    I wish Windows 11 had an option when hiding the taskbar to get rid of the white line it leaves at the bottom of the screen. It's like a toddler hiding behind the curtains only for their feet to be sticking out at the bottom. It would also be good to get rid of static images if you are using a new OLED monitor or an OLED TV as a media PC.

    I just switched today from Windows 10 to Windows 11. My motherboard ASUS ROG Maximus XII HERO (Wi-Fi) after upgrading BIOS to firmware 2701. I love the context -menu every time I do a right click, specially when Copying / Moving / Pasting / Renaming file. Very handy. I also love the dark themes for the whole Windows GUI. It is relaxing to my eyes.

    Thanks for the tips and tricks, TG. I really like the improved start menu in Windows 11, it's more compact without those annoying live tiles. And I also like the improved settings app. However, I can't stand the right-click menu and I prefer the old snipping tool to the new one.

    I was NOT going to accept Win 11's removal of toolbars from a top screen taskbar that I've had since the turn of the century. Through the use of a third-party utility, I was able to keep a Quick Launch toolbar that uses submenus for Graphics, Development, Productivity, etc. (over 100 apps), and a Favorites toolbar of over 50 websites that does not depend on importing bookmarks if I change my default browser.

      For me, the screenshot goes into the notifications section. Windows key + N opens that. It also saves it into a file, under Pictures, called Screenshots. If you want to mark up the screenshot, click on the result in the Notifcations panel and it'll open so you can make your changes, then click on the save button and save it where you want.
