Start Menu

Microsoft has simplified the Start Menu like no more live tiles. It’s very simple and easy to navigate to all installed and system programs. Users can see standard icons, pinned apps and recommended apps and files.

New Animations

Microsoft Windows 11 has introduced different animations like moving windows around your screen for multitasking with blurred effects. The touch screen functions have been optimised showing a new outline giving an excellent experience where the explorer can go.

Not only that, apps closing and opening, minimizing and maximising new animations are very cool. The overall speed of the functions of opening and closing new folders and minimize apps has been improved compared to Windows 10.

 

Improved Multitasking and Virtual Desktops

The most common and advanced feature people use in windows is Split-screen apps. Well, Microsoft has improved this feature by bringing it to the taskbar. If you have opened multiple application and wish to see them on the same screen, there are six ways you can view them on single or virtual screens. You can also create a group of opened tabs and Windows will remember the combination.

It looks Microsoft has worked on multitasking and virtual desktop features as it’s becoming more and more popular among users. This feature is very simple to use without any learning or downloading a guide for it.

Fresh New Sounds

In 2015 at the launch of Windows 10 the sounds were not changed much. USB drive, error messages or notification had similar sounds compared to Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Fresh new sounds on Windows 11 refreshing especially after listing through five years of the same system noises.

This new Windows 11 release brings new icons for documents, pictures, download, music and videos. It looks good to the eyes while going through the Operating system. New icons don’t give boring look at all.
