Another feature is the possibility to show app labels in the taskbar like Windows XP is back, probably they had a lot of requests regarding that matter, I'm actually glad they did
This is hands down the best feature yet. Taskbar still isn't perfect though. Many features missing from windows 10
@@MajorGlory01 If they were to re-implement the old themes, such as Luna, Aero, Classic I would upgrade instantly. But this is a step in the right direction, it’s looking more appealing now as a Windows 10 user
@@Rohanology It was always in Windows 10, just look in the taskbar settings.
I activated this immediately, it instantly improves productivity when you have multiple windows of the same application. You are just one click away, instead of a hover + wait for preview + select your window. In macos is much worse when you have multiple windows of the same application.
Hope this fixes the issue when you are in file explorer and you hit “view” -> “show” for hidden files/folder or extensions it just sits there for a few seconds before the secondary menu shows up :)
Thanks for the news!
To easily know why some are considered as system components like settings or file explorer, you just need to understand that you can't uninstall them as they are integrated parts of an OS. UWP apps except Microsoft store are deletable but you can still technically remove Microsoft store using some sort of PowerShell command.
Brilliant video Thio. Keep the work up!
can confirm that dev drives are in Windows 11 Home as well
Thx Joe!
I run the home version of Windows 11 and have noticed the Dev Drives thing as well.

@@JoCaTen yes, but does windows does not respect that or your on a locked down work pc that you can't fix. It's usually a pop up that asks reboot now, or later. Guess what happens if you don't click it, for example you leave to get lunch. You come back to an unusable machine, usaully when you have a meeting or deadline.
Use Chris Titus tech debloat tool and disable windows update, or delay them if you like
You can enable metered connection and it should solve your problems
Lol, that's a new meme right there at 2:38. The face is perfect!
I hope they fixed the file drag and drop getting stuck in drag mode, and the explorer constantly crashing. Those are the only things keeping me from updating my workstation to windows 11.
Oh I didn't realize it was yesterday. I'll have to update it and check out the new features
Microsoft had launched many new features in the Moment 4 update for 22H2. Microsoft confused us releasing the new features in Moment 4 instead of 23H2
were you born yesterday or you didn't even realize they finally made an Windows 11 version of Programs & Features in Control Panel from Windows XP era.
App section which now includes Windows components is basically the first two options of Programs & Features.
The only thing now they have left to include is the option to view installed Windows updates which lets you directly see the latest installed version of windows and uninstall/rollback from it.
Thank you so much
Thio Joe please upload more frequently. I love your channel. Want more content from you.
Is there a way to delete a single line without the program putting a bunch of freaking squares on your image? I was working on a basic drawing type thing and I don't really want a bunch of little squares messing up the drawing?
@ThioJoe question when I open browser it'll show tabs but then pops up another one but it blank with a black square on a side before revealing which tab I left off any idea
Hey, you using a new cursor by any chance? Your cursor has a cool black highlight and would love to know how you got it.
I would love to upgrade to the new Windows so long as I get a more compact UI (and still get to keep Volume Mixer).
wdym win11 has a volume mixer since 23h1
explorer has a compact mode toggle and the old context menu can be brought back with a quick registry hack
They actually added the Volume Mixer back into the UI on the taskbar! I believe it's covered in that earlier video Joe was talking about.
@@v0xlI have issue with volume mixer, like main sound control not working but individual sound control working..
do you have to have windows 11 in order to use the video recording on Snipping Tool? my office has windows 10 and my only arm to record the screens is Webex
In my laptop, after i updated to win11 23H2. I found out after i make a new folder for a new file. If you change the views to Content & Large icon, a black square background will appear behind the folder icon, while if i try to files already stored in my device the view, it seems unapected. So is it a bug or just a glitch in view setup?
i wish that Microsoft would have usted that chat feature to a multi IM/chat thing insted off just being Teams. would been so much better for sure. That way services could have hooked into that and we had gotten one place for all msg.
Is there any to get the snipping tool in win 10 which is released in 22H2
I like that you showed that Cocreator can't deal with text but didn't mention the person with 3 Hands lol
Does the snipping tool video tool allow you to record anything on the desktop screen? Or does DRM prevent you from doing this?
if you haven't received the update yet and have the button "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" enabled, try to disable it and check again for updates.
Nice background!
Does this update fixes printer sharing connectivity issues on other lower versions of windows OS?
I recently bought a zenbook pro 14 that comes with Windows 11 Home, updated to latest and version is 23H2, but for some reason, the Windows Copilot doesn't exist. I have gone to Group Policy Editor and click on Not Configured or Disabled on "Turn off Windows Copilot" but still it is not available. Any clue?
I'm surprised you didn't cover the Dev Drive in a bit more depth considering you did a dedicated video on ReFS, which the Dev Drive uses under the hood to get the majority of it's performance benefits among other system optimisation tweaks dedicated to the volume it mounts.
I am wondering whether I should update to this because I am being driven insane by my volume which started lowering itself randomly. It's on 100% and once it lowers itself it is too low. I have googled it and tried everything I can see to fix it, and nothing has worked. The only thing I haven't tried as I am not keen, is where you go on update driver and pick choose my own from what's on my computer....then a warning comes up with a yellow triangle saying if you do it things may not work correctly (forgot the exact wording).
somehow my win11pro display switching shortcut is dead, Win-p. The usual one via display settings still there.
cant find a suitable google search on how to fix it.
Because I have a problem, Windows shuts down by itself and appears blue on the screen itself and says that some code has been stopped, which supposedly seems to have some error, please give me advice on how to solve that problem as soon as possible before my computer breaks down
Thanks for the info! Do you know if its possible to incrase the video recording bitrate in snipping tool? That tool is very useful but the low bitrate of the capture makes text blurry and in some scenarios i have to use geforce experience to capture all the detail.. Thanks!
Just use a proper video capturing tool like OBS or Bandicam.
Sniptool is for those who don't care about ANY details (aka casuals).

I don't see the cocreate option in Paint
What about Unicode support with Samaritan, Mandaic, Linear B, and so on?
3:44 I have the same list except tips also shows up.
i have the same version as what you shown just a Home Version, maybe that why i not see the Co-Pilot app?
5:17 bro that messed up my taskbar shortcuts for example when I press win+2(file explorer) it open microsoft edge because of the teams app guess what YOU CAN'T REMOVE THE ICON FROM THE TASKBAR
weird, i do not see Cocreator in my mspaint even on 23H2
Also, for the dev drive, you can create it in home edition.
I'd rather have other stuff that is now only available in pro editions. I had to work around to get a simple thing as Group policy installed, which would have made much more sense. Why would you need a dev drive in a home edition? The logic boggles the mind.

The new 23H2 windows gallery in the explorer leaks tons of memory until it reaches 5gb of ram and just hangs, just kind of ridicolous the quality assurance in this regard. You just have to scroll very fast through images with the task manager to see this. Also it doesn't pregenerate the image thumbnails in background of your added media, and it also doesn't take profit of powerful 16cpu cores to pregenerate those thumbnails. Quite a disaster of gallery implementation. It even shows tooltips where it shoudn't out of the window or scroll position. It shoud not be even a pre-alpha, one month since they added this and no fix at all and no mention to it. Even a low end mobile device loads google photos list super fast, I would expect a high end windows pc to not even see any thumbnail loading no matter how fast I'm scrolling.
They won't rest until Windows is completely broken and unusable. I mean, they broke CPU usage reporting in 22H2 (% of CPU usage per process in the Details tab of Windows Task Manager is completely broken, as is for 3rd party applications because the API itself returns meaningless results) and they haven't fixed it yet over a year later despite multiple reports and complaints (even BEFORE the official release of 22H2).
It's like MS devs these days don't care about usability and backwards compatibility anymore, it almost seems like all they want to do now is play with cute colors, plasticine and whatever is the latest gimmick (and those who still use Windows for serious work be damned!)
MS F'ed Photo App for so long. I stopped updating my Win10's APP for a long time. Also, they seems to F'ed up snapshot app. It can no longer save the picture (only copy it into clipboard). Also seems new Windows mail app is not useful as older versions. They F'ed almost everything that could be F'ed.
@@JcRabbit I just even thought about migrating to apple, but the window management and taskbar is a disaster, and the kind of politics of apple of "they know what is best for you" won't ever work with me, as there is 0 personalization. And is full of weird behaviours, like not being able to select mutliple files depending of the list view of the finder application, not showing transfer speeds for not knowing what are you buying (if there is no transfer speed, it never goes slow! 😎). Or how inconsistent in behaviours are the window minimize, close and maximie between applications makes me crazy Even with this windows problems I continue to prefer windows that is getting better day after day. The new video recorder, and text extrat with the snippet tool works amazing. Just let's wait and see if chat gpt helps microsoft at improving windows at a much faster rate. Let's hope that all those perfiemance issues get fixed in windows 12, and that the old control panel and inconsistencies gets removed once for all.
@@fhs7838 The snapshots are now automatically saved in the snapshots folder, no need to explicity save them. But yes, the photo gallery app has also scroll performance problems, and sliding between photos is awful, you can see a low quality preview with different aspect ratio before the full quality photo appears. And the image viewer is such a common task that should work instantly. The classic image viewer loaded images much faster.

When are you going to cover the Windows Co-pilot?
Regarding the dev drive,I'm a hobbiest programmer I just do it for fun so I am not an expert.
But I believe the dev drive is so that you can store your source and build files. When building files, the security software can really slow it down specially if it is a large project. In my case my newly built files suddenly vanish. That's because the AV though it was a PUP or trojen and quarantied it.
You would usually add the folders to the excluded list in the AV but that does mean it won't ever get scanned. So I think the Dev drive allows you to store your source and build files without the AV getting in the way but also provided some security. It's a bit more complicated than that but I think that's the general gist.
4:40 Dev drives aren't new. They exist since march already. I definetely get better built times when running it off a dev drive
ms paint adding a built in body horror generator is a pretty strange feature to add tbh
I see the emojis as the 3d emojis but in my emoji selection, they're 2d again. I also had the 3d emojis for a minute but they went away
my copy of paint does not have the co-creator icon even thought i have the 23h2 version of win11. Paint 11.2402.32.0
those are some life changing changes alright...3d emojis. how did i live without those i have no idea...
What about the symbol of the copilot in the taskbar? I can start the copilot only from the edge-browser, but not from the taskbar. There is no icon and under "Settings -> Personalisation - Taskbar - Settings" is no icon which I can activate.
HYPE!!!
When will that Android apk support come to windows...?
with this i now conclude that windows is evolving, just backwards
does this update fix to corruption of the user profile that makes it impossible to open the display settings without it crashing the settings app entirely?
@@lunchmoneyog it actually is a thing. google it for one thing. it's somewhat common. one of the "fixes" is creating a new admin account which ends up being fine.
2, I talked to microsoft support and they concluded "the user account is corrupted".
sfc /scannow, DISM both do nothing to solve it. only a new user account or factory resetting will solve it.
Is it possible that Windows itself, which is not activated with a key, is causing a problem on the computer itself, that it shuts down by itself, please answer
So, they didn't bother with the following:
1) Performance and software compatibility improvements as well as optimization.
2) Have an alternative UI that doesn't look like Google Chromebook.
3) Give an option to enable or disable the ugly unintuitive contextual right-click menu. You need to create a registry file to change this.
4) Make a version of Windows 11 streamlined for non-mobile and non-touchscreen users.
5) More personalization options.
There was supposed to be a huge directX update. When is it coming or it has and I missed it?

Windows Copilot got deleted with this update on my pc. Not sure why.

There’s a security risk in builds 22h2 and 23h2 that wasn’t in 21h2 gold build. If you right click on the properties of the C drive and select the security tab there’s an unknown account that has special permissions against the drive usually reserved for administrators only. If the hackers can access this account then they will have access to all files on the C drive. This problem came up in 2018 when users were up grading from W7 to W10 and is due to MS using a faulty build of W10 to reskin it to windows 11. In the general tab of the C drive the button should read Disk Cleanup not Details and on the RHS of the task bar in the systray it should be a crescent moon for focus not the sleeping bell icon (22h2) or the bell icon (23h2) as this is the first indicator of these software errors. This is the real story of Windows 11 that MS don’t want to fix as I have tried to pass this info back to them a number of times already. This can be deleted but it will turn W11 back to W10. Maybe you would like to make a video on this thanks.
