![]() Tap on any visible page to go back to your Home screen.Tap on the checkmark of a page to hide it. That's the pill-shape icon with dots just above the dock at the bottom of your screen. On your Home screen, go into edit mode.This is extremely helpful if you want to keep your unnecessary apps at hand without having to look at them all the time or if you want to use certain pages at certain times of the day. There's a new way to hide full pages without worrying about deleting all the apps it has. It integrates nicely with the OS and you will feel like the multi-tab functionality is a core part of Windows. Ever wanted to have Chrome-style tabs in Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office or PuTTY TidyTabs does just that. TidyTabs is a tool that brings tabbed browsing to all of your programs. You can also swipe down on the screen to bring up a system-wide search. Give every window a tabbed user interface. Then, find the app and move it to any page you want. If you want to bring it back to the Home Screen, you'll have to swipe to the right, where the App Library is located. And here’s a side-by-side look at how those new folders look as icons and in the expanded view. Choose whatever folders you want to appear on the Start menu. On the right, scroll all the way to the bottom and click the Choose which folders appear on Start link. The only consolation is that Win10 is still around, so I don't care as much.Remove apps from Home screen without deleting them: Tap and hold the app you want to remove. Head to Settings > Personalization > Start. Trash in comparison with Win10 Live Tiles in presentation and performance. Now we are left with the inferior Widgets of Win11 - clunky, slow, web-based implementations that I disable as soon as I setup any Win11 system. ![]() An elegant, no-frills presentation of weather information for the next five days. I am not ever leaving the built-in Weather Live Tile on Win10 - it's just that good, especially in the large tile size. Just click the start button, glance at the relevant group of tiles on a resizable Start canvas and move on. Without taking up any permanent real estate on your desktop. These are really well-done Live Tiles, that feed you truly useful information and updates in a blazing fast, smooth, convenient interface. There are probably many more high-quality examples. Reference examples of excellent Live Tiles implementation are myTube, Newsflow, Reddplanet (when it was actively developed), and built-in apps like Mail and Calendar, Weather, Photos, MS Money, etc. If they build them out and put them where people can access them, while keeping a clean UI.In my experience, I still think Live Tiles are a superior implementation of Widgets - if done right. MBY said:Eh, after seeing Android widgets, Live Tiles are clearly inferior. Live Tiles were really efficient that it has negligible impact on system performance, even you pin heaps on Start screen/menu. Also should also hibernate when let's say running full screen games. It needs to remember its position on each state. Like when docked and unlocked on laptop and tablets. I hope that Widget grid on desktop is smart even when resolution and monitor changes. Yes, there is Edge Sidebar, but not really the same since that's only for MS and its only meant for Edge users, and frankly not a great UX anyways. Similar to Vista Sidebar Gadgets which is on the right. Though for those who wants always on Widgets, Microsoft should also make current Widgets panel docked to the left screen. Windows have dedicated Show Desktop button on the Taskbar to replicate that. The experience will be basically like on Android, iOS and kinda like Windows Mobile of old when minimising apps/returning to home screen. On multi-monintors, user can dedicate all widgets on 2nd monitors if not used for windowed apps. On desktop with huge monitors or multi monitors, this more useful since on big screen, it's not always practical to have everything maximized. Having Widgets on desktop makes it always available as long as nothing covered on them. It is only available in Taskbar and oddly on App List only. Ideally I want it on Start menu, but clearly Microsoft is still allergic to this, they haven't even reimplemented Jump List in Start menu which is a Windows 7 feature. But this is promising and hopefully it is pretty solid on first launch and will continue to improved (not abandoned like many features and ideads). I hope this isn't a half baked implementation that Microsoft tends to do.
