There’s no denying that Windows 11 has a lot of really cool new features.
Â
If you haven’t made the move from Windows 10 yet, you’re missing out.
Â
But there’s good news. To make the (eventual) move from Windows 10 to 11 a little easier, Microsoft is sharing a couple of 11’s most useful features.
Â
The first should make printing a little easier. We can hear your cheers from here! Anything that makes printing easier is OK in our book too. Printers don’t have a terrible reputation for nothing…
Â
This feature makes printing PIN-protected. That means when you want to print a document, you’ll send it off to the printer – but it’ll only print when you’ve reached the printer and entered your PIN.
Â
This removes the risk of you printing something confidential and leaving it on the printer for everyone to see.
Â
Or accidentally printing several copies of the same document. Yes, this will reduce paper waste.
Â
And that’s not all…
Â
There’s a second really useful feature coming over to Windows 10. It’s called Focus Assist and works alongside do not disturb.
Â
Switching on do not disturb is great when you want a little uninterrupted time to finish a task or do some research. But if you use it a lot, you might miss a notification that you really needed to see.
Â
Focus Assist stops that from happening. You use it alongside do not disturb and it still allows important and time-sensitive notifications and messages to reach you.
Â
These features have been in testing since June this year. There’s still no date for when they’ll be released to everyone with Windows 10. But they’re on their way.
Â
If you can’t wait to try more of the time saving and productivity boosting features that Windows 11 has to offer, give us a call to see how we can help you make the switch.
