The labels are quite welcome. One of the first things happening to me after switching to 11 was: right clicking a file, thinking which of these symbols is copy and then just deciding to ctrl c it.

Surprised we left out how big of a performance gain some AMD processors get from this update.

I really enjoy these kinds of update videos! Keep making them please!

Cortana has actually reincarnated. She is now "Recall" and "Copilot" Just so everyone knows.

Windows Mixed Reality portal is required for all mixed reality headsets to be able to use it. By removing it, microsoft just turned your headset into brick. You cant even play steamvr without it, that shoud be illegal

The auto bitlocker gonna be a big issue for computer repair with people forgetting their password after using pins all the time.
Or when windows unbootable and u only want to get the file and reinstall new.
I hope Microsoft will undo it eventually
Also, getting Windows key from unbootable drive gonna be a pain now

I rarely use my Windows 11 PC but recently I used the snipping tool and right clicked on the sceenshot to copy & paste as I am used from my main machine with windows 10. And instead of making a small black dot with the painting tool it actually behaved like I am used to. Big improvement. *hysterical laughter*

I will miss wordpad :( I always use that and never notepad since it has more style options

At 9:20 you have to click the three dots to switch accounts/sign out from that menu. It's annoying that now it's 2 click, I've been meaning to check if it's possible to remove that.

I liked context menu labels, archive and "new update checkpoints" feature.

One thing you missed is that they added SDR color management, in System -> Display -> Color management. There's a new switch called "automatically manage color for apps". Basically it applies any ICC color profiles to all desktop apps.

[agostinhomatos]

I am glad you didn't mention the removal of Control Panel in windows 11, something pre-announced by Microsoft but without an effective date for the removal yet. Contrary to Wordpad, that its files can easily be backed up and later restored, there is no viable way to preserve Control Panel, deeply rooted inside Windows, to later recover it once removed, so an alternative option maybe a third party tool for that purpose.

[DavidM]

How about making File Explorer's (FE) tab dragging more like other apps such as Firefox. There's something about doing this in File Explorer that is just kind of crappy. In FF, you can drag a tab about 1/3 of the way and everything just snaps into place. Like a visual "click". But not with FE; much more of a mushy feel to the whole task.

The 'Compress To' option for legacy context menu is a nice touch, thankyou Joe

[hugosantos]

Extracting zip files that are password protected doesn't work with the windows extraction. It gives an error.

[LolKillization]

I'm so happy that they bring back the easy moving of files to the parent directory in the explorer. We lost this functionality when switching from Windows 10 to 11

[CloudTR]

3:52 as a linux user, im really happy

now i don't have to open a new terminal window with admin

[firstname]

they removed a couple of ways to get around the "MS Account Required" when installing Windows 11

[fragalot]

So how can we avoid having Bit-locker encrypt our drives when doing a clean install?

[delroypires]

7:23 i think the studio effects require an NPU like the new arm laptops or the new intel or amd Hawk-eye chips

Although they might add something similar to those who don't have a dedicated NPU in the future - maybe a cut down version
