Have a Samsung phone and PC? You need the new Galaxy Connect Windows app

The user expanded their Samsung ecosystem with a Galaxy Book 4 Edge and tested the Galaxy Connect application, which includes four features: Continue on other devices, Storage Share, Multi Control, and Second Screen. Multi Control allows users to connect their Samsung phone or tablet as a secondary display, enabling seamless control of the mobile device from the primary display. The Second Screen feature lets users utilize a Galaxy tablet as a wireless display for their Windows computer, reducing lag by connecting directly. Storage Share provides access to files on Samsung devices from the PC's File Explorer, and the Continue on other devices feature syncs the clipboard for easier two-factor authentication. Users with ARM-based PCs may face limitations, and some without Intel network adapters have reported issues with Galaxy Connect's functionality.

Windows 11’s Notification Center opens on secondary display, gets a clock and more

Windows 11's September 2025 Update (KB5065789) enhances the taskbar, particularly for users with multiple displays. The Notification Center can now open on secondary displays, improving workflow by allowing access to notifications, calendar, and Do Not Disturb settings directly from either screen. Previously, the Notification Center only launched on the primary display when using Extend mode, which was inconvenient for productivity. The update also allows users to right-click the system tray clock to access Date and Time settings and Notification preferences. Additionally, users can enable a full clock display in the Notification Center and collapse the Calendar for a more compact view. This update is available for both Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2 versions.
