How to Check How Much Screen Time You Spend on Windows 11
In the digital age, we find ourselves spending more and more time in front of screens. Windows 11, the latest operating system from Microsoft, has introduced a new feature that enables users to see how much time they spend on their device. Knowing how much time you spend in front of your screen can have a positive impact on your physical and mental health, as well as your productivity.
Here are the steps to check how much screen time you spend on Windows 11:
Step 1: Click on the ‘Start’ button on the taskbar or press the Windows button on your keyboard, either will bring up the Start Menu.
Step 2: Click on ‘Settings’ (gear icon).
Step 3: Click on ‘Time & Language’ from the left-hand side of the window.
Step 4: Next, click on ‘Screen time’ from the options on the right-hand side of the window.
Step 5: You will now see a screen time breakdown with an overview of your total time spent on your device in the last 24 hours. You will also see your screen time history along with the breakdown of apps and websites that you have been using the most.
Step 6: To view more detailed information on your screen time breakdown, click on ‘View activity details’. This will show you the percentage of time spent on each app and website, as well as the exact amount of time spent on each.
In addition to showing you how much time you spend on apps and websites, Windows 11 also allows you to set limits on how much time you spend on them. This feature is particularly useful for parents who want to limit the amount of time their children spend in front of screens.
To set a limit on an app or website, simply click on it in the screen time breakdown and select the ‘Set limit’ option. You can then choose a daily time limit for that app or website.
