after using these tools and tip my wife loves me again, my children respect me, my boss promoted me to owner of the company, my dog had pure bred puppies, my neighbor returned the tools he borrowed years ago, my aging father said he was proud of me, four of my best tomatoes won first place in the garden fair, i found $20 on the ground, my old collage called with a correction to my grades making me valedictorian, i won the lottery, and a long lost relative i've never heard of left me millions of dollars and a mansion on a private island in the tropics.

I knew about snip and sketch (it’s a life saver), but not the other ones. Can’t wait to try them out. 👍👍

Wow, just found this channel and already love it! Thank you, it's very helpfull😊

Thank you so much for explaining the virtual desktop feature! I'm usually working on stuff with lots of moving parts (so to speak) when coworkers come in and ask me to show them unrelated stuff on our network. Now I no longer have to minimize or close MY stuff (hoping to not lose my place) while I help them. 🧙‍♂

The timeline tool is incredible! Great presentation, and only 8 minutes long. Thank you.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Wow, very productive and time saving inputs, thanks

Thank you Lea! Great video again for a Windows user! 😊

This is the most useful video for my school projects. It's time saving!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊

Loved the sticky note feature ….i use to do it on a note pad…now will use this feature

Thank you so much for the very informative video.

Wow! I can use 3 of the 8 starting today! Thanks!

I love your teaching

awesome again. Thanks.

I'm definitely going to use Virtual Desktops. I remember getting my first Mac about 16 years ago and I loved the Spaces thing (basically the same thing), then eventually my Mac died and I didn't replace it and I forgot all about it until right now.

Thank you!

Amazing tips. Thank you so much !

I love the fact that you upload on sundays, the day I use for organization and cleaning. This specific video is very interesting to me as I am a "tech-guy" who likes organization. I already knew everything but "nearby sharing" as I need stronger tools to share folders as big as 50GB. Keep making this videos, you are doing a pretty good job!

The focus assist did wonders!

Followed immediately! Lots of useful tips here!

Great tips, thankyou. Liked and subbed and looking forward to more of your content. Thankyou.

I just stumbled upon your videos. I feel like I stumbled upon a productivity gold mine. Thanks.

Good tips!

Cute presentation and presenter. You've Saved me some minutes of reading...

thanks for the valuable content... appreciate if you could have time stamps....

I find the virtual desktop feature very useful. But it allows for horizontal switching, only. I would like to have the option to open a virtual desktop above or below my main desktop, too. Maybe Windows 11 offers that feature (I am running Windows 10). If you have 4 desktops open, then for some situations, it would be easier to navigate in a square arrangement, rather than having to slide left and right several times. Also note that the virtual desktop feature has a couple of handy options: 1) You can make a current window "sticky" (it will appear on all of your desktops). But if you close it, and then open it again, it will no longer be sticky. For that, see #2. 2) You can make an application sticky. So let's say you have Task Manager open, and you always want it to appear on all desktops. Then you make the application sticky, and it will always appear on all desktops, each time you start it up. Virtual desktops have been around for ½ of forever, with Linux, and with 3rd party software for Windows (and all behave differently with different features). Microsoft finally got around to it in Windows 10. I use Microsoft's version, because it is very good (overall), and will not have any bugs / compatibility issues (or if found, will get fixed without delay). If you need 10+ virtual desktops open, the Windows built-in version will become unwieldy (meaning, you will not easily be able to scoot around and determine what is where). With some 3rd party virtual desktops, they are better suited for having many, many virtual desktops open. I discovered this at an old job where I had telnet / ssh sessions and other GUI sessions open to dozens of remote systems. The interface was great. You could see at a glance what was where. But that was an extreme environment. For most typical situations, the built-in version from Microsoft works great.

Thank you v much indeed, Thats a first class of work.

Thank you, great job!

surprisingly! these features you mentioned are helpful, thank you Lea. Can you do a video on the best ways to save your files online for free?

Very informative. Thanks

In my current job, I looked into Windows Virtual Desktops, since my previous career has been in Linux. I found the Windows tool too limited. I work with 4 monitors and wanted to have the virtual desktops per monitor. But with the Windows tool, you had to switch all or nothing. I did try the option of having some windows always stay up but that only helped with one monitor where I always keep the windows up all the time. I haven't taken the time to find a 3rd party program to meet my needs.

You are as cool as a desk fan in Alaska Lea. Thank you for all your invaluable contributions.

is it possible to set / install other shortcuts on the additional v-desktops? actually i only get a copy of my desktop but without the opened programs.

Spectacular,! Thank you.

Some awesome tips gained here. I'll definitely be following your channel. Thanks Lea 👍

Yay, I knew all of these, I love night light

I only knew about a couple of them, so thank you for this!

These are very useful, thanks, but seems it is not possible to enable nearby sharing if your device doesn't have bluetooth, however the Dukto app will still work (from the windows store)

nice vid, how did you put the task bar on the side?

Good tutorial. Watched from Sri Lanka. Is this features working for Windows 11 pro?

Good video, thank you.

Thank you 😊

Thanks! i knew a few. Subbed!

another quality helpful video

Thank you, you nice, smart lady. Ciao from Italia

Veeeeery useful video: congratulations¡¡¡

Gracias por su ayuda.

Really helpful

Thanks 🙏

Well Lea I have downloaded the old snipping tool as I find the new one convoluted and very non user friendly the old version does just what I want. anow sticky notes I don't use because I use Google Keep for that sort of stuff. Anyway some handy tips.

How did you get your taskbar on the left side of screen.

Some programs that I run that have to have an open window but that I don't want to clutter my desktop like the Alexa app for example, I just stick onto the second virtual desktop so it's still running and responds but is out of sight.

Nearby share will help me alot

For the snapping, you can actually use all of the arrow keys, not just left and right. And it's not just something that splits the screen down from the middle, on Win 11 atleast you can snap 4 programs on your screen if you do it right. Instead of for example just doing Win + Right, you should do Win + Right and Win + Up so you can divide your screen to 4.

Il tuo video mi è stato molto utile, grazie, un saluto da Milano (Italia)

This is more informative

How do you get your task bar on the left? (I have Windows 11.)

Erneut herzlichen Dank!

Danke

Thank you, the half of things that you recomend it i didn't know, thank you.

Our offices are cozy and lit with lamps, so I've had night light on for years, in addition to turning down my monitor brightness.

Hi. How you push Taskbar vertically ?

Yeah, I actually learned a few new features here. Nothing that would ever be useful to me in any way, but hey, free info, thanks.

You're great

It looks to be W11 tips. I would like to suggest you to mention it in the video title. It will help us, W10 users.😊

Does it work for Windows 11 Home? I can't figure out how Windows timeline is working for me and I can't create virtual desktops.

i don't know why i never thought of using virtual desktop for organizing lol. i have a dual monitor setup but alot of time i feel like its not enough and windows are all over the place

Nice jacket

I like your voice!

How do you find these things?

Best one is the power off.

For what I do with computers, night light is the worst thing ever. I cannot get colors of an image or video right. The best tool for lighting is Dark Mode. I have used Timeline and Virtual Desktops. Love the later. Don't like Windows Notifications. I have turned them off completely. I don't like anything that changes the focus of what I am currently working on.

I never knew these tools were hidden.

Could you please specify the windows version in the comments section?

👍👍

❤

Most of these apps are aim to have a windows nanny... besides giving up a lot of personal info to Meinkrosoft. Oh, well, I guess it match people incapable to focus or in need of safe spaces...

Virtual Desktops. Wow, Windows is getting with the times. Linux has had this for about 30 years

Please add timestamps. For such videos and from a tech channel that is a bear minimum.

Still look at this stuff but just switched to Linux at age 78 because this is just junk to me. Of course I started out when the screen was black and the print was yellow and got along fine.

I thought virtual desktops are not saved if the pc is rebooted.

Instead of all these not really necessary apps, I would like to see just a useable file finder. Why does Google find files on the whle web much faster and to the point than Windows does on the local computer?

ad 8: Use Win+Shift+Left/Right to immediately send a window to other screens.

Please specify the Windows version in your title. Task view is no longer in Windows 11. Alt+TAB just shows all open windows. Task History is....history. This is a Windows 10 thing only.

Timeline is gone in Windows 11 unfortunately 😢

💥💥💥😊😊

Are you able to have your taskbar to the side now?!

Snip & Sketch should be against the law. It is a horrible user experience. I love SNAGIT.

snip sketch , cant find it on win 11

One of the reasons Windows is NOT taken seriously by MIS Professionals is that WINDOWS UPDATE(s) ***overwrite*** lots of personalized shortcuts/progams/icons/etc. NEVER UPDATE WINDOWS lol (even mandatory updates) are ignored by us MIS professionals in the POST WINDOWS 7 Era. Windows 7 RESPECTED individual users and didn't mess with OUR COMPUTER. You YOUNGuns are used to Windows pushing the individual around and with draconian software updates. LOL

😂 I know about

Right, Microsoft is no more trying to help their customers. In the beginning, the company's philosophy was to end global poverty and empower women in third-world countries. When they saw that these were false promises, Microsoft bet on gaming. As from the quote "bread and circuses". The quote comes from a satire by the Roman Juvenal from the 1st century AD, who makes fun of it. Rome had a huge population at the time, certainly over a million people. And supplying them in pre-modern conditions was a big problem. Same today, many people urgently need entertainment. Microsoft: Give them games. Do they have a fully functioning screen recorder with all the features of the Icecream Screen Recorder? Nope. Bill Gates wants your money as soon as there are well-developed features.

lovely hair...

Love you, kiss you and thank for all. 😂❤❤

Linux is faster than windows malware, worship your guru billy gates 🤑

and i probably don't care. just like the 1000 shortcuts i don't use including thee windows key

same content and information as you give your previous video.

There's a VERY good reason why people don't know these features. It's because nearly all of them are completely useless. As an example, no one really uses the blue filter because people will use dark mode for things. No sane person needs virtual desktops unless they're one of these people who want to fill their entire desktop full of icons. You then have to spend more time looking through desktops for the right one. Just declutter you desktop, job done. I mean, I've got 10 icons on my desktop of the tools I commonly use then I save an entire click by having some on the taskbar. Add to that a Quicklaunch and proper start menu that obeys the proper folder structure of the menu and that's all anyone would ever need.

Fdisk is the only usefull tools MS has ever come up with
