Изменения пользовательского интерфейса начального экрана и закругленные углы

Релизной версией Windows 11 стала версия 22000.194.co_release_svc_prod1.210911-1543, которая уже доступна для скачивания.

Windows 11 – это смесь пользовательских интерфейсов Windows 10X и Windows 10. Стартовый экран по умолчанию очень похож на стартовый экран из первой. И это первая Windows, которая больше не распространяется в виде x86 ISO-образа.

Пользовательский интерфейс

Центр уведомлений и пользовательский интерфейс настроек

Скриншоты ниже покажут, как изменились Центр уведомлений и пользовательский интерфейс настроек. В новом воплощении выглядят довольно симпатично.

Windows 11 update: All new features, ISO, Wallpaper downloads & more

Процесс установки

Даже установка выглядит очень похоже на установку Windows 10X (OOBE).

OOBE

Проводник

В Windows 11 обновленный проводник имеет современный и более чистый вид с новыми элементами дизайна пользовательского интерфейса. Появились такие визуальные изменения, как:

  • Все новые иконки видны повсюду – даже в опциях.

  • Параметры компоновки в проводнике файлов Windows 11 содержат множество дополнительных опций, включая компактный вид, страницу предварительного просмотра и панель навигации. Вы также можете добавить флажки для элементов, если они вам нужны.

  • Изменился вид контекстного меню.

  • Хотя Microsoft не стала кардинально менять основную структуру проводника, общий пользовательский опыт был улучшен благодаря изменениям в интерфейсе (блажен, кто верует. – Прим. пер.).

Улучшения многозадачности

В Windows 11 появился новый вариант многозадачности с большим количеством окон. При наведении курсора на кнопку максимизации можно легко переключать окна с всплывающими опциями.

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

В Windows 11 появились макеты прикрепления с двумя колонками для упрощения многозадачности (на дисплеях с диагональю менее 24″). Согласно документации Microsoft, на больших дисплеях (больше 24″ и разрешением 1920 пикселей) макет привязки будет иметь 3 колонки. Макеты прикрепления можно вызвать, наведя курсор на кнопку максимизации или нажав Win+Z.

Сеансы продуктивной работы

Панос Панай опубликовал твит, в котором содержится короткое видео, демонстрирующее функцию cеанса продуктивной работы в Windows 11. Он называет функцию «прорывной». Сеансы продуктивной работы предоставят пользователю временное окно, чтобы сосредоточиться и выполнить текущую задачу без прерываний. При этом можно будет делать перерывы или их пропускать. Благодаря интеграции Spotify, можно будет наслаждаться музыкой, которая поможет повысить вашу производительность.

Анимированный фон экрана блокировки

Windows 11 поддерживает анимированный фон экрана блокировки на компьютерах, оснащенных акселерометром. Если ваш ПК поддерживает эту функцию, вы можете перейти в Параметры — Персонализация — Экран блокировки.

Архивация приложений

При включении этой функции приложения, которые не часто используются, будут архивироваться для экономии места и пропускной способности Интернета. Файлы и другие данные архивированных приложений будут сохранены, но не удалены. Если в будущем вы «случайно» воспользуетесь заархивированным приложением, оно подключится к Интернету, чтобы восстановить полную версию приложения.

Иконки начального экрана и папок

Вы можете изменить, какие значки (включая Этот компьютер, Корзину, Сеть, Файлы пользователя и Панель управления) будут отображаться на рабочем столе. Для внесения изменений перейдите в настройки Персонализации.

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

Вы также можете решить, какие папки будут отображаться рядом с кнопкой питания в меню «Пуск»: Параметры, проводник и прочие.

Графики батареи

В Windows 11 появилась красивые и достаточно функциональные графики использования батареи.

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

Встряхивание заголовка окна

Что делает функция встряхивание заголовка окна: если ее включить, взять строку заголовка окна курсором и потрясти, то все остальные окна будут свернуты (в Windows 10 эта функция включена по умолчанию, а в Windows 11 — выключена. — Прим. пер.).

Использование устройства

Microsoft будет предлагать советы, инструменты и услуги на основе того, как вы собираетесь использовать свой ПК. Вы можете выбрать параметры в разделе Персонализация.

Вставка текста без форматирования

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

Если вы откроете историю буфера обмена с помощью WIN + V и нажмете кнопку «…» рядом с любой текстовой записью в истории буфера обмена, вы увидите опцию «Вставить как обычный текст» рядом с кнопками «Закрепить» и «Удалить». Когда вы используете это действие в истории буфера обмена, оно вставляет текстовое содержимое буфера обмена без оригинального форматирования (шрифта, цвета, размера и т. д.).

Новый Microsoft Store

https://thewincentral.com/windows-11-sun-valley-update-all-changes-new-features-release-date/

Microsoft Store получил не только новый интерфейс, но Microsoft также заключила партнерство с Amazon, чтобы добавить приложения и игры для Android в Windows (Поддержка приложений Android — это единственная анонсированная функция, которая не войдет в Windows 11 на старте. — Прим. пер.).

Жесты, анимация и изменения размера окон

Короткие видеоролики, опубликованные в Twitter, демонстрируют новые жесты Windows 11 и анимацию изменения размера окон. Выглядят ничего так, но могут нуждаться в доработке. Однако анимация изменения размера окон выглядит «аккуратненько».

Интеграция Teams

Microsoft интегрирует Teams в ОС. Теперь вы найдете чат Teams прямо на панели задач, чтобы вы могли легко общаться с друзьями. Он также будет работать с SMS на случай, если друзья еще не загрузили Teams. Компания специально назвала это «двусторонним SMS», поэтому не ожидайте, что групповые тексты MMS будут работать (Ниже перевод выдержки с ресурса https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11. – Прим. пер.).

  • Только незашифрованные — использование стандартного DNS без шифрования.

  • Только зашифрованные (DNS поверх HTTPS) — использование только DoH.

  • Зашифрованный предпочтительно, незашифрованный — попытаться использовать DoH, в случае недоступности вернуться к стандартному DNS без шифрования.

Официально поддерживаемые Microsoft DoH серверы

  • Quad9: DNS-серверы 9.9.9.9 и 149.112.112.112 

Пробуждение при касании

Windows 11 поддерживает настройку «Пробуждение при касании» подобно функции Windows Mobile 10. Это позволит компьютеру под управлением Windows 11 просыпаться только после прикосновения к экрану.

Улучшения при использовании нескольких мониторов

В Windows 11 появились два долгожданных улучшения работы с несколькими мониторами: функции «Сохранить расположение окон в зависимости от подключения монитора» и «Сворачивать окна при отключении монитора».

Виджеты

https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11

https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11

Microsoft добавила панель виджетов, которая будет выдвигаться слева. Компании нравится сравнивать ее с раздвижным стеклом. На данный момент это почти то же самое, что «Новости и интересы», но в новой форме. В какой-то момент она, вероятно, будет открыта для сторонних разработчиков.

Полностью новые Ножницы

Возможно, вы помните, что в Windows 10 компания Microsoft потратила много времени, пытаясь переделать старые приложения. Она планировала заменить Paint на Paint 3D, заменила Internet Explorer на Edge, Ножницы были заменены на Набросок на фрагменте экрана, а сага с OneNote до сих пор все еще не закончилась. Как и в случае с Paint 3D, то же самое произошло и с Ножницами: вместо того, чтобы заменить их на Набросок на фрагменте экрана, Microsoft просто заменит их обоих новыми Ножницами.

Продукт очень похож на то, как если бы объединили классический Ножницы и Набросок на фрагменте экрана в одно UWP-приложение. Для запуска приложения используется сочетание клавиш Win + Shift + S. И, конечно же, добавлена поддержка темной темы.

Калькулятор, Почта и Календарь

Компания Microsoft начала процесс обновления встроенных приложений с учетом визуальных особенностей Windows 11, как целую кучу закругленных углов. В калькулятор также добавлены такие функции, как режим программиста, режим построения графиков и поддержка более 100 единиц измерения и валют.

https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11

https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11

Новое приложение Фотографии

Microsoft представляет совершенно новое приложение «Фотографии», которое использует новый эффект Mica и, конечно, имеет закругленные углы. Также имеется новая панель инструментов для базового редактирования фотографий, но более примечательной является полоса прокрутки, которая появляется в нижней части. Это позволяет легко прокручивать изображения в альбоме или библиотеке.

Улучшения для игр

Auto HDR — функция, впервые появившаяся в консолях Xbox Series X|S, а теперь перешедшая в Windows. Она автоматически добавляет HDR в старые игры, как вы, вероятно, догадались по названию.

Еще одна функция, заимствованная у последних консолей компании, — DirectStorage. Для этого вам понадобится ПК с SSD, который был разработан как часть архитектуры Xbox Velocity Architecture, но это позволит добиться сверхбыстрой загрузки и лучшей производительности.

Наконец, Xbox Cloud Gaming стал встроенным. Она станет частью приложения Xbox, хотя в общем-то нет причин, по которым обновление не должно появиться и на Windows 10.

Обновления устанавливаются быстрее. Одно обновление — в год

Microsoft заявляет, что Windows 11 будет лучше в плане обновлений. Обновления будут занимать на 40 % меньше и происходить в фоновом режиме (Ниже перевод выдержки с ресурса https://www.howtogeek.com/737031/windows-11-whats-new-in-microsofts-new-os/. – Прим. пер.).

Еще лучше то, что Microsoft переходит на график выпуска одного большого обновления в год. В Windows 10 компания Microsoft выпускала два больших обновления в год, что приводило к появлению огромных ошибок и просто к общим сбоям в работе, пока вы сидели и ждали, пока ваш компьютер обновится, прежде чем вы сможете им пользоваться.

Мелкие изменения

  • Cortana больше не будет включаться при первой загрузке или закрепляться на панели задач (Ниже перевод выдержки с ресурса https://www.windowscentral.com/everything-microsoft-removing-when-you-upgrade-windows-11. – Прим. пер.).

  • Internet Explorer отключен (кроме движка Trident). Microsoft Edge является рекомендуемой заменой и имеет режим IE Mode.

  • Панель математического ввода удалена. Распознаватель математических знаков будет устанавливаться по требованию и включает в себя панель математического ввода и распознаватель.

  • Режим планшета также исчезнет.

  • Функция «Люди» больше не присутствует на панели задач.

  • Выравнивание панели задач по нижней части экрана — единственное допустимое расположение.

  • Временная шкала удалена. Некоторые аналогичные функции доступны в Microsoft Edge.

  • Удален Кошелек.

  • 3D Viewer, OneNote для Windows 10, Skype и Paint 3D не будут устанавливаться на новые устройства с Windows 11, но будут доступны в Microsoft Store.

  • Блокнот переведен на UWP-рельсы.

Новый вид страницы управления дисками

Теперь доступ к Управлению дисками осуществляется в том числе и через приложения Параметры. В новые настройки перенесены создание пулов и пространств хранения, добавление и удаление дисков, а также оптимизацию пулов.

Перейдите в Настройки — Система — Хранилище и нажмите Управление пространствами хранения в разделе «Другие параметры хранения».

Новая папка «Инструменты Windows»

Содержимое папок Windows PowerShell, Стандартные — Windows, Служебные — Windows перенесено в папку «Инструменты Windows».

Мониторинг здоровья хранилища

В Windows 10 появилась функция мониторинга состояния хранилища, которая будет предупреждать, когда один из накопителей «может оказаться под угрозой отказа». Она предназначена для работы с твердотельными накопителями NVMe. Если у вас есть такой накопитель, эта функция, надеюсь, предупредит вас и даст вам достаточно времени для резервного копирования данных до того, как накопитель выйдет из строя.

Консольная утилита DiskUsage

Утилита DiskUsage позволяет просматривать и запрашивать использование дискового пространства через консольный интерфейс. Вы сможете увидеть подробную информацию о том, сколько места на диске занимает каждая вложенная папка.

Новый звук запуска Windows 11


P.S. Также, кому интересно, может тонко настроить Windows 10 и Windows 11 с помощью моего скрипта на PowerShell — Sophia Script for Windows (GitHub). Подробнее — в статье на Хабре.


P.S.S. Как я упоминал в своей статье о готовящейся опенсорсной версии графической версии Sophia Script на C#, мы стали выпускать где-то раз в 2 недели тестовые билды. Ознакомиться с SophiApp можно на GitHub.

SophiApp 0.0.0.33 (Helen)

  • Полностью работают 3 категории: Конфиденциальность, Персонализация и Контекстное меню;

  • Темная и светлая темы;

  • При запуске программа считывает текущие настройки, и интерфейс отображает реальное состояние функций;

  • Поддерживаемые языки: английский и русский.

Для будущей версии 1.0, которую все-таки планируем в 2021 доделать, сойдет. А там надо перерисовывать UI и повышать UX.

Windows 11 is a major release of the Windows NT developed by Microsoft that was released in October 2021. Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft described Windows as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support.

Channels[edit]

Windows Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in four different channels. Insiders in the Dev and Canary Channel receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel, but might experience more bugs and other issues. Insiders in the Release Preview Channel do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.

  1. ^ Rollout of this feature to a subset of Insiders in the Beta Channel began at the time it was announced.

Dev Channel[edit]

On September 2, 2021, Microsoft announced that Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel will receive builds directly from the rs_prerelease branch, which are not matched to a specific Windows 11 release. The first build released under this strategy, build 22449, was made available to Insiders on the same day.[92]

On February 3, 2022, Microsoft changed its plans on how they delivered builds for Windows Insiders, with Dev and Beta Channels are «parallel» active development branches, giving an option to switch from Dev to Beta Channel for a limited time. The Dev Channel builds are meant for upcoming and experimental features that may never release to general availability, whereas the Beta Channel builds are the «feature complete» builds that will make its way to the general availability for the specific Windows 11 release.[241]

The ni_release branch was available from February 16 to May 11, 2022.[124] Afterward, Insiders in the Dev Channel has been moved back to the rs_prerelease branch.[242]

On March 6, 2023, Microsoft announced that Dev Channel will be rebooted, and Windows Insiders will be receiving 23000 series builds going forward from the ni_prerelease branch.[243][244] The first build released under this strategy, build 23403, was made available to Insiders two days later.[245]

Windows 11 is Microsoft’s latest operating system, and the 21H2 and 22H2 versions are two of its most recent updates.

Both versions bring a host of new features to make your computing experience even better.

In this article, I’ll be comparing the two versions and discussing their key differences so you can decide which one is right for you.

From encryption to boot screen animation, there’s something for everyone in these releases.

So let’s get started!

Overview of Windows 11 21H2

You’ve heard of Windows 11, but did you know that version 21H2 brings a variety of new features and updates?

Windows 11, version 21H2 was released on October 20th 2021. This update contains several notable changes such as an improved Start menu design with added support for Linux apps and the reintroduction of Cortana.

It also introduces Wake On Voice for Modern Standby devices that allows users to wake their device by simply saying “Hey Cortana” or using voice commands. The update also adds improvements to the taskbar which now supports drag and drop, as well as adding various tweaks to the Action Center interface.

Overview of Windows 11 22H2

The next major update of Windows 11 with version 22H2 is packed with brand new features and improvements to make your experience even smoother!

This update includes a redesigned Efficiency mode feature in the Task Manager, a re-added drag and drop feature on the taskbar, split Focus assist into Do Not Disturb and Focus modes, Clipchamp as an inbox app, tabbed browsing in File Explorer, inline suggested actions feature, a tablet-optimized taskbar option and more.

Additionally, this version boasts support for iOS devices through Phone Link as well as energy recommendations page in the Settings app.

Microsoft Pluton is another highlight of this release. It provides hardware-based root of trust along with secure identity and cryptographic services which can be enabled on devices with compatible processors running Windows 11 22H2.

Windows 11 21H2 vs 22H2: Encryption

You’ll be able to securely encrypt your personal data with the latest Windows 11 version 22H2, ensuring that your information is kept safe from malicious actors. This feature, called Personal Data Encryption (PDE), differs from BitLocker in that it encrypts individual files instead of whole volumes and disks. PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business to link data encryption keys with user credentials and minimize the number of credentials the user has to remember.

Stickers

Unleash your creativity and make your desktop come alive with Windows 11’s new Stickers feature – perfect for students looking to give their device a personal touch!

With over 500 cheerful, education-friendly digital stickers available, you can express yourself however you want. Here are some of the ways that Stickers can help you customize your device:

  1. Organize Your Desktop – Arrange and resize the stickers on top of the desktop background for a personalized look.
  2. Change Up Your Look – Customize the look of your device with different themes, wallpapers, accent colors, and more.
  3. Make It Your Own – Each student’s sticker collection remains even when the background changes so it feels like yours!

Stickers is a great way to add some fun and personality to your Windows 11 experience. Whether you’re in school or just love customizing your devices, this feature makes it easy to brighten up any desktop!

Notifications

The Notification Center, which can be accessed from the taskbar or the Action Center, provides a central location for all your notifications. It’s easy to customize what appears in the Notification Center and when things appear – like when your device is charging or if an update is available. You can choose between toast, banner, alert, and other notification styles that are tailored to fit whatever task or activity you’re doing at the moment.

The Windows 11 version 22H2 update has also added new features to Notifications. You can now prioritize critical notifications while muting others. The Do Not Disturb feature will help keep notifications from interrupting important tasks by temporarily silencing them until you’re ready. Additionally, there are now more options for managing how often notifications repeat themselves so you don’t get overwhelmed with too many alerts over time.

Notifications in Windows 11 version 22H2 give users greater control over what they see and when they see it – helping them stay organized and on top of their tasks without having to worry about being bombarded with irrelevant information.

Windows 11 21H2 vs 22H2: Redesigned Start Menu

Continuing on from the previous topic of notifications, I’d like to talk about the redesigned Start Menu in Windows 11, version 22H2.

The Start Menu has been completely overhauled with this update and it looks and works better than ever before. It is now more intuitive and easier to navigate as well as being able to display your favorite apps and files right at the top for quick access.

It also has a new dark mode which can be enabled by simply clicking on the toggle switch at the bottom of the menu. You can also customize it according to your preferences by adding or removing tiles, changing theme colors and font sizes, etc.

The Start Menu is also much faster than its predecessor due to performance enhancements such as improved loading times and reduced memory usage. Additionally, it includes several new features such as Live Tiles which allow you to view live updates from your favorite apps without having to open them up separately; Jump Lists that provide one-click access to recent documents; an improved search bar that allows you type in what you are looking for instead of scrolling through everything; and a reorganized Power Options menu for easy access when shutting down or restarting your PC.

With all these improvements combined, using the Start Menu in Windows 11, version 22H2 is definitely an enjoyable experience overall.

Windows 11 21H2 vs 22H2: Tabbed File Explorer

Get ready to explore your files like never before with Windows 11’s new tabbed File Explorer! This feature allows you to view multiple folders and documents at the same time, making it easier to compare, organize, and browse.

You can also pin any folder you use often so that it’s always visible on the left side of the window, making it easy to access. Plus, the refreshed layout of the left navigation pane makes navigating through different locations simpler than ever.

The inline suggested actions feature is also a great addition to Windows 11’s File Explorer. When you open a file or click on an item in the File Explorer, this feature will display helpful options related to what you’re doing – like printing or sharing – right next to where you’re working. It even suggests relevant keyboard shortcuts when applicable!

With all these features combined, Windows 11’s tabbed File Explorer is sure to make managing your files more simple and efficient than ever before!

Windows 11 21H2 vs 22H2″ Tabbed Notepad

Make sure your notes stand out with Windows 11’s new tabbed Notepad! Easily compare, organize, and browse multiple documents at the same time – you’ll never miss an important detail again.

With the added support for tabs in the Notepad app, you can now have multiple documents open within a single window. This makes it easier to switch between documents as well as copy and paste content between them. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s even a new Tamil Anjal keyboard option to choose from! With this update, typing in Tamil is easier than ever before.

The tabbed Notepad feature also works for those using touch devices like tablets or convertible laptops. On these types of devices, the taskbar has been optimized for tablet use so that tabs can be dragged around easily onscreen without needing a mouse or trackpad.

HEVC support

Love how crisp videos look? With Windows 11’s version 22H2, you can now enjoy High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) support to make sure your videos look their best! HEVC gives you the ability to compress video files without sacrificing quality, so you can watch high-definition content in smaller file sizes.

Here’s what you’ll get with HEVC support:

The Start Menu example in Windows 11

The Start Menu example in Windows 11

Windows 11 sports a brand new UI for the Start menu. It no longer includes Live Tiles. Instead it shows regular icons without dynamic content, similar to icons on your Desktop.

This menu appearance was initially created for Windows 10X. It appears above the taskbar, and has rounded corners. There are four sections in the new menu.

Search

The topmost area hosts a search box. It is no longer integrated into the taskbar, and is located in the Start menu. The search itself is similar to Windows 10’s search and mixes online content with local files.

Pinned apps

Below the search box is pinned icon area. It supports multiple pages, and allows you to pin as many icons as you need without filling the whole screen when you open the Start menu.  It retains its size regardless of how many apps you have pinned.

Above the list, there is the «All Apps» button that opens the traditional app list, i.e. all the apps installed on your computer. It has also received a few updates.

First of all, if a folder in the app list includes only 1 item, it will be flattered, and the icon will be shown directly in the menu.

A new Windows Tools folder now replaces the Windows Accessories, Windows Administrative Tools, Windows PowerShell, and Windows System folder. The Notepad, Paint, File Explorer, and Snipping Tool apps are moved out of the folder and are now in the root of the list.

Recommended

This section shows your recently viewed documents and files from OneDrive and online MS Office. There is also the More button that opens the full list of such files. You can right-click here any file and remove it from here using the context menu. The Recommended section can’t be disabled, but you can clear this list in Settings and stop Windows 11 from adding new files to this list.

Action buttons

The last section in the new Start menu is dedicated to various action buttons. Here you will find the shut down menu, user profile, sign out options. The user can also add his personal folders, such as Documents, Downloads, Music, etc.

The commands in the power menu will now show the estimated time for installing installing updates and restart the device.Windows 11 Update Estimated Time

Taskbar

The taskbar in Windows 11 has received drastic changes. It is taller and now shows all icons aligned to the center of the screen, but there is an option in Settings to restore a more traditional layout. It doesn’t show text labels for running apps, and doesn’t allow you to ungroup app windows.

Also, it doesn’t allow you to move to a different screen edge.  The bottom of the screen is the only location allowed in Windows 11. Actually, there is a Registry tweak to move the taskbar, but Microsoft doesn’t officially support it.

The context menu lost all its items besides the «Taskbar settings«, which opens Settings to the Personalization > Taskbar page.

By default it shows the new Search, Task View, Widgets, and Chat buttons. You can hide them in Settings. My People and Cortana have been removed.

When you hover over the search button, it shows your recent searches in a pop-up menu.

It comes with plenty of new animations and visual updates. Those can be seen when you are pinning, launching, switching, minimizing, and rearranging your apps.

Also, Windows Ink Workspace has been renamed to “Pen menu”.

The feature known as «Aero peek» doesn’t make open app windows transparent when you hover other the rightmost corner of the taskbar. This feature has been removed. But now you can disable it, e.g. to add the classic «Show Desktop» shortcut to the taskbar.

Notification Center & Quick Settings

The lower right corner of Taskbar has a button for Notification Center (WIN + N) and Quick Settings (WIN + A). Also, the battery, network, and sound icons are now just one big button and now open the Quick Settings pane.

In Windows 11, you can now re-arrange virtual desktops using drag-n-drop, and specify an individual background image for each of them.

The list of virtual desktops now appears at the bottom, and always shows the close button on a desktop thumbnail. To switch the desktop, it is enough to hover over the Task View button in the taskbar with your mouse pointer, and pick a new one.

The Timeline feature is no longer part of the Task View.

Widgets

Widgets bring you closer to information you both want and need. Just click on the widgets icon on the Taskbar, swipe from the left using touch, or hit WIN + W on your keyboard, and your widgets slide out from the left over your desktop.

You can also invoke the snap layouts flyout with the WIN + Z keyboard shortcut.Windows 11 Snap Layouts
  • Snap groups: Snap groups are a way to easily switch back to your snapped windows. To try this out, snap together at least 2 app windows on your screen. Hover over one of these open apps on the Taskbar to find the snap group and click to quickly switch back.
  • Desktops: Access your Desktops via Task View (WIN + Tab) on the Taskbar. You can reorder and customize the backgrounds for each of your Desktops. You can also mouse-over Task View on the Taskbar for quick access to your existing Desktops or to create a new one!

Apps

File Explorer

File Explorer features a new design in Windows 11. There is no Ribbon UI there (but you can restore it in the initial release of the OS). Instead, there is a compact toolbar with frequent commands. The default user interface is touch friendly with margins and paddings, but there is an option to enable the compact view.

Compact View In Windows 11 File Explorer

All File Explorer context menus have been redesigned. By default, they include only frequently used commands, and have the design that matches the visual style of the OS. To show the full command list, the user must click on the «Show more options» item. But it is possible to enable the full context menus with a Registry tweak.

Speaking about the navigation pane, it also shows installed WSL distros.

The new Microsoft Store

The Store’s all-new design features a new layout and animations. It is now easier to find apps and review their details. But the most important change is the new policies for developers.

Microsoft now accepts Win32 application from everyone. The new Store allows developers to publish unpackaged Win32 applications, including regular EXE and MSI files. Packaging to the MSIX or APPX container is now optional.

This way, Microsoft Store is gradually becoming a unified hub for all desktop applications. Regardless of the underlying technology, be it UWP, Win32 or PWA, the app can be published and later installed on any PC.

The recent updates brought great performance improvements, so it can now handle large files without a hassle. It also support Linux line endings, make it great even for WSL users.

The latter works on the fly without the user having to specify how the line endings must look like. Notepad, when opening a file, checks the first match for the line ending, i.e. LF or CRLF, and makes it default for the file.

Microsoft has brought another pack of enhancements to Notepad. It now allows you to enter Unicode symbols with the Alt+<code> shortcut, jump between opening and closing brackets with the Ctrl+} hotkey, and block selection.

The update includes the multi-level undo capability, drag&drop support for the document body, and even color emoji.
