Windows 11 introduces a warning system if it detects problematic configurations
Table of contents:
Little by little some of the new options offered by Windows 11 continue to emerge thanks to the arrival of the first test versions within the Insider Program. New features among which a system that warns the user if they have any type of configuration that harms the performance of the equipment stands out
From Windows 11 we already know its new start, center and floating menus or the new dialog boxes that leave behind the flavor of Windows 8. They are aesthetic improvements above all, while in this case it is a more functional improvement.
A more proactive Windows 11
When we buy a PC and in the same way that it happens with other electronic devices, they have a series of default configurations that seek to optimize performance. Settings that the user can alter to suit their taste and this is where this new feature comes in.
"It has been on Reddit where they have discovered how Windows 11 offers a notification within the Settings application>if it detects that any change has been made to the computer&39;s settings that may harm the performance. This notice is an alert that invites the user to revert the changes."
This can occur if, for example, the default power settings or screen usage is changed.Depending on whether or not you use the battery or are connected to the network, if the system detects that the combination may cause excessive consumption of energy, it even offers an alert about it.
As noted in Windows Latest, these prompts include an action button that makes it easy to return to the recommended settings and thus avoid that we have to navigate through the options again.
Expiring subscriptions and SSD failures
In addition, the alert system will not limit itself to issuing warnings if it detects that a configuration is not adequate. This system will be useful to alert the user if, for example, a subscription is about to expire, and the example they cite is Microsoft 365.These notices will appear on the Settings app home page.
In addition, Windows 11 also has a feature that will notify users with an NVMe SSD if the drive has problems hardware in order to avoid major problems. An alert through the Settings app and notification center inviting you to back up your SSD data.
This option, however, only works on NVMe solid-state drives, although Microsoft may add support for more drives in the future .
