A Windows 11 tester<\/a> did some digging and found a bunch of hidden features in the latest Windows 11 Insider build, including one that may show how eco-friendly your computer is. These features haven\u2019t been officially announced, but hopefully, they will become official soon.<\/p>\n

Twitter user\u00a0Albacore<\/a> discovered the hidden Windows 11 features. There\u2019s a\u00a0sustainability section hidden in Windows 11, and it offers an eco score for your computer. We don\u2019t have many details on this feature yet, as it\u2019s not even fully live in\u00a0Albacore\u2019s build.<\/p>\n

Also in the\u00a0sustainability section are recommendations for energy-saving and device recyclability, which will help you make your PC better for the environment.<\/p>\n

A few more improvements coming to Windows 11 ?

Also tucked into this new Windows 11 build is a new feature that lets you put\u00a0stickers on your desktop. This could be an interesting way to customize your desktop, though we\u2019ll have to wait until the feature fully launches to see how useful it is.<\/p>\n

Because the feature only seems to work on one monitor and there are mentions of education policies about it, it\u2019s possible this feature could only work in\u00a0Windows 11 SE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, there\u2019s a possible reference to a tablet mode (or simply using the PC as a tablet more effectively). There\u2019s a tooltip that reads, \u201cAutomatically hide the taskbar when using your device as a tablet.\u201d If there ends up being other references to using the computer as a tablet, it\u2019s possible we could see tablet mode<\/a> come back in Windows 11.<\/p>\n
