Obviously, AI its the most prominent feature, embedded everywhere in the system, but here are some that I think can really help and give the OS even more day to day added value:

• AI in Paint
• This one it's a cool one, and may give Paint a new live. You'll know be able to remove backgrounds directly from Paint
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Windows Backup
• The new tool will allow you to effortlessly bakcup your folders, apps, settings and credentials, and get them back when you reinstall or get a new computer.
  
  
• Passkeys
• This is a new evolution on Hello for Business. It's now integrated by default in the OS. Passkeys are the cross-platform future of secure sign-in management and eliminate the need for passwords. A passkey creates a unique, unguessable credential and allows you to sign in using your face, fingerprint or device PIN. On Windows 11, passkeys will work with Edge, Chrome, Firefox and other browsers.
  
  
  
• Mobile Application Management (MAM) for Windows
• After long time with MAM for Android and iOS, now it come to Windows where you can now allow your employees to user their personal Windows device but, with controlled access to company information.

3. Right-click the process and then select "Create live kernel memory dump file"

You now have the ability to add seconds to your Windows 11 clock in the taskbar.

To achieve that, just follow these steps:

1. Open Settings
   
   
2. Click on Personalization
   
   
3. Then click the Taskbar option on the right side

Windows 11 – tcpip.sys green screen of death (GSOD) [Solved]

Hello and greeting to everyone!

Trying to upgrade your machine to Windows 11 via Windows Insider and getting a green screen of death because something went wrong with tcpip.sys driver?

Ok, this one may not work for everyone, but at least for Portuguese readers that have installed Autenticação.Gov application just follow this tip.

Uninstall Autenticação.Gov before upgrading and…you’re done!

It seems strange but, I could not upgrade 3 different laptops (different models and different vendors) and now the upgrade runs like a charm!

Just hope AMA can fix this issue asap so I can fully install the app again.
