Windows11 launched with an all-new Start menu

Windows 11 is now a reality. Microsoft's new Windows operating system has debuted nearly six years after the release of Windows 10 that took place in July 2015. It also brings several improvements to its performance. Among the highlights, the new Windows comes with a completely new Start menu, with an updated Start button that is now positioned at the center of the taskbar. Microsoft has introduced several updates to make Windows 11 look neat. The icons and the themes of the operating system have also been redesigned. It now sports softer visuals with transparent background looks to focus on what is at the front. Interestingly, Windows has now introduced rounded corners as seen on both Android and iOS.

Windows 11 is also faster in everything you do on Windows. This includes starting up, browsing the web, running apps and more. This is thanks to several optimisations on the OS, including 40 per cent smaller updates that will now run in the background. The new Windows is also more power efficient than the previous iterations and comes as the safest Windows yet by Microsoft. Windows 11 also comes with an improved touch keyboard that includes GIFs integration.  There are also preloaded virtual keyboards that can be placed anywhere on the screen. Users can additionally use voice dictation support throughout the system. There are also options such as voice typing and voice commands to ease your typing. Further, there are several interface-level tweaks to enable an improved touch experience.

Windows 11 also improves the experience for people using multiple monitors. This is something that has become a new normal for many users these days — thanks to the working/ studying from home culture at a large scale. Microsoft has also integrated its collaboration platform Teams within Windows 11 and added a universal mute and unmute functionality to help people make virtual calls with ease. Similarly, there is a Desktop Share feature to let users share their windows with people connected over a virtual meeting.
