Freedom Scientific a Vispero brand an introduction to Windows 11 and JAWS i'm
going to start this lesson by introducing a couple of terminologies that i'll be using throughout
and these are things that you will see in windows 11 that we did not encounter in windows 10. so
they're not necessarily new features or even new concepts they're just new terminology that
we can apply to some things that you may you may already know actually but we'll see so we
used to have the action center in windows 10 that still exists in windows 11 but we'll also have a
notification center that we're going to talk about used to be within the action center now it's a
separate fly out so fly out is another terminology that we'll use or pop out and these are just the
little windows with rounded corners that you'll see slide out from the sides bottom top of the
screen in windows 11 give a very clean look and contain a lot of information and then the other
terminology i want to mention is something that liz has already mentioned and that is
the icons in the lower right hand corner of the screen visually they appear in the lower right
hand corner of this screen they usually give you status or information about apps sometimes
they would give notifications about your system as well we've always referred to this in jaws
as our system tray so i'll continue to refer to this as a system tray but be aware in windows
11 the settings and the way it's referred to have changed it is now task bar overflow
so you'll hear me say those things you'll hear me say flyouts you'll hear me say task bar
overflow and refer to the notification center the action center and throughout this lesson
so let's dive into the notification center what's changed mostly just the keyboard command i'm going
to press windows in to open my notification center let's listen windows 10 wednesday
december 29th button list box notifications for microsoft teams work or school collapsed
so you'll hear that there is a calendar here um the announced the date and
also the fact that i have some notifications from microsoft teams that are currently
collapsed and i can navigate this just like the action center with my arrows and the tab
to open this and expand it expand it i just press right arrow and then down arrow to go through the

getting out of our 10 30. and if i would like to tab to the next section in the notification center
expand this notification button one of three settings for this notification button two of three
i'm going to move through settings for each type of notification clear this notification button
three or three i'm presented with an option to clear them individually so this would just clear
the specific notification from teams wednesday december 29th button expand calendar button
and the only notifications i currently have in my notification center are from
microsoft teams and i know that because i've now encountered my calendar and it is
collapsed i don't want to have to tab all the way through that i usually leave it collapsed
clear all notifications clear all button and here i have the option to clear all of my notifications
which i am going to do enter wednesday december 29th button no new notifications
joss tells me no new notifications and now when i press windows in windows 10 desktop

that is the current notification center as it exists on windows 11. again you activate with
windows in you're able to use tab and the arrow keys to navigate through those notifications
and also you're presented with buttons within the notification center to change
the settings on those individual notifications if i'd like to take a peek at my action center
you're going to access it the exact same way you did in windows 10 with windows a
windows control center and you'll hear that this is referred to a little differently
as control center in many articles i've also seen it refer to as quick settings and let's take
a little tour through the control center slash quick settings i'm going to use tab manage wifi
