So there’s a lot of expectation that Windows 11 will deliver more fluidity and fewer bugs. Check out some aspects:

New design : Unlike other versions of Windows, the Start button will default to the middle. “It puts you at the center,” says Panos Penay, head of product at Microsoft;
New Start Menu : just like the new Start button, the Start Menu itself will be based on the “centralized” concept, with slightly more spaced icons and a somewhat “cleaner” view of the applications;
New modes : you’ll be able to switch between Light and Dark Modes, so you can offer your views, if you choose Dark Mode, more rest; while Light Mode has a white look and can be a little more aggressive. Not to mention that there is sync in the application icons according to the chosen Mode;
Snap Layouts : here is not an improvement, but a novelty. With Snap Layout you’ll be able to organize how more than one application or program will behave on the screen, as you decide;
Snap Groups : with this also new feature, you’ll be able to open groups of applications and/or programs at the reach of a click. The system will remember how you used more than one of these mentioned and will open again when activated;
Windows Widgets : very popular on smartphones, widgets will help you view information about certain applications and/or programs without having to click on them, in a preview that will be on your desktop;
General improvements : the new system will also offer a reduction of up to 40% in the updates carried out, as they will be made while you move your PC;
Android Apps on PC : You can also download and use Android apps on PC running Windows 11.
