Snap Layouts & Groups (Beyond Basic): Hover over a window's maximize button to reveal various snap layouts for efficient multitasking. Once snapped, these window arrangements are saved as "Snap Groups" in Task View (Win + Tab) for quick restoration later, maintaining your workflow.

Clipboard History (Win + V): Instead of just the last copied item, access a history of your recent copies (text, images, etc.). Pin frequently used snippets for easy access, boosting productivity when dealing with repetitive information entry across different applications.

Focus Sessions (Clock App): Integrated within the Clock app, Focus Sessions allow you to set timers for focused work intervals with designated break times. It can also integrate with Spotify for background music and Microsoft To Do for task management, minimizing distractions.

Voice Typing with Punctuation (Win + H): Dictate text in any text field with automatic punctuation. This feature has significantly improved in accuracy and can be a game-changer for those who prefer speaking over typing, especially for longer documents or quick notes.

Widgets (Customizable): While visible, many users don't fully customize their Widgets board (Win + W). Personalize it with relevant information like weather, news, sports scores, and even your Microsoft To Do list, providing at-a-glance updates without opening separate apps.

Quick Assist (Search "Quick Assist"): This built-in tool allows a trusted friend or IT support to remotely connect to your computer to offer assistance. It's a secure and straightforward way to get help with technical issues without needing to download third-party remote access software.

Storage Sense (Settings > System > Storage): Configure Windows to automatically free up disk space by deleting temporary files, managing OneDrive files, and emptying your Recycle Bin based on your set schedule. This helps keep your storage optimized without manual intervention.
