Windows 11 continues to evolve with features aimed at enhancing user experience. Recent updates encourage personalization of the operating system’s interface and functionality to better meet user needs.
Personalization Features
In Windows 11, users can move the taskbar from the default center position to the left, reminiscent of Windows 10. This simple change can be made under Settings > Personalization > Taskbar, offering a familiar layout for those who prefer it.
The Start menu can be customized by enabling folders, which allows for quick access to important items like Pictures or Documents. Although recommended items cannot be completely removed, users can adjust settings under Personalization > Start to manage their display.
System and Developer Enhancements
System Protection, a critical feature allowing for the creation of restore points, can be activated for greater data security. By searching for "Create a restore point," users can configure System Protection settings as needed.
Enabling Developer Mode expands access to advanced tools and new features. While unnecessary for most daily users, it provides a safe opportunity for testing and advanced tasks.
Practical Display Options
File Explorer in Windows 11 can be adjusted to display file extensions, aiding quick identification of file types. Through the View menu in File Explorer, users can enable the display of file name extensions, facilitating better file management.
Windows 11's configurable settings demonstrate a balance between design aesthetics and usability, supporting a diverse array of user workflows.
