Windows Start menu
A centred Start menu design gives Windows a much-needed refresh. The start menu has been simplified; it also means no more live tiles. Instead you see standard icons that show pinned apps, even recommended apps and files.
Taskbar
Microsoft Windows 11 Taskbar has been revamped in Windows 11 as well. It’s in the centre, featuring the start menu, default icons and search bar, just like Chrome OS. There’s a dedicated button in the taskbar to add widgets.
Overhauled Windows Store?
At least, the leaked Windows 11 build does not reveal a brand new Windows Store, so one cannot be sure. Previously, it was said that Microsoft Windows 11 will feature a new Windows Store.
Rounded corners on Microsoft windows, File explorer icons
Windows and menus appear to have slightly rounded edges. Meanwhile, the folder icons are more playful and colourful. The animations look and feel fluid.
Microsoft has added new system sounds in Windows 11. Don’t worry, classic Windows features such as the Control Panel and Task Manager, continue to be part of Microsoft’s next-generation Windows.
Microsoft Windows 11: New features
Ahead of the global debut of Windows 11, video and images of Microsoft’s upcoming operating system have leaked online. On Tuesday, a user on the Chinese site Baidu Tieba posted screenshots taken from a new version of Windows.
Based on leaked screenshots, the next generation of Windows appears to have a new start menu, home screen, startup sound and a Mac-like vibe. The Verge downloaded a copy of the “Windows 11 build 21996.1”, and found it genuine. It’s being said that Windows 11 adopts visual changes found in Windows 10X, a new operating system that Microsoft was working on to rival Google’s Chrome OS.
Microsoft Windows 11: Release date
Microsoft will announce “the next generation of Windows” on June 24. The event will be held online at 11 am ET (or approximately 8:30 pm IST). The high-profile event will be attended by Satya Nadella and Panos Panay, Microsoft’s chief product officer. What we don’t know is the release date of Microsoft’s next version of the Windows operating system.
As of now, we believe the new operating system, which is being referred to as Windows 11, will arrive only later this year. It is to be noted that Microsoft first needs to beta test its new operating system with Windows Insiders before releasing it to manufacturers and the general public.
