Windows 10, which Microsoft is promoting as the most important update in over ten years, will eventually be replaced by Windows 11, the next operating system version. Although the operating system has not yet been formally unveiled, an internal preview (build 21996) has recently surfaced online, showcasing numerous new features and UI adjustments anticipated to be included in the final release of Windows 11 later this autumn.
You will see the new Start menu for the first time in this hands-on video, which features a more simple layout, conventional icons, and no Live Tiles. Additionally, you will learn about the new taskbar that places everything in the middle of the screen. The video also highlights the new system noises, enhancements to the Task View and Windows Ink experience, and the new Widgets feature.
New multitasking features, such as the Snap Layouts feature, which is a component of the Snap Assist system—a menu that shows up when you hover over the maximize button on a window and provides a visual aid for snapping windows on the screen—are also anticipated to be included in Windows 11. Depending on the monitor’s size, you can choose from a variety of layout options in the menu. Additionally, while utilizing the enhanced snapping experience, hovering over the button on the taskbar will now display the groups that the app is a part of.
This video also demonstrates a number of the UI improvements, like as the new rounded edges design style that Microsoft is introducing for buttons, windows, and other components. We investigate the new snapping, taskbar interaction, minimizing, maximizing, and other animations.
Remember that the build that leaked online is not the final version of Windows, even if we now have a fairly decent sense of what Microsoft is preparing for the upcoming generation. On June 24, the firm intends to have a virtual event to formally unveil Windows 11 to the world, go over the project in greater detail, and showcase new features and modifications that weren’t included in the leak, like the updated app store and Settings app experience.
