Error when upgrading Windows 11

It is true that desktop PCs continue to use older hardware and install software drivers that have questionable compatibility with Windows 11. Judging that there would be no problem with a clean install, I waited for the weekend to try it, and the installation was completed without difficulty. Currently, no major problems have occurred, but the problem is the responsiveness of Explorer.

When you open a new folder, it goes into a "waiting state" for a few seconds, and when you select a file or folder with the keyboard, you have to wait a few seconds. This is an impression on a PC that does not meet the CPU requirements, but we have confirmed the same phenomenon on a PC that meets a series of system requirements. Previously, in this series, I said "try using the new context menu", but I disabled it early.

Focus on dedicated shortcuts that work on Windows 11

Now, let's get to the point. Shortcut keys are what I get wrong after using Windows 11 as the main OS.

Windows 10 combined the action center with notifications, so you could press 'Win' + 'A' to see notifications you missed. However, even if you press the same key on Windows 11, only quick actions will appear. You have to press "Win" + "N" to see the notification.

As you can see, the Windows 11 shortcut keys have undergone some revisions. For example, Widgets can be opened with 'Win' + 'W' and snap layouts with 'Win' + 'Z'. A series of shortcut keys can be confirmed on Microsoft's support page, so readers who have migrated from Windows 10 should check it once.

While loving Windows and Linux, he has written many PC-related books. In recent years, not only BtoC but also BtoB solutions coverage and interviews are the main battlefield. I have been taking it every day without setting a liver-free day, but the γ-GTP level has increased sharply, and urgent action is required.
