    Start in the center is really beneficial on ultrawides. It’s one of my favorite changes, along with the new way snap zones work.

      As some one who always prefers windows star to bottom left, having it centered is a must the long travel distance is not worth it with an ultra wide.

    Tell me how to:
    1. Stop edge grouping tabs
    2. Stop Windows starting all my apps on a restart
    3. Stop Edge opening up 6 youtube tabs at 3am and starting playing them all.

    If you are stuck in boot recovery loop then make sure bios was installed correctly; it happened during windows update which was stupid

    How about the tablet “tablet mode” on Windows 11? How do you get it back for 2-in-1 PC users and “hybrid” PC users such HP Spectre X360 or HP Pavilion X360?

    Watching “IT pros” hate about the position of the start button over the years is really old and annoying. In most cases its faster to reach the button in the middle.

    Besides, if you are an “IT pro”, you are using the keyboard button anyways making this irrelevant

    Win+v for clipboard. Saves time having to go back and fourth from source to destination. Power toys is a app made my ms that has a lot of features like customizable window snapping and remappable keys and my personal favorite power renamed that renames multiple files at once similar to the find and replace features in word or coding apps.

    For the last tip, you can also access the disk cleanup by clicking the start button and searching for cleanmgr. When you see disk cleanup appear in the list, right-click on it and select run as administrator.

    When Windows 10 video?

    MS Powertoys might make a good video. I use Powertoys Text Extractor & Color Picker all the time. The Paste As Plain Text shortcut is also great.
