What’s new in windows 11?

Introduction

Windows 11 is the next evolution of Windows; it is the most significant update to the Windows operating system since Windows 10. It offers many innovations focused on enhancing end-user productivity in a fresh experience that is flexible and fluid. Windows 11 is designed to support today’s hybrid work environment and is intended to be the most reliable, secure, connected, and performant Windows operating system.

Windows 11 is built on the same foundation as Windows 10, so your investments in update and device management tools are carried forward. Windows 11 also sustains the application compatibility promise made with Windows 10, supplemented by programs like App Assure. For Microsoft 365 customers seeking further assistance, FastTrack will continue to be available to support your efforts to adopt Windows 11.

What’s New In Windows 11?

Windows 11 New UI

This is the most significant change in Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 in UI(User Interface). The Design Look and feel are very different. The first thing is, Improvements in the theme, and when you see into the bottom bar, I mean taskbar or start button, it’s come at the center, and I think in the upcoming upgrade, the start button moves to the right side.

Snap Windows and Snap Group

In Windows 11, Snap works as before but also includes a few enhancements. The first is called Snap Layouts. This feature provides a flyout that displays possible Snap window layouts when you mouse over the Maximize window button of any window.

Snap Group: You can group multiple applications. That means You can work on multiple applications like You can do code and watch tutorials simultaneously, and these two apps or software adjust on the screen manually.

Search and New Start Menu

The new Start Menu has a much cleaner look than before. The shift from the corner to the center of the screen could offer some exciting improvements in how efficiently you can navigate the apps and files that are found But with change comes some confusion, and until we can use a final version of the new Windows 11, our best information on the new Start Menu may be the images from the announcement itself.

Search Bar: At the very top of the Start Menu is a search bar. The function for this should be pretty self-explanatory, letting you input text to search through all of the apps and files on your machine, as well as pulling up information from the web and relevant results from the Windows Store.

Judging by the detail shown in Microsoft’s preview video, it looks as if the search results start populating as soon as you start typing, with a search results interface that lets you quickly sort between Apps, Documents, Web results, and other positive hits.

Windows Security and Update

This is the secured version compared to previous Windows versions, and the future updates of windows 11 are 40% less than regular versions.

Security

1. Zero Trust Security
   
2. Raising The Bar On Security
   
3. Side-Channel Vulnerabilities
   
4. TPM 2.0
   
5. A ‘Positive’ Approach On Security

New Edge Browser

The all-new edge browser is entirely based on chromium. It’s faster than previous versions of edge browsers, and the UI of the Edge browser is also changed.

The new Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows and macOS. With speed, performance, best-in-class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features, it’s the only browser you’ll ever need.

Better Multiple Desktop Support

I am happy that Microsoft is finally paying attention to the multi-monitor experience that has been a pain point despite many years of Windows existence. Multi-monitor setups are pretty standard today, and the lack of a seamless experience makes Windows 10 a bit less valuable than Apple’s macOS. Windows 10 did improve the functionality a bit, but that was not up to expectations. As a result, several people took to the Feedback Hub on Windows to tell Microsoft where the problem was. Windows 11 is going to address the problem head-on.

Windows 11 does away with desktop rearrangement issues that make tabs and windows on multiple monitors look cramped and weird. According to the report, that is because of Rapid Hot Plug Detect (Rapid HPD) that affects DisplayPort on Windows machines. With the “Remember window locations based on monitor connection” setting, Windows 11 will solve window rearrangement. Another set will let you minimize windows when a monitor is disconnected in the settings.

In one of the hands-on videos for Windows 11, the operating system seemed to have used a new resizing experience on windows. You will see multiple options on clicking the Maximize button, including allowing four windows or apps on the screen. This is essentially another version of cascading windows.

Team In Windows 11

As you see the trend of video calling app, so the windows are this time directly give the app and software of windows team in windows 11 simply you can access it and use it.

If You can attend any type of meetings and lectures, you can easily use the Windows team.

Widgets In Windows 11

Easily, you can log in with your windows account and use widgets in windows 11. This Time widgets show you related and your exciting post, blog, and news, topic.

Optimize for Touch Screen

This time, windows 11 also design for touch screen devices. In old versions of windows, metro UI was using for touch screen devices. That means there are no other UI working on tablets, and in windows devices, another UI is working.

But In Windows 11, the same UI is working but with better performance. You can easily split the screen, and In windows, 11 new features are added like keyboard and voice typing. 

Keyboard: The new emojis and gif are added.

Voice Typing: You can quickly write anything using voice typing.

Haptic feedback in pen input/stylus

Pen inputs are also available in old versions of windows. But in windows, 11  pen inputs are available with haptic feedback. This is a beneficial thing for designers.

Windows 11 Made for Gamers

Microsoft’s Sarah Bond explained just why Windows 11 will “deliver the best PC gaming experiences yet” during the ‘What’s Next for Windows’ Livestream on Thursday and expanded on that statement in a new blog post on Xbox.com. Bond is basing her assertion on the three pillars of “superior graphics, amazing speed, and an incredible selection of games.”

With AutoHDR, a game doesn’t even need to have built-in support for HDR to improve its looks, DirectStorage is bringing modern SSD speed to gaming, and with full Xbox Games Pass integration, a whole world of games will be at your fingertips with Windows 11. Well, if you have a subscription anyway.

The new version of Microsoft’s flagship OS, Windows 11, will launch in time for the holidays this year. Chief product office Panos Panoy claimed that “If you’re a gamer, Windows 11 was made for you.”

Which maybe feels a little hyperbolic to me, but we’ll let that slide. He’s enthusiastic, that’s cool.

1. AutoHDR:” Superior graphics.”
2. Direct storage amazing speed
3. Xbox Games Pass

New Microsoft store in windows 11

There are lots of improvements available in Microsoft 11. Here PW(Progressive web app), UW(Universal windows APP), and WIN30 Regular applications are available in the Microsoft store. 

One of the best things about the Microsoft store for developers is time if any developer launches his app on the Microsoft store and if any consumer purchases his app, then all the money goes to the developer.

These things are only for regular apps, not for gaming apps.

Android apps in Windows 11
