Microsoft starts testing secret Windows 11 features like wallpaper stickers and tablet mode

References to stickers for desktop wallpapers, the ability to hide the taskbar for tablets, and a sustainability section in Settings have all been discovered in the latest test version of Windows 11.

Enable Windows 11's God Mode to access all settings in one screen

Quote:Unlike Windows 10, Windows 11 comes with a new Settings app. It uses a sidebar and breadcrumbs to help users easily navigate between different pages, and it also features new controls for customization, managing network, power usage, disk management, and more.

The settings app has been significantly improved, but several Control Panel features are still missing.

Thankfully, Windows 11 still comes with the Control Panel and File Explorer-based advanced configuration page called "God Mode" that allows you to easily access all advanced tools, features, and tasks.

With God mode, you can view and manage advanced management features in one location and it's better than the modern settings.

Windows 11's God mode offers support for up to 206 settings and some settings could be missing if they were added in will be missing. For example, a new feature that lets you set Bing wallpapers (spotlight) as desktop background is missing, but you will still find the link to the primary settings 'Personalization' in the God mode folder.

Enable God Mode in Windows 11

To access God Mode in Windows 10, create a special shortcut folder, as highlighted in the steps below:

1 - On the desktop, right-click anywhere.

2 - Select “New” option and click on "Folder"

3 - Right-click the new folder.

4 - Rename the folder to the following command:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

5 - Press enter.
You can double-click on this folder to open God Mode.

Microsoft's latest Windows 11 test build adds new group policies, drops SMB1 enablement by default

Quote:Microsoft rolled out a new Windows 11 Insider test build, No. 22610, to the Dev and Beta Channels on April 29. This build includes a lot of fixes, along with a handful of new features and updates.

Today's test build also no longer enables the SMB1 file-sharing client by default in the name of security. However, testers who have installed SMB1 manually or upgraded from a preview Windows version where SMB1 was installed will not have SMB1 removed from the latest test builds.

Build 22610 adds new mobile device management and group policies for IT admins. These new policies can be configured locally using the group policy editor or via Microsoft EndPoint Manager.

Among the policies available as of today:

Disable Quick Settings flyout
Disable Notification Center and calendar flyouts
Disable all taskbar settings
Disable search (across Start & taskbar)
Hide Task View from taskbar
Block customization of 'Pinned' in Start
Hide 'Recommended' in Start
Disable Start context menus
Hide 'All apps' in Start

Today's test build also includes an update to the Family Safety Widget which provides a new location-sharing view to show where those using the Family Safety app are located. There's also an update that includes "an improved view" of screen time usage across apps and devices.

For those with PCs that support it, the estimated battery life timing will show up in the battery icon in the system tray.

Fake domains offer Windows 11 installers - but deliver malware instead

Quote:Security researchers have found a new collection of phishing domains offering up fake Windows 11 installers that actually deliver information-stealing malware.

Cybersecurity firm Zscaler said that newly registered domains appeared in April 2022 and have been designed to mimic the legitimate Microsoft Windows 11 OS download portal.

'Warez' sites containing pirate material, including software and games, are notorious as hotbeds of malicious malware packages, including Trojans, information stealers, adware, and nuisanceware.

New Windows 11 privacy feature lists apps that used your microphone, camera

Quote:Microsoft has recently added a new privacy feature that allows Windows 11 users to get a list of all the apps that have recently accessed their sensitive info and devices, including their camera, microphone, and contacts.

Added in one of the June Windows 11 Preview Builds, it can now be tested by Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Besides requests to access the users' contacts, the newly included privacy feature also keeps track of apps that have accessed other sensitive information linked to your location, phone calls, messaging, and screenshots in the last week.

The list of nosy apps is available via the Windows 11 Settings app, under Privacy & security > App permissions as a "Recent activity" drop-down menu that will show up for every tracked category of information.

Once clicked, it will display every instance one of the apps installed on your systems that has recently accessed sensitive devices and information.

While the list includes information on the last time the resource has been accessed by the app, clicking each entry doesn't provide additional information.

Other information that might be helpful in cases when, for instance, malicious apps or malware would gain access to your contacts or spy on you through your microphone or camera would include file paths, process names, and process IDs.

Even though Microsoft is yet to officially reveal this new privacy feature in a Windows Insider blog, the new capability was unveiled on Thursday by David Weston, Microsoft's VP for Enterprise and OS Security, in a tweet.

In April, Microsoft also announced that Windows 11 is getting enhanced phishing protection against targeted phishing attacks with the help of Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, the company's cloud-based anti-phishing and anti-malware service.

Another feature dubbed Personal Data Encryption will protect users' files and data while not logged in by blocking access until they authenticate via Windows Hello.

Hands on with Windows 11's new Task Manager

Quote:Windows 11 version 22H2 is arriving soon and it won't be a massive release, but there will be several quality improvements and bug fixes. Microsoft has already confirmed the features coming to Windows 11 with version 22H2 and users can test them by joining the Windows Insider Program.

One of the new features is the redesigned Task Manager. In Windows 11 22H2, Microsoft has refreshed Task Manager with a new design based on Fluent UI and WinUI.

As you can see in the above and below screenshots, the new Task Manager ditches the classic interface for a new hamburger menu layout. Options like "Processes, Performance, App History, Startup apps, Users, Details, and services" have been moved to the hamburger menu on the left side.

This would make the Task Manager easily accessible on touchscreen devices.

The top area of the Task Manager now displays the brand and name of the device, its model (if available), a picture of the device, and CPU or RAM being used.

In addition to a new design, Task Manager is also getting Efficiency mode. This is a new feature that would give you options to ensure certain running processes won’t stress the CPU out, leading to faster foreground responsiveness and better energy efficiency.
