Dear Kulkarni,
Congratulations on your new Dell laptop with Windows 11! Regarding your questions about McAfee and Real-Time Scanning: It is generally not necessary to stop real-time scanning for installing or uninstalling software. The antivirus should handle legitimate installations without issue, and stopping the scanning would leave your system vulnerable during the process. However, since you are using a screen reader, I would strongly recommend considering uninstalling McAfee altogether. McAfee is known to be quite inaccessible with screen readers, which can make managing its settings very frustrating. A better, fully accessible, and free alternative is the built-in security software in Windows 11, called Microsoft Defender. It offers excellent protection, is seamlessly integrated, and works well with screen readers. How to Enable Microsoft Defender (if you uninstall McAfee): When you uninstall third-party antivirus software like McAfee, Microsoft Defender should automatically reactivate itself. However, you can check its status and settings by following these steps: 1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard. 2. Type "Windows Security" (without quotes) and press Enter. 3. The Windows Security app will open. The main screen should show green checkmarks next to all security areas, including "Virus & threat protection," indicating that Defender is active and running. 4. If it's not active, navigate to "Virus & threat protection" and look for the "Manage settings" link under "Virus & threat protection settings." Here you can ensure "Real-time protection" is toggled On. Commonly Used Keyboard Commands for Windows 11 and Office 2024: Here are some essential, widely-used shortcuts that are the same or very similar across many Windows and Office applications: Universal Windows & Office Commands: Ctrl + C: Copy selected item Ctrl + X: Cut selected item Ctrl + V: Paste copied or cut item Ctrl + Z: Undo the last action Ctrl + Y: Redo the last undone action Ctrl + S: Save the current file Ctrl + P: Print the current document or screen Alt + Tab: Switch between open applications Windows Key + L: Lock your computer Windows 11 Specific Commands: Windows Key: Open or close the Start Menu Windows Key + I: Open Settings Windows Key + D: Show/Hide the Desktop (minimizes all windows) Windows Key + E: Open File Explorer Windows Key + V: Open Clipboard History (very useful!)
