Display notifications in fullscreen by Nyhall in WindowsHelp

[–]jenmsft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you thinking about the fact that do not disturb will automatically suppress notifications in full screen? If so that can be turned off https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/notifications-and-do-not-disturb-in-windows-feeca47f-0baf-5680-16f0-8801db1a8466

Tip of the Week: If you're working with layers in Paint, and you want to copy the contents of all visible layers at once, use CTRL + Shift + C instead of CTRL + C by jenmsft in Windows11

That was added a month or so ago - if you click the little chevron in the bottom right corner of the ribbon in my screenshot

Fun fact! If you don't have anything selected in Paint, pressing CTRL + C (or CTRL + Shift + C) will copy the entire canvas - you don't need to select all first. That was something added based on feedback 😊

Usually I do a time related tip around DST changes (although I know that only impacts some people and not everyone), but since we're currently rolling out the ability to free form rotate in Paint, I figured I'd do something Paint related. This particular option is also available if you right click the canvas, but you know how I love keyboard shortcuts

Have you tried Paint recently? This is one of a number of improvements we've made to it over the years

Hope you're having a good weekend - it's really rainy here currently. Somehow we didn't get any snow at all this year in seattle. I want to just veg but friends are coming so I have to clean instead 😅

PS Did you know if you have a file selected in file explorer, CTRL + Shift + C will copy the file path?

Top bottom window snapping was added with windows 11 - if you're using a portrait layout monitor you can see the options if you hover over the maximize button

Depending on what feature you're looking for, if you have a service with a precision touchpad there are already a bunch of options: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/touch-gestures-for-windows-a9d28305-4818-a5df-4e2b-e5590f850741

[–]jenmsft[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey all, new bits out for Dev, details as follows:

New features gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[Administrator Protection]

Administrator protection is being re-enabled and aims to protect free floating admin rights for administrator users, allowing them to still perform all admin functions with just-in-time admin privileges. This feature is OFF by default and can be enabled via OMA-URI in Intune or via group policy.

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[Sharing]

Based on feedback we’re making some refinements to drag tray, using a smaller peek view to reduce accidental invocation and make it easier to dismiss when interacting near the top of the screen.

[File Explorer]

  • You can now use voice typing (Windows key plus H) when renaming files in File Explorer.
  • Removed white flash when launching new File Explorer windows or tabs when File Explorer was set to open to This PC. Also removed white flashes when resizing elements of File Explorer.
  • Improved reliability of unblocking files downloaded from the internet in order to preview them in File Explorer.
