These include Windows 11 features Windows 11 gets a completely new design
Windows 11 Overview Windows 11 24H2, also known as Windows 11 2024 Update, is now available through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Windows Update for Business. Today begins the 36-month support for Windows 11 Enterprise and Education 24H2. We recommend that you begin a targeted deployment in your organization now to verify that your applications, devices, and infrastructure work as expected with the new release. To help you plan, this article describes some of the features and improvements that will provide a great experience while helping to keep your business data, applications, and people secure on any device. Windows 11 24H2 includes all the features and capabilities provided as part of the continuous innovation of Windows 11, now enabled by default.
A completely new design is ideal for this
Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to retract its previous statements and abandon Windows 10 with a new OS number. The Redmond giant has been preparing for a long time to redesign the update codenamed Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – apparently Windows 11 was under this name. The Sun Valley project flashed on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly leaked details of the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and popular designers drew realistic concepts based on all of this. Startup and system items float above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every latest version of Windows.
Admittedly, this small change makes the system much fresher
Unsurprisingly, in Windows 11, the developers will transform it again, but not so much functionally as visually – the start window will float above the bottom bar. Based on information from the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “inside” of the menu – the innovations will only affect the design of the window itself. The Control Panel will also float and have the exact same design as “Start”. The Action Center will be combined with control buttons – something similar has long been used in some other operating systems. Almost every mention of the new menu indicates that it will be isolated – with controls on a separate panel, notifications on another, and individual items (like a player) on a separate panel.
The right angles disappear and are replaced by nets
In fact, insiders and concept designers disagree on this issue – some are convinced that Microsoft will not change its traditions and keep the right angles, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the Internet fashion . The latter fits better with the definition of “all-new Windows” – hovering over menus isn’t enough to make a new design truly new. Networks should affect virtually everything in the system, from context menus and system panels to all application windows. True, the opinions of concept designers are divided even on this issue – some draw fillets in all possible surface elements, others combine them with right angles. There will be a transparent background with blur everywhere.
The vast majority of leaks and design renders show transparency and blur in every window, be it at least the Start menu or the Explorer
There are differences of opinion on the web about the display style of the island window, the corner design and the menu floating effect, but almost everyone agrees on the transparency of the windows. Moreover, these effects are even present in the assembly of the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed in parallel with the Sun Valley project for dual-screen devices and weak gadgets.
