12 Secret Windows Functions to Boost Your Productivity

[@user-nr8sh6bz6h]

You were right. I didn't know many of these helpful features. Some were on my mental radar already!! Thanks.

[@LeaDavid]

Glad you could learn something new! All the best, Lea

[@missinglincoln]

I knew *of* a few of these, but I think I had only used one of them? Thank you for this highly useful video!

[@LeaDavid]

Glad it was helpful!

[@modernvikingnorway]

THANK you so much Lea! This made my day.

[@LeaDavid]

You are so welcome!

[@41rahulteja13]

It's a super time saving video Lea, Would like to get a file sharing, compressing video from you.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@madswansfan1]

This was a very helpful video. I’ll try some of them when I go back to work.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it 😊

[@RachelleKS]

Thank you for the video! Windows tells me the record tool is being phased out because you can do a screen recording using the snippet tools.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, Rachelle, for sharing. I was not aware of this..

[@patrickbuswell]

I knew them all but i also have no friends and no social life. My only suggestion would be to create chapters for your great tips

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, Patrick! Noted for the next one :)

[@fernandomelo3531]

Trully amazing

[@LeaDavid]

Thank you, Fernando!

[@tyvellew82]

Thank you for sharing. I did'nt know about most of these but they are going to be very useful

[@LeaDavid]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jeccyakinyi9103]

thanks so much

[@LeaDavid]

You're welcome!

[@franck8087]

Thanks for the tips! Finally Windows is a quite cool OS ;)

[@LeaDavid]

Glad it helped!

[@NateCaton-h2v]

You are amazing at windows! Do you know if there is a way to combine some of the 1tb microsoft family storage space onto the main account? I don't have 5 people using it so I'd like to add 1tb to my own 1tb, thus making my one drive 2tb.

[@LeaDavid]

Hi Nate, thanks so much! However, I don't know that specific answer. Sorry and good luck, Lea

[@joseescobar9031]

Thank you Lea.

[@LeaDavid]

You are so welcome!

[@mohsinfareed1797]

tHANKS. MOST OF THEM I DO NOT KNOW. GREAT.

[@LeaDavid]

Glad to hear that!

[@rtcurtis5858]

I use a wired Usb A mouse with scroll wheel. I prefer the scroll direction like Apple Mac presents. There are no settings to adjust this, requiring a registry edit per mouse device. Randy-Illinois

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks for sharing. Indeed, scrolling direction is something you need to get used to over time..

[@claudiat.8508]

Thanks Lea. I can't make the Aero Shaker work with Windows 11, nor does the custom taksbar/toolbar seem to be available in it.

[@LeaDavid]

I believe you are right, Claudia. Unfortunately they seem to be unavailable in Windows 11.. sorry about that 😕

[@p0001076]

@@LeaDavid It is available in Windows 11 ... but you need to manually activate it in your settings. While it was standard activated in Windows 10, it's standard deactivated in Windows 11. Go to Settings > System > Multitasking and switch the option on! Ready to shake! 😉

[@ALaModePi]

I can't find any reference to Toolbars or the menu shown by right-clicking anywhere on the bottom of my screen.
I get a small menu that contains "Task Manager" and "Taskbar settings."

[@LeaDavid]

Hi, unfortunately it seems as if it's not available in windows 11 if you are using it.. sorry about that! 😕

[@krissfuentes]

What tool do you use to record the screen? I want to create a tutorial for the Aero Shake feature.

[@LeaDavid]

Hi Kriss, I use ShareX.

[@koljoy]

The step recorder did not work with me, even with Edge. I already use virtual desktop, snap asst., dictation (though only English, doesn't support Bengali), and clipboard history. Virtual assistant, I did not know it and was using anydesk. Thank you.

[@LeaDavid]

Great to hear that you have been using so many functions already. With steps recorder, maybe you want to give it another try and something just went wrong..?!

[@Ramsesromay]

Something that’s missing for me is the ability to have Teams open in both virtual desktops. I haven’t seen that feature. Is it possible? Something that’s missing in Clipboard is that yes, it storage your screenshots but you cannot edit them.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks for your question. With teams I am not sure and would need to try out as well. However, you are right with clipboard history, maybe editing is coming in the next update..

[@Ramsesromay]

@@LeaDavid thank you. Great content as always!

[@debagniksen7809]

They have removed most of the taskbar customization options from windows 11.

[@LeaDavid]

That's true and a real pity. Thanks for sharing!

[@philipperostin]

No custom toolbars on windows 11

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, Philippe, for letting us know!

[@edivaldos4415]

Why don’t you do videos about Mac computers ?

[@LeaDavid]

Because I don't use Mac but Windows 😀

[@Zoom1Zoom2-ix5kr]

Mac lives don't matters 🤣

[@queenbey6678]

Why don't you make videos on Mac? The entitlement to whine at someone else about the videos they want to make.

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Is this a tutorial on Windows or on Speed-Reading? Unless you are a computer hack, the speed at which you present your solutions makes this video for most people useless.

[@nazik407]

Use the settings and reduce playback speed...it's very simple.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, that's also what I would have recommend. Just reduce playback speed and/or rewatch individual sequences 😀

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

@@LeaDavid Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time than to tinker around with videos?

[@ChiaraEla-ph4ky]

@@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp There is no reason to be rude to a person who offers free content.

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

@@ChiaraEla-ph4ky Free content can also be used to abuse those who believe in professionalism. Once you go public, you have to be able to take the heat - or get out of the kitchen. .

[@KhayrulIslamKhalid]

Seriously these are all common basic features let alone "secret". Totally a waste of time

[@LeaDavid]

Good for you of you already know all those features 😀
