[mai mult...]How Windows 11’s New “Quick Settings” Menu Works
When using your PC, you’ll sometimes need to quickly change a setting, but you probably don’t want to dig through menus or the full Windows Settings app to change them. In that case, Quick Settings in Windows 11 is exactly what you need. We loaded up Windows 11 Insider Preview to take an early look.
To access the Quick Settings menu in Windows 11, all you need to do is click a set of status icons (Wi-Fi, speaker, and battery in our example) in the lower-right corner of the screen. It’s located just to the left of the date and time in the taskbar. Or, you can press Windows+A on the keyboard (which is the Action Center shortcut in Windows 10).
Once you click it, a small menu with rounded corners will pop up instantly. It includes buttons that let you quickly connect or disconnect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a button for Airplane mode, Battery Saver, Focus Assist, Accessibility, and Night Light (which changes the color temperature of the screen) by default.
There’s also a volume slider and a screen brightness slider, a small battery charge indicator (on applicable devices), and a quick link to Windows Settings (a small gear).
For menu items like Accessibility that have secondary options, if you click their main button, the Quick Settings menu will change to include the new options. A back button in the upper-left corner will take you back to the regular Quick Settings display.
To change the contents of the Quick Settings menu, you click a small pencil icon in the lower-right corner of the menu itself.
After you click the pencil icon, the icons in the menu will turn gray, and you can remove elements from the menu by clicking small “unpin” icons (that look like a crossed-out pushpin).
You can also click an “Add” button to add new Quick Settings controls from a pop-up list. At the moment, these include “Connect,” (which controls streaming to Miracast devices) “Keyboard Layout,” “Mobile Hotspot,” “Nearby Sharing,” “Project,” and “Rotation Lock.”
If you add all of them, the Quick Settings menu will expand vertically to fit the new buttons.
To close the Quick Settings menu, you click outside of the menu area on the screen or press Escape. Toggling the menu by clicking the Quick Settings button area in the taskbar doesn’t work consistently, but this might be a bug in the Windows 11 Insider Preview we’re using here. Still, things look good so far, and Quick Settings will likely continue to improve over time as Windows 11 gets closer to its eventual release.

To use FaceTime on Android, you’ll need a supported browser (such as Google Chrome) and a friend or family member with an iOS, iPadOS, or macOS device. iPhone and iPad users running iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or higher can open the FaceTime app and select “Create Link.”
And then they can share the link with you however they want.
On Mac, as long as they’re running macOS 12 Monterey or newer, they can find find the “Create Link” button at the top of the FaceTime app.
Next, they can share the FaceTime link with you using any messaging platform.
This is where Android devices enter the situation. You will receive a link to facetime.apple.com that looks something like this:
Open the link in Google Chrome on your Android phone or tablet. At the time of writing in July 2021, Chrome is the only supported Android browser. Enter your name in the box and tap “Continue.”
Next, select “Join” from the floating toolbar at the top.
The person with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac that sent you the link will need to accept your request to join. Once you’re in, you’ll have the typical video conference controls at the top of the screen. These include making the video full-screen, muting your microphone, showing or hiding your video, flipping the camera, and more.
Now you’re in a basic version of a FaceTime call on your Android device! When you’re done, simply tap the screen to bring up the toolbar again and select “Leave.”
How to Disable and Remove the Microsoft Edge Math Solver
At the time of writing in June 2021, “Math Solver” is still in the Preview stage and is available by default in Microsoft Edge 91. When you click on it, a sidebar opens on the right side to let you clip and drop math formulas or type one in there.
If you don’t want the feature, however, you can hide the Math Solver button from the toolbar or disable it entirely. To simply hide the button, first, launch Microsoft Edge on your computer. Right-click the Math Solver icon in the top-right corner of the toolbar and select “Hide from Toolbar.”
To disable Math Solver in Microsoft Edge, we’ll use the Edge “flags,” which are just like the Chrome flags. Since it’s available as a flag, the feature is still a work in progress. That being said, removing it could impact your browser’s performance. Disable the flag at your own risk.
First, open Microsoft Edge on your computer. Type edge://flags in the address bar and hit Enter. You’ll now see the “Experiments” page. Type “math solver” in the search bar at the top.
The “Math Solver in Microsoft Edge” item will show up in the “Available” section. Click the drop-down box and select “Disabled.”
Select the “Restart” button in the bottom-right corner of the tab that pops up.
After that, the Math Solver icon won’t be visible when you open “More Tools” after clicking the ellipses menu (three dots) in the top-right corner.
