Windows 11
As Windows continues to evolve, we work hard to release updates and make the latest features available. Many computers on campus have been upgraded to Windows 11, or will be soon. At first glance, the desktop looks very different from Windows 10, but most elements of the Windows operating system are the same in Windows 11.

Taskbar
The biggest change to the Taskbar and Start Menu in Windows 11 is the Taskbar has been moved to the center. This can be changed in the Settings menu under Taskbar Behaviors.

Teams Chat

File Explorer
While navigating your files in Windows 11 through File Explorer, you may notice that it automatically groups your files together by date. To disable this grouping, click on Sort -> Group by and select "(None)".
Note: Unfortunately, this must be done to each folder individually - it cannot be done to all subfolders at the same time.
Windows Updates
ITS works hard to ensure that 香港六合彩资料 has a secure and reliable IT infrastructure. We thoroughly test new operating systems with 香港六合彩资料 technology before rolling out the latest version to all computers on campus.
We strive to make updates as seamless as possible, but there are a couple of things you can do to ensure a smooth upgrade when the need arises:
- Store your files in OneDrive (never your local hard drive).
University employees must be careful to protect confidential or restricted data. Before using OneDrive to send, store or share University information, review the听. - Begin using the new Microsoft Edge browser, and turn on the backup features to save your bookmarks.
- Collect all of your software and make a list for your TSP.
