Windows 11 Introduces New Shortcuts for Enhanced Xbox Gaming Mode and Search Features

The latest Windows 11 Insider build introduces some impressive new search capabilities and quick settings specifically for Xbox mode. With the new Xbox shortcuts, you can easily manage Bluetooth, WiFi, and power settings without leaving your gaming experience.

The search enhancements are extensive. You can now filter results by files, actions, or web content. The search box also allows you to adjust screen brightness or volume and even interact with a connected phone, such as making calls. Additionally, search results provide more detailed information, including the last modified date and the author of a file, as well as charts for stock prices and weather updates. You can also help improve Windows 11 search by using the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icons to provide feedback on results.
