That overly streamlined File Explorer implementation looks kind of sus, though.
I’m also interested in the smarter way the operating system will handle windows on displays that shut down-they won’t just all cram into your main monitor anymore, and will instead smartly minimize and reopen if you turn your second monitor back on. The Microsoft Store is receiving a sorely needed overhaul, too.Īs a nerd, I’m excited about how Windows 11’s Snap feature will include expanded functionality from Microsoft’s wonderful Fancy Zones PowerToy app.
You’ll be able to run Android apps in Windows 11 courtesy of Amazon’s app store, widgets are coming back, and exciting game-boosting technologies like Microsoft DirectStorage and AutoHDR will be baked into the operating system, as our guide to 7 new Windows 11 features we didn’t expect details. The changes aren’t just skin-deep though. And most of the core Windows apps you use every day are getting fresh paint and fresh functionality, too. You’ll notice the differences immediately upon booting up: Microsoft overhauled the look and feel of the operating system, with a new center-aligned taskbar and a simplified Start menu with no Live Tiles. Whenever ( if?) you wind up eligible for it, Windows 11 brings a lot of fresh features to the table.
Microsoft says new devices will get offered it first, with Windows 11 spreading to all eligible PCs by mid-2022.ĭon’t let those technical details take your eyes off the prize though. Will those eligible PCs start seeing the Windows 11 upgrade prompt immediately, or will most people need to wait until later for the offer? We’ll have to see-and that’s not even getting into the Windows 11 hardware compatibility fiasco for desktop users, which started off confusing and just keeps getting more confusing. That’s an interesting twist, as Microsoft previously said that Windows 11 upgrades for Windows 10 PCs won’t happen until 2022.
