5 Hidden Features in Windows 11 You Didn’t Know About

Windows 11 comes packed with a polished design and handy features, but there are some hidden gems that can really elevate your experience. Here are five lesser-known features you’ll want to explore:

1. SNAP LAYOUTS

No more manually resizing windows! With Snap Layouts, hover over the maximize button, and you’ll be able to organize multiple windows side-by-side in different configurations. It’s a quick and easy way to multitask like a pro.

2. FOCUS SESSIONS

Need to stay on track? Focus Sessions inside the Clock app lets you block out time for work, link your tasks from Microsoft To-Do, and even connect Spotify for focus-friendly music while you work.

3. CLIPBOARD HISTORY

Tired of losing what you copied earlier? Enable Clipboard History to keep a running list of items you’ve copied. Just press Win + V to view and paste from your history — a time-saver for multitaskers.

4. SHAKE TO MINIMIZE

Got too many open windows? Grab a window by the title bar and shake it. All other windows will minimize, leaving just your active window open. Shake again to restore them!

5. VIRTUAL DESKTOPS

Easily manage multiple desktops for different purposes with Virtual Desktops. Access them via the Task View button or by pressing Win + Tab. You can even customize each desktop’s background for clarity.

These hidden features make Windows 11 not just prettier, but smarter. Ready to unlock their potential?
