I\u2019ve just spent an hour spinning the gear in Windows 11\u2019s new Notepad app. Reddit users<\/a> discovered this delightful addition to Windows 11 recently, and as a daily Notepad user I\u2019m addicted. Not on the level of my 1990s Solitaire <\/em>addiction, but I can\u2019t seem to stop spinning this damn gear every time I open Notepad now. Spin, spin, spin<\/em>.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why Microsoft added this tiny animation that most people will never discover, but I love this little Windows Easter egg. It\u2019s not limited to Notepad either. The latest test versions of Windows 11 include a new Task Manager UI<\/a>, and there\u2019s a gear you can spin there too. That means every time I go to force crash an app in Task Manager, I\u2019m gonna spend more time than I should spinning the little gear in the corner.<\/p>\n
\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
    <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/span><\/p>\n
    You can also spin the gear in the new Windows 11 Task Manager.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nI shouldn\u2019t really be surprised that this exists, because Microsoft does love a good Easter egg. The company celebrated 20 years of Xbox last year with secret symbols<\/a> on its limited edition controllers and Xbox Series X console. Clippy also replaced Cortana<\/a> in a Windows Phone Easter egg, and a SkiFree<\/em>-like surfing game made its way into Microsoft Edge a couple of years ago. <\/p>\n
\n<\/aside>\nSome of Microsoft\u2019s Easter eggs are so well hidden that they don\u2019t get discovered for decades. A 20-year-old Xbox Easter egg<\/a> was discovered last year, just weeks after another hidden prompt was found in Windows 95<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Now, if you email or tweet me and wonder why I haven\u2019t replied… I\u2019m probably busy spinning a gear in Notepad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
