Windows 10 is getting a very useful Windows 11 feature

There’s no denying the Windows 11 has a lot of really cool new features.

If you haven’t made the move from Windows 10 yet, you’re missing out.

But there’s good news. To make the (eventual) move from Windows 10 to 11 a little easier, Microsoft is sharing a couple of 11’s most useful features.

The first should make printing a little easier. We can hear your cheers from here! Anything that makes printing easier is OK in our book too. Printers don’t have a terrible reputation for nothing…

This feature makes printing PIN-protected. That means when you want to print a document, you’ll send it off to the printer – but it’ll only print when you’ve reached the printer and entered your PIN.

This removes the risk of you printing something confidential and leaving it on the printer for everyone to see.

Or accidentally printing several copies of the same document. Yes, this will reduce paper waste.

And that’s not all…

There’s a second really useful feature coming over to Windows 10. It’s called Focus Assist and works alongside do not disturb.

Switching on do not disturb is great when you want a little uninterrupted time to finish a task or do some research. But if you use it a lot, you might miss a notification that you really needed to see.

Focus Assist stops that from happening. You use it alongside do not disturb and it still allows important and time-sensitive notifications and messages to reach you.

These features have been in testing since June this year. There’s still no date for when they’ll be released to everyone with Windows 10. But they’re on their way.

If you can’t wait to try more of the time saving and productivity boosting features that Windows 11 has to offer, give us a call to see how we can help you make the switch.

May I take this opportunity in thanking you for your prompt action in dealing with our hardware problem last week. We were in jeopardy of not being able to pay some clients employees at the end of last month and although we needed to work additional hours we fulfilled our deadlines on time.

You don’t know how good it is not having SPAM arriving every 3 minutes! I’ve received no SPAM since 4pm yesterday ... nothing in my Inbox, Junk Mail folder or caught by the SPAM controls within Exchange. Perfect!

Having benefitted from Infinity’s support since 2013, we remain impressed with their technical ability and focused approach to keeping our IT systems updated and working as they should. After using a larger IT support company we chose Infinity because of their size, with them being big enough to cope, but small enough to care. We made the right choice - the quality of their service has always been excellent, and we’ve come to regard them as part of the team.

Unfortunately our business suffered a ransomware attack however thanks to Infinity’s support we were able to get by with minimal downtime. Rob and the team worked tirelessly throughout Friday and Monday and over the weekend to ensure we weren’t left negatively affected by the event. We were very glad for the great back ups and systems that we had invested in thanks to Infinity’s past recommendations.
