There are several ways to prevent Windows 10 from going into sleep mode (or sleeping). You can use the built-in tools or one of many third-party alternatives. This article will show you how to prevent Windows 10 from sleeping.

Windows 11 comes with many new features and improvements, among which there are several new keyboard shortcuts. So far, Microsoft released only one official preview build, so in the future, the list of new keyboard shortcuts in Windows 11 may expand.

On June 28th, 2021, Microsoft released the first official Windows 11 preview build to the public. Windows 11 comes with a huge list of new features and UI improvements that will make users happy and excited about Windows again. As is always the case with pre-release software, early Windows 11 builds contain bugs, instabilities, and rough surfaces. Microsoft has published the official list of known bugs in Windows 11, plus enthusiasts managed to find workarounds for other hiccups you may encounter while testing the new OS from Microsoft.

Following the public release of the first preview build of Windows 11, Microsoft provided more information about the system's hardware requirements. According to the official documentation from Microsoft, Windows 11 officially supports devices with Intel 8th gen / AMD Ryzen 3000 processors and up. Still, some of Microsoft's employees showed their Surface Studio 2 with Intel 7th gen CPU running Windows 11 without any issues. The latest blog post from Microsoft explains the situation.

During the Windows 11 event last week, Microsoft did not tell the exact day on which it plans to ship the new operating system to the public. All we got is mere "this holiday" without much detail. Still, some titbits from the official presentation already point at a possible launch day.

One of Microsoft's Windows 11 promo videos that shows the new OS with its redesigned parts reveals a message notification in Microsoft Teams. Stevie Bathiche, one of the Surface engineers at Microsoft, sends Panos Panay a message with the following text: "Good luck today, Panos! Excited to turn it up to 11... can't wait for October!"

A message might hint at a potential Surface event in October 2021, during which Microsoft will unveil new Surface computers running Windows 11 out-of-box. Microsoft can combine two events and launch Windows 11 alongside new devices.

Windows 11, a brand-new operating system from Microsoft, is coming for free this year for all compatible Windows 10 devices. Microsoft has already shared a lot of information about hardware requirements, which, in turn, sparked tremendous confusion among users. According to Microsoft, Windows 11 officially supports computers with 8th gen Intel and 2nd gen AMD CPUs. Another crucial requirement is Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support, or simply TPM 2.0. Many users question the weird spec sheet that renders any computer older than three years old obsolete and unqualified for the upgrade. That is particularly strange, considering that Apple's macOS Monterey supports devices released back in 2013.

You can change Device Usage in Windows 10, an option that defines the device usage pattern. According to your settings, Windows will customize tips and install apps which work best for your tasks.
