How much do you know about Windows 11 and its operating system? Are you familiar with its taskbar? Can you enable or disable it without help? Find out.
In Brief
Whenever a new operating system comes out in the market, it is estimated to be bigger and better than its predecessors and rightfully so. Windows 11 is considered to be a superior version of Windows 10, Windows 7, and others that has become quite popular since its launch.
While people with an affinity for technology and gadgets can immediately tell whether a newly released device or system is worthy of their time/money or not, common users are unable to tell if the new device is good or not.
Speaking of common folks, it is even difficult for them to understand the meaning of a taskbar, sound bar, tabs, app folders, etc. although they will definitely know the basics. Then there are beginners that are totally new to the tech field and it takes time for them to understand everything from start to finish.
It is to the credit of Windows 11 that it keeps coming out with new features at regular intervals and the latest one is the Windows 11 22H2 build or, in simple terms, the Windows 11 2022 update, which it is now rolling out to its users.
Most of their features have been well received by the general public in large numbers like, for example, the ability to use tabs in file explorer, which is the overflow menu in Taskbar, Start menu’s app folders, along with many more.
With the new update, Microsoft has released many more features although most are hidden behind the feature flags. As mentioned above, someone who is not that tech savvy would not know the process on how to enable the taskbar in Windows 11.
You have multiple pinned apps in the taskbar due to which you will get an Overflow menu to access all these pinned apps and the following steps will help you to understand on how enabling is done.
Steps
One of the well known steps for enabling the Windows 11 Taskbar is the use of ViveTool, which is an open source tool that is free of charge through which you can turn on the experimental features on Windows 11. If you don’t have ViveTool, then download it immediately from the GitHub page
Next, you go to your Windows 11 PC and extract the ZIP File where you first go to the downloaded file option, right-click, and choose ‘Extract All’ option, following which you click ‘Next’, so that all the files are immediately extracted from the folder
Once it is done, you now right-click on the extracted folder and select ‘Copy as Path’ so that the folder path is immediately copied on the clipboard
Now you open the Start Menu and search ‘CMD’, where you will see Command Prompt pop up quickly in the results and you need to click on ‘Run as administrator’ in the right pane
In the Command Prompt Window, you now type ‘cd’ and add a space, following which you right-click on the CMD window to paste the directory path copied from above and then press ‘Ctrl + V’ to paste the address
Now you have to ‘run the below command’ for enabling the taskbar overflow menu on your Windows 11 PC
Upon closing the prompt window, you need to restart your computer so that all the changes are applied and once done, you will now see the Overflow menu on your Taskbar
How much do you prefer the Windows 11 OS? Do you think it is better than Windows 11 or don’t you? Are you aware of its features like Fast Startup? Find out.
In Brief
Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Microsoft that has been received extremely well by the vast majority of people, while it has also been called a heavy and bloated OS model, which is why many users feel that its speed is quite slow in comparison to Windows 10 and previous models.
Microsoft has been regularly upgrading its features so that viewers get their money’s worth and don’t become bored of monotony because it has happened in the past that many users have become disillusioned with an OS as they feel its features are the same as its predecessors.
Microsoft is, therefore, leaving no stone unturned so as to not repeat the mistakes of other brands and has been working extremely hard to make Windows 11 faster to use and boot, where one of the techniques is called ‘Fast Startup’.
For starters, Fast Startup is a way that will allow users to start their computer at a faster speed than usual after a shutdown, while its main aim is to make Windows 11 faster to boot, which’ll allow users to log in immediately and begin with their work right away.
When you enable fast startup in Windows 11 and shutdown your computer, Windows logs you out off all your user accounts and closes all the programs that are running on the PC at the moment.
For disabling Fast Startup, you need to follow certain steps to make sure that it has been enabled because it sometimes happens that many users are unaware about the feature being enabled and they need to rectify this problem immediately.
Disabling Steps
The first step is to press the Windows 11 keyboard shortcut, ‘Windows + R’, to open ‘Run prompt’, following which you enter powercfg.cpl and press ‘Enter’
The power options will be opened up on the Control panel where you now click on ‘Choose what power buttons do’ in the left sidebar
Once it is done, you click on ‘Change settings that are currently unavailable’ so that admin gets permission to do so
Now, you need to have the checkbox disabled, which is next to ‘Turn on fast startup (recommended)’ so that the feature is immediately disabled, following which you click on ‘Save changes’ at the bottom
Enabling process is similar to disabling process, where you simply have to follow the aforementioned steps and ‘enable the checkbox’ and click on ‘Save Changes’, so that the process is complete
Are you fond of playing games? What is your favourite gaming venture? What genre of games do you prefer?
In Brief
There has been a massive upsurge of popularity when it comes to mobile games, especially in the past two years ever since the nationwide lockdown happened due to Covid-19 and people were confined to the four walls of their house for a period of 6 to 8 months.
What is it about games that attracts us to it right from a young age? We all become addicted to games from childhood itself and anyone belonging to the 80s and 90s generation can vouch for the fact that their lives revolved around Play Stations and video games.
That was the time when arcade games were extremely popular all over the world, which is defined as the game that takes the players’ input from its controls, which is processed through components that are computerized and electrical in nature.
During the 90s and 2000s, we had games like Super Mario, Dangerous Dave, Swat Kats, Ninja Turtles, Pokemon Adventures, and many more, which are considered the crème-da-la-crème of games that continue to be popular with that generation.
Even today, you can find many 80s and 90s gen folks, who’re well into their 20s and 30s but have not lost the passion that they had for these games then, which is why they never lose an opportunity to take time out and play for long hours to their heart’s content.
Now, everything has changed as this is the era of mobile games, which are dime a dozen in terms of genres and are beloved by the millennial generation, and anyone that owns an Android or Apple device can gain access to these games in large numbers.
Whether it is an action adventure or a regular one, these games are the cream of the crop when you’re looking for entertainment as the main quotient. Let’s look at some of the best arcade games for Android smartphones that users can avail.
Angry Birds– This is one of the most popular ventures and Best Arcade Games for Android that we have today, where players have to control a flock of multi coloured birds whose task is to retrieve their eggs that have been stolen by a bunch of hungry, green-coloured pigs. The gameplay consists of numerous stages where you will find dozens of structures made of stone, glass, and wood that shield the enemy pigs where the players’ job is to eliminate all of them at each level via a slingshot and win rewards in return
Asphalt 9 Legends– If you’re a fan of racing, then this game will be right up your alley because it has all the ingredients that make it an excellent racing game and it won’t be an exaggeration to say that when you make a list of the best arcade racer franchises in mobile, Asphalt 9 Legends will be somewhere at the top. It has competent graphics while the controls too are easy enough to understand and manage through, which is why it is so popular since the innumerable missions make it an exciting adventure where, in the process, you get to unlock numerous cars, along with an online PvP mode, but there are many players that opine that the controls were better in the previous venture of the game
Bullet Hell Monday– This venture is a good one for those who prefer action adventures that involves a massive shooter that shoots back at the enemy camp that is shooting at the players, and they are pretty good shots as they’re able to fire many bullets that rarely miss their target. But the game itself is highly entertaining with more than 50 levels, four difficulties, three game modes, and an online leaderboard.
Crossy Road– When it comes to popularity, it is hard to find an alternative to Crossy Road, which is why many people consider to be the Frogger of the millennial generation, where the characters have to move across the roads, rivers, train tracks, mountains, and many other areas. The players’ job is to simply avoid being crushed, run over by vehicles, or get drowned in the river, while there are a multitude of characters that players can choose to play from
Temple Run– This venture is a good option for those that prefer running in 3D format, which has spawned its own franchise that involves an explorer chased from demon monkeys, who form a group to attack the protagonist, who has to then defend himself and work out a strategy to go through all the difficult levels inside
Jetpack Joyride– Another action adventure that the genres’ fans will be excited to know about that involves side-scrolling where the players’ job is to control Barry Steakfries who, incidentally, is the same protagonist as the one in ‘Monster Dash’ where you get a lab of Legitimate Research in a high flying adventure with excellent graphics that will keep you on the tenterhooks if you’re main objective is to simply kill time
Pac-Man– Now this one involves applying your brains rather than brawns because its theme is based on a maze that contains innumerable dots called Pac-dots, where you get to enjoy it in classic mode format where the main goal is to keep yourself safe from the enemies and win rewards but the tournament is quite challenging to handle and it is one of the Best Arcade Games for Android.
Subway Surfers– This is another game that involves running where players become graffiti artists run through the railroad tracks upon being caught ‘tagging’ a metro railway site and have to run through the tracks to escape the pursuing inspector and his dog, whilst simultaneously grabbing gold coins, power-ups, along with many other souvenirs
Stack Ball– This is a 3D adventure involving players that bump, crash, bounce, and smash through revolving helix platforms that might look imagine or when done on paper, but it isn’t because the ball itself smashes through the colourful platforms that also blocks its descent, where the game is over if you hit a black one
Alto’s Adventure– If you’re fond of cold weather, then you should definitely try this one out, which has been classified as a snowboarding, endless runner game where the player moves to the right automatically through generated landscapes, where you, as the player, have to tap the screen and perform tricks so as to move further towards your goals, and get high scores, along with the regular rewards
OPPO is one of the leading global smart device brands in the world that has acquired a tremendous reputation in the past few years and continues to enjoy a significant following in India.
It has just launched it Diwali campaign, which goes along with its motto #InspirationAhead and it is this brand of positivity that shines a spotlight on the ad film and provides a platform for those who think and do things differently to make way for a positive change.
There haven’t been too many Diwali based films in India, which is quite surprising given the significance it has on the country and its people, even though there have been countless Indian films where Diwali has been celebrated but nothing, as yet, when the festival itself was the core plot.
This ad film is being helmed by Alok Kulkarni, who is the director and the scene begins with a phone call complaint to a parent as his child has landed in trouble at school for incessant doodling all over the premises while the mother is utterly annoyed by his behaviour, which is why he needs to mend his ways.
The story then cuts to their housing society, which is in poor condition and is full of seen/unseen potholes all around, as a result of which there have been multiple instances of the young and old getting injured from them. Surprisingly, it is the the child that comes up with a creative and innovative idea to tackle the problem.
This is why he has been working with his friends to doodle around the potholes with fluorescent markers so that residents will get help in navigating them and avoid getting injured.
The film’s main theme is #InspirationAhead, which sends a message about how an innovative mind can come up with an out-of-the-box solution to a regular problem, which is something that everyone has to come up with by simply applying their mind and keeping calm while solving said problem.
There is an interesting message that is given at the end of the film, which is ‘be the light that inspires’, that been portrayed aptly throughout the whole venture, where it inspire others to relook at their way of looking at things.
To celebrate the festive occasion of Diwali, OPPO wants to provide gifts to its customers, which is why it has announced special offers for them across India, which is something that tech companies should do once in a while during big festivals.

What are your plans for Diwali 2022? Have you started the preparations? Are you in favour of crackers?
In Brief
Diwali, along with Holi, is the most popular festival in India that has been celebrated since time immemorial and is now ready to come out on October 24, 2022, while the entire country, as usual, started its celebrations a month early.
Diwali is called the festival of lights for a reason and it isn’t just because we all burst crackers and light lamps but because it is one where the entire family gets together and forget bitterness and ill-will.
The fervour for Diwali celebrations is so high that it can be felt palpably everywhere you go as the shops are slowly lighting up with souvenirs, candles, lamps, crackers, along with the regular sweets and confectionaries we expect during the festive season.
Google too has decided to celebrate the occasion in its own unique way because it plans on a surprise for its users this Diwali, which is why it has come out with a strange but unique proposal.
The tech giant wants users to type ‘Diwali’ in the search engine box on its Indian page where users will get to see something different. Upon doing it, many users found that a range of results on the website where at the very top was one with the word ‘Diwali’ with a lamp with ‘Festivity’ written below.
Once you click on the lamp, your entire screen fills up with many bright and shining lamps with sparkling stars behind them. When you move the cursor, one of the lamps goes all around the screen, which is an exquisite piece of animation that appears on searching ‘Diwali 2022’ as well.
Not only on your PC, but users can avail the same results on Google Mobile app as well in both Android and Apple devices.
Steps
Upon opening Google search, you need to search for ‘Diwali’ or ‘Diwali 2022’ following which the results will pop up within seconds that will display Diwali written on top with a burning earthen lamp (diya), which you click and move the cursor on the screen, which then gets filled with light.
What are your expectations regarding 5G services in India? Do you think it will succeed? Will 5G technology bring in a new revolution in the tech field?
In Brief
India finally witnessed the launch of 5G on October 1, 2022, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 5G technology at the Indian Mobile Congress (IMC) held in New Delhi, which was attended by many dignitaries of the tech industry where the anticipation could be felt palpably.
It was after a long wait that 5G coverage was witnessed in India where many big telecom companies like Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, along with many others, rolled out 5G Network in all the major cities of India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, among others.
With new technology, you also get new terminology in your vocabulary where you need to know the terms to convey to others that you’re talking about this particular thing, especially when it comes to the tech field.
There are some people that have no idea about these terms because either they have not learnt about them or aren’t interested in learning. A primary reason is because common people are not able to understand the jargons and technical language that are quite complex to pronounce and learn.
But rest assured, that 5G technology is no rocket science when it comes to terminology and it will only make things less complicated for common folks that are interested in learning more about it.
Before jumping into 5G terminology, it is important for users to know about 4G, which is the predecessor of 5G, which brought a bigger difference in data speed when compared to 3G and played a significant role in the creation of app economy by bringing in a shift in the way internet was seen and accessed.
Many people call 5G as 4G technology on steroids, which means that not only can users avail a much faster internet connectivity and speed but also bring in cloud gaming to autonomous connected vehicles.
The first term here is Latency, which is defined as the delay between a data transfer request and its beginning, which could be the time before clicking on the link and the network starts sending data that it contains.
While the latency of 4G services is between 60 to 98 milliseconds, for 5G services it is under 5 milliseconds, which many experts claim to be even less at around one millisecond but it still hasn’t been confirmed
Network Slicing is the next one in the list, which are small spectra parts that are specifically reserved for specific devices depending on their required connection i.e. a cellular tower can give a lower band with slower connection to a smart electricity meter whilst also offering faster and higher power, along with low latency 5G connection to an autonomous car.
Millimetre (mmWave) 5G is another term that will be used along with the arrival of 5G that refers to a 5G spectrum of high frequency that falls between 24 and 100GHz, which will be used when referring to high broadband speeds.
The one drawback of mmWave is that it is quite fickle in nature and becomes susceptible to interference that will hamper your internet connection and make it unstable.
Then we have the Mid-band frequency spectra that comes somewhere between mmWave and low band frequencies where users can get a compromise between low band frequencies at high range and mmWave 5G at high speed.
