r/Windows11

Saw these on r/MicrosoftEdge subreddit but couldn't find more info on it. Is this legit?

Would be great if true. Hate not being able to autofill passwords through Password Managers in apps other than Edge.

A lot of people dislike Windows simply because it's not Linux. They are fundamentally different operating systems designed for different use cases. Windows caters to a broad range of users, something Linux likely won't match due to its decentralization, which is great for niche users but problematic for general Linux users. I switched to Linux about a year ago due to my university's curriculum, which included OS development using Linux. Since then, I appreciated Linux for the control it offers; you can do almost anything. I loved it. However, I returned to Windows about a month ago because I'm working on ML projects, and Nvidia GPUs are essential, and Windows makes it easier.

Now that I'm back on Windows, I still use the terminal for almost everything. After learning PowerShell, I find Windows offers the same usability as Linux. I recently discovered Winget, and I'm impressed. The stability, power, Terminal app, and Winget are amazing. I'm not saying Linux is bad; I just don't see myself going back.

hi guys, is there any way on win11 to put the pop up when you turn the volume up and down to show the thing that is playing like we have in win10 (on the image).

I know that appears if you press Win+A, but i want it like win10 cause I have a keyboard with volume control and skip/pause songs and i like to see what is currently playing.

Ben en gros, le titre !

Je viens de réinitialiser mon PC sous Windows 11 Famille ( Home pour les anglophones ) et voilà ce qu'il me propose juste après l'écran de renommage du PC.

Après le reboot on reste sur un compte Microsoft demandé, mais sinon on peut poursuivre le setup en Local !

Je précise être dans le Canal Stable.

Excellente nouvelle ! Continue Microsoft !

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using virtual desktops on Windows 11 daily, and overall it’s a great feature for organizing workflows. However, there’s one limitation that really breaks the experience for power users.

Currently, there’s no native way to open an application directly on a specific virtual desktop.

For example, I’d love to:

• Always open Windows Terminal on Desktop 2
• Keep work apps on Desktop 1 and dev tools on Desktop 2 automatically
• Assign apps to desktops persistently (not just “move after opening”)

Right now, the only options are:

• Manually moving apps after launch
• Using workarounds like scripts or third-party tools

It would be a huge improvement if Windows allowed:

• Assigning apps to a specific virtual desktop
• Launching apps directly into a chosen desktop
• Possibly via shortcut, context menu, or app settings

Is this something Microsoft is already considering?
If not, I think this would significantly improve productivity for anyone using multiple desktops seriously.

Curious to hear how others are handling this today.

Thanks!

We've all taken a screenshot of a long page or wide window and ended up with a bunch of empty space or irrelevant content in the middle. Cropping only trims the edges, there's no built-in way to cut a slice out of the middle and stitch the rest back together.

Snagit has had this as "Cut Out" for years and it's genuinely useful. I submitted a Feedback Hub suggestion asking Microsoft to add the same thing to Snipping Tool. If you'd find this useful, an upvote would really help it get on the radar:
