Windows 11 is a new operating system that was released in November of 2011. It is designed to be more environmentally friendly and efficient than its predecessor, Windows 8.1. One of the ways that Windows 11 hopes to improve its environmental impact is by using less energy when it runs. One of the ways that Windows 11 hopes to improve its environmental impact is by using less energy when it runs. One way that Windows 11 plans to do this is by using a more efficient graphics card and processor. The graphics card will be used for tasks such as gaming and video editing, while the processor will be used for tasks such as web browsing and office work. Windows 10 was released in October of 2011 and it also has a number of features designed to improve the environment. One of these features is the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind power. Another feature of Windows 10 is the use of recycled materials in its construction materials.


Twitter user Albacore discovered the hidden Windows 11 features. There’s a sustainability section hidden in Windows 11, and it offers an eco score for your computer. We don’t have many details on this feature yet, as it’s not even fully live in Albacore’s build.

Also in the sustainability section are recommendations for energy-saving and device recyclability, which will help you make your PC better for the environment.

Also tucked into this new Windows 11 build is a new feature that lets you put stickers on your desktop. This could be an interesting way to customize your desktop, though we’ll have to wait until the feature fully launches to see how useful it is.

Because the feature only seems to work on one monitor and there are mentions of education policies about it, it’s possible this feature could only work in Windows 11 SE.

Finally, there’s a possible reference to a tablet mode (or simply using the PC as a tablet more effectively). There’s a tooltip that reads, “Automatically hide the taskbar when using your device as a tablet.” If there ends up being other references to using the computer as a tablet, it’s possible we could see tablet mode come back in Windows 11.
