Clear the decks

You can use the keyboard shortcut Windows + D to minimize all open windows but there is another option. Open Settings, go to System > Multi-tasking and move the Title bar window shake toggle to On. Now, when you click the title bar of an open window, keep the left mouse button pressed, and shake from side to side, all windows except the selected one will be minimized.

Handy Settings shortcut

There are lots of handy keyboard shortcuts to learn in Windows 11, but one of the most useful for anyone who is frequently changing settings is Windows + I. Pressing this key combination will open the Settings app.

Custom screenshots

You probably know that you can take a screenshot of what you see in front of you by pressing Print Screen and then pasting the contents of the clipboard into your favorite image editor. But if you press Windows + Shift + S, you’ll launch the Snipping Tool app, which can be used to take a screengrab of just a portion of your desktop or any open window.

Quickly launch pinned apps

If you have shortcuts pinned in the taskbar, you already have an easy way to launch your most frequently used apps. But you can also press Windows + 1 to launch the app whose icon is in the first position, Windows + 2 to open the second, and so on.

You can even press multiple numbers at once to launch two or more apps simultaneously – pressing Windows + 3 + 4 will launch the apps whose shortcuts are third and fourth in the taskbar, for instance.

Type faster with Voice typing

If you want to input text a little faster, you could try talking to your computer instead of using the keyboard. Press Windows + H to launch Voice typing which you can then use to dictate text rather than typing it out by hand.

Check battery usage

If you’re on a laptop, you will probably want to maximize the life of your battery. When you’re away from a power source, you can check which apps are eating up the most battery by opening Settings and heading to System > Power & battery.

Click View detailed info next to the handy graph of battery usage and you will see a list of battery-hungry apps. You can close down any that are unnecessary or manage their background activity via the three-dot menu next to the app’s entry in the list.

Use virtual desktops

It is easy to run out of space on your desktop, or get lost in a sea of windows – and this is where virtual desktops can help. Click the Task View button next to the Start button and then click New desktop to create a new virtual workspace. You can use this – and any more you create – just like your normal desktop. Switch between them by holding Windows + Ctrl and pressing the left or right arrow key.

Customize Quick Settings

Click the Network/Volume/Power button in the taskbar, and you’ll see Quick Settings which gives easy access to key options and settings. You can remove items you don’t need or add new ones that are missing by clicking the pencil button, then click the ‘unpin’ button next to an unwanted item, or hit Add to choose more.
