in this session of the windows 11 tutorial i'm going to go over opening an application and
managing an application from windows 11. now this is a very basic concept that most of you have used
but yet if somebody is for the first time trying to understand the windows 11 operating system
this would potentially help so to launch an application if if the application is
already on the taskbar you can simply click on it and single click and it will open up
for example here microsoft edge if i wanted to open an application from the start menu
you just simply click on start and then pick the application from here or under the all
apps so in that case i'm simply finding it and clicking on it and then launching it
if the application is also listed on the desktop and you want to launch it from the desktop
here you'd have to double click instead of single clicking and that will perform the same functions
one of the features in windows 11 in any application actually is that on the top right here
typically you have these controls now on a macbook or in a mac os those controls would be on the left
hand side you can minimize this app by clicking on the little minus icon on the bottom left and it
will bring it down to the taskbar and you can get a preview or relaunch it by clicking on it again
the other option here is this minimize maximize option what you see here on the
screen this is the new feature in windows 11 and this allows you with the emergence of the larger
desktops you simply hold the mouse on the icon here on the middle one and then you can
select to park this application in half of your screen or a certain position of your screen so
if i want to adjust on the bottom right top corner fourth of the screen i'll click on this and now
it's only on that part of the screen and then i can have something else on a different part
of the screen so that's another option where you can adjust the display depending on what you want
to close the application you can simply click here on the x on the top right and that is standard
with other versions of the windows now in some cases when you're working on an application it
crashed on you and you just need to somehow make sure to close it without rebooting the
computer one of the ways to do that is to access or to close the application from the taskbar so
let's say the application is here somehow it's misbehaving now i need to get to the taskbar to
close it to access a taskbar and by the way this has changed you right click here on the windows
icon and you click on task manager or you can simply go to the search option and type
task manager and now this will give you typically something like this it will show up task manager
and the apps that you currently have opened so if i wanted to end this application forcefully
i'll click on the application and then choose end task in some cases that application may
not show up in this list and then in that case you can click here on more details
and then find the application and choose end task to find it you click here on processes
