Windows 11 is getting a new feature that will let you suggest actions to your computer when you see something you want to do but don’t know how to do it. The new feature is called “Suggested Actions.” You can find the feature in the “Tools” menu, and it will look like this: The first thing you’ll need to do is create a new task. You can do this by going to the “Task” menu and selecting “New Task.” Then, name your task something unique and click on the “Create” button. Now that you’ve created a new task, you’ll need to add some information about it. In this case, you’ll need to provide a name for your task, an description of what it’s supposed to do, and a location for it. You can also provide a start time and end time for your task. Click on the “Add Info” button and then click on the “Create Task” button again. Now that your task has been created, you’ll need to add some information about it in the “Details” section. In this section, you’ll need to provide a name for your task, an description of what it’s supposed to do, and a location for it. You can also provide a start time and end time for your task. Click on the “Add Info” button and then click on the “Create Task” button again. Now that your task has been created, you’ll need to add some information about it in the “Details” section. In this section, you’ll need to provide a name for your task, an description of what it’s supposed to do, and a location for it. You can also provide a start time and end time for your task. Click on the “Add Info” button and then click on the “Create Task” button again.
Suggested Actions have been in testing since at least May 2022, but they are now rolling out to everyone with Windows 11. When your PC detects phone numbers or future dates in text, they are highlighted, and clicking on them reveals a few buttons with relevant actions.
Microsoft explained in a blog post, “for instance, when there are phone numbers or future dates in text, Windows highlights them, making it easy to click and call with Phone Link, Teams or Skype, or click to schedule an appointment, adding an event in your Calendar app and including the person you were communicating with on your invite.”
The new functionality is another instance of Windows bridging the gap with mobile platforms. Many web browsers already turn phone numbers into tappable links, and both iPhone and Android show actions (such as copying or searching the web for the phrase) when you select text. Keyboard shortcuts and context menus can already provide a similar role, but the new Windows 11 feature works across the system.
