems to be what everyone's doing now--introduce features just to kill them after 2 years. Apple introduced dark mode wallpaper dimming in iOS 13 but remove it in iOS 16, for example.
Nice demo. I still can't believe there is so much fuss over the Start Menu. Do that many people really use it? I mean, how many apps do people really use? I have everything I use often pinned to the taskbar. I press Start and type whatever else I need to run for anything else. I have not used the Start menu in 15 years.
I keep my taskbar to apps that i use everyday. But apps that i occasionally use and development tools stay on the start menu. I honestly didn’t mind new start menu. It did suck having no way to use app folders but at least this update is bringing this feature back.
I always just use the start menu as a app launcher. I just hit the start key, type the first few letters of the app I want and hit enter. Or right click on the start button to open task manager. That's it.
@@techwithtyler20 just like windows 10 is not forever, windows 11 will not be forever either. Maybe next version would not be 12. Whatever, my point is thay I'm afraid we will miss the seconds on the clock for the whole windows 11 lifespan.
@@mullenstudio9342 Not necessarily--it could come back in a future OS version whether that's just another Windows 11 release, Windows 12, or something else.
@@techwithtyler20 I see no sign, feedback submitted but nothing happened, I really lost hope. I don't want to argue with you about which release, I think this is ridiculous debate (why you want to correct me about this?). My point is always about my frustration of missing second everywhere in windows 11.
Every time I installed windows 11 and recently 22H2 version, I couldn't get use to it. I was fan of new updates, from 7 to 10 but this version is somehow not very good to me. I've gone back to the windows 10 3rd time.
1 year and we still don't get explorer tabs or custom snap layouts. The focus app can still not block applications or websites. Light and dark mode can still not be controlled by time. Is this OS developed by a team of 10 people or what are they doing as one of the biggstest companies in the world? And why do I need to log in to shorten a clip with clipchamp? The best thing about this update is that we now can finally use android apps together with professional software that only runs on windows, because android apps work mostly better than every application of windows itself.
@@ThatRandomToast Yes I know but it is not included in H2. It cannot be that hard to implement in a year. Linux has that since a decade and every other OS developed like crazy, only Microsoft is bringing a windows 11 that is actually Windows 10 with as many improvements as downsides.
