8. WINDOWS 11 INTERFACE
8.1 Desktop
Multiple desktops are great for keeping unrelated, ongoing projects organized, or
for quickly switching desktops before a meeting.
To create multiple desktops, do the following steps:
1. On the taskbar, select Task view > New desktop;
2. Open the apps you want to use on that desktop;
3. To switch between desktops, select Task view again.
You can also choose different backgrounds for each desktop.
To change a background:
4. Right-click on the desktop you want to change;
5. Select Choose background;
6. Select a solid color, picture, or slideshow.
8.2 Taskbar
Use the taskbar for more than seeing your apps and checking the time. You can
personalize it in many ways - change the color, pin your favorite apps to it, and
move or rearrange taskbar buttons. You can also check your battery status and
minimize all open programs momentarily so that you can look at your desktop.
Start Menu
To open the Start menu, you can either click on the Windows icon (which
is also known as Start button) located at the left end of the taskbar or press
once on the windows key of the keyboard. Once opened a list of features will
be available.
Search box - Cortana
Cortana is available on Windows 11 as an app. To access or open Cortana,
click on the Start button to bring up the search box. In the search box, type in
'Cortana'. This should bring up the Cortana app screen.
