10 extremely interesting hidden features of Windows 11 that not everyone knows (P1)
While many of Windows 11’s features are widely publicized, they’re not always the most useful for advanced users. From keyboard shortcuts to hidden menus, there are many hidden Windows 11 features that make using Windows in general easier and more productive. If you are an advanced user, you may realize some of these features from Windows 10.
1. Secret Start Menu
Windows 11’s Start menu is nice enough, but all the cool features are in the secret Start menu. Although this already exists in Windows 10, many users have not discovered it yet. The menu includes some extremely useful shortcuts, such as Run, Windows Terminal, Disk Management, Power Options, Event Viewer, Task Manager…
You can access this menu by right-clicking the Start menu icon. It will appear in place of your normal Start menu.
2. Improved multitasking
Among Windows 11’s hidden features, multitasking is a real gem. Some settings are disabled by default, but multitasking gives you various ways to quickly access windows, snap windows, manage multiple desktops, and minimize everything except active window, which is quite useful if you tend to have a lot of windows open while working.
3. Taskbar Shortcuts
Taskbar shortcuts help access your most used apps and files faster. But what if you could just use a quick shortcut to open taskbar shortcuts?
All you have to do is memorize the order of the shortcuts. Press the Win key plus the corresponding number of the taskbar shortcut. For example, the keyboard shortcuts in the image below are:
Shortcut on taskbar
– Brave browser
– File Explorer
– Everything
– Cherry Notes
– LibreOffice Writer
– LibreOffice Calc
– Calculator
To open LibreOffice Writer, press Win + 5. Obviously, if you rearrange your shortcuts, the corresponding number will change. In addition, these numbers do not apply to the Start menu or the Widget icons on the taskbar.

4. App sound level adjustment
If you hate websites that randomly play ads or loud music, you’ll love this hidden Windows 11 feature. Instead of just quickly muting all sounds, adjust the sound at the application level. Volume Mixer allows you to change the sound level for individual applications without changing the overall system volume. So if you want Spotify to be loud but Chrome is silent, no problem.
There is one caveat when using the Volume Mixer. When you change the volume of the application, the application must open and have the sound playing. For example, you must open a YouTube video in your browser to display it. However, your sound preferences remain the same after you set them up.
5. Quick screenshot option
In fact, this also works well in Windows 10. While many users know about the Win + PrtScr or Print Screen button, some have never tried the Snipping Tool. This allows you to take a screenshot of just a desired part of the screen.
Open the Snipping Tool like any other application through the Start or Search menu. Alternatively, just press Win + Shift + S to get started, then simply draw the shape you want to capture.
Quick screenshot option
If you’re trying to take a screenshot of the Windows login screen, this won’t work. However, there is a workaround if you need screenshots for troubleshooting or instructions.
