Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11 that will let you move hardware indicators pop-ups like volume and screen brightness to the top-left and top-center positions of a display. Currently, Windows 11 shows the volume, brightness, and airplane mode indicators in the bottom center of a screen. The new Recall homepage shows your top used apps and websites. The homepage shows recent snapshots as well as top apps or websites that have been used in the past 24 hours. Microsoft is currently testing these changes with Windows Insiders, so expect to see them appear more broadly in Windows 11 in the coming months.
