I've just had a new PC with Win 11 installed and I'm really struggling. Can anyone please advice how to create shortcuts to pages such as Facebook? On my Win 10 I had a bar at the top of the page that said 'Saved' and all the shortcuts were in there and it was just a case of clicking on one.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
They might be in "widgets" on win 11. But anything I want quick access to, is pinned to the taskbar.

Any help on how pin such as Gmail or Facebook to the Task Bar please Paul? Do you know if the Task Bar should hide itself out of sight as in Windows 10, mine stays at the bottom of the screen all the time no matter what I'm doing.

In the browser Toni.

Like tabs? Go into browser settings and select something like when the browser starts re-open tabs from last time.

It's in settings (you can search settings for this) settings/personalisation/task bar behaviours. In this context, Facebook & Gmail must have been applications - download them from the microsoft app store as you must have done (possibly without realising) previously. When you run them, right click on them in the task bar & select pin to taskbar.

If you go to all apps from the start menu. Right click, then "pin to task bar". As for it dropping out of sight, right click on it. I can't remember exactly where, but it's there :)
