10 New Features of Windows 11

 

Microsoft officially announced the presence of Windows 11. There are a number of new features given to this successor to Windows 10.

Some of them were already strong when Windows 11 was leaked on the internet a week before its introduction. Only leaked leaks highlight the appearance changes, one of which is the Start button being moved to the center.

Turns out there are a number of hidden features. And at the launch on Thursday night (24/6/2021), Microsoft revealed more capabilities of the new operating system.

New Features of Windows 11

We rounded up 10 new features of Windows 11 that can be felt as soon as it is officially launched at the end of November.

Widgets

Microsoft provides Widgets that can be accessed when the cursor is directed to the left of the screen. This contains a variety of important information for users, from weather, calendar, stocks to news.

According to the technology company from Redmond, this widget is equipped with AI and allows users to personalize it. In addition, the look can be made fuller by simply pulling it.

The team

Microsoft integrated Teams into Windows 11. It makes it easier for users to better connect and share files with just one click on the taskbar. But the question is how Skype, will stop like MSN Messenger?

Snap layout

Microsoft seems to realize that most of its users always have more than one application open at the same time, hence Snap Layouts. This function allows us to arrange several windows on the screen more easily.

So there is no need to pair manually. With just one click, the application is immediately arranged according to the selected pattern.

Desktop

Multitasking is the main focus of Windows 11. That's why Microsoft provides a more reliable way to multitask and stay aware of what to do with the Desktop feature.

This feature allows users to group tasks across multiple desktops. So users can have a Desktop for work, play, or school. Switching between Desktops can be done easily.

For those using a second monitor, when removing the screen, Windows 11 will minimize the display of the monitor. Previously everything opened on the second monitor went directly back to the main screen.

Once plugged back into the second monitor, what was minimized is back to how it was before. This is a very useful addition for anyone using a second screen.

Adaptive Screen

Supporting hybrid devices, Windows 11 provides a rotating adaptive screen for portrait use.

Pen, Gesture, and Voice Control

Windows 11 is designed to be flexible with how users want to enter information when they don't want to use a keyboard or mouse. The operating system is designed for stylus pen use and has new haptic feedback.

Microsoft provides gesture control, either using a pen or a finger on the touchscreen. Given a virtual keyboard like a smartphone, complete with swipe movements, cursor control by pressing the spacebar, and emoji. Users can use voice input to automatically determine text with punctuation marks.

Games

Microsoft is using its experience in customizing the Xbox to provide a better gaming experience with Windows 11. Games built on the Direct X 11 platform (or higher) will be supported with Auto HDR, the same as used on the Xbox.

Another Xbox legacy function is DirectStorage, which allows assets to be loaded onto the graphics card to reduce loading times. But it takes a hard drive and the right drive to take advantage of it.

Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass gives Windows 11 users access to a large number of PC games as well as Xbox Cloud games. The app is integrated directly into the platform making access easier. Users can take advantage of cross play and cross save capabilities to switch between console and PC, and purchase games directly from the Xbox app.

Windows Store

The Windows Store has been revamped, making it faster and easier to find new apps. The app store also provides games and movies for download.

Android application

Windows 11 provides support for Android apps. Microsoft makes it integrated into the platform and can be used with other Windows programs. Android apps can be downloaded through the Microsoft Store and the Amazon app store.
