Development

After the release of Windows 10, Microsoft officially stated that it would be "the last version of Windows". The operating system was considered to be a service, with new builds and updates to be released over time. However, speculation of a new version or a redesign of Windows arose after a job listing referring to a "sweeping rejuvenation" of Windows was posted by Microsoft. A visual refresh for Windows, developed under the codename "Sun Valley", was reportedly set to modernize the system's user interface.

Leaked images of a purported beta build of Windows 11's desktop surfaced online on June 15, 2021, which were followed by a leak of the aforementioned build on the same day. The screenshots and leaked build show an interface resembling that of the canceled Windows 10X, alongside a redesigned out-of-box experience (OOBE) and Windows 11 branding The leaked build requires TPM 2.0 to install, a requirement which might be dropped in the final release as most older systems fail to meet it.


At the Microsoft Build 2021 developer conference, CEO and chairman Satya Nadella teased the next generation of Windows during his keynote. According to Nadella, he had been self-hosting it for several months. He also teased that an official announcement would come very soon. Just a week after Nadella's keynote, Microsoft started sending invitations for a dedicated Windows event at 11 am on June 24, 2021. Microsoft also posted an 11-minute Windows start-up sound video to YouTube on June 10, with many people speculating both the Microsoft event and Windows start-up sound video to be a reference to the name of the operating system as Windows 11.

On June 20, 2021, Microsoft accidentally revealed that it is working on Windows 11 in a support document.

Features

User interface and design

The leaked development build of Windows 11 features an updated user interface that follows Microsoft's Fluent Design guidelines; translucency, shadows, and rounded corners are prevalent throughout the operating system. A redesigned Start menu is used, which eliminates the tiles on the right side. The taskbar is also streamlined and centered by default, however, an option to left-align the taskbar remains. Task View, a feature introduced in Windows 10, features a refreshed design. Other changes to the system include new system icons, animations, sounds, and widgets. Much of the interface and start menu take heavy inspiration from the now-canceled Windows 10X.

Windows 11 features a new font, Segoe UI Variable. The font is designed to scale better with modern high DPI displays, which the old Segoe UI did not account for.

Widgets

Windows 11 includes a widgets panel accessible by clicking the widgets button on the taskbar. The widgets display news, sports, weather, and finance from MSN. In the leaked developer build, widgets cannot be dragged or rearranged (although this feature has been showcased in the announcement) and accessing the widgets panel requires signing in with a Microsoft account. This replaces the news and interests on taskbar which appeared in later versions of Windows 10.

Integrated applications

Microsoft Teams will be integrated into Windows 11, which will be accessible from the taskbar.[32] Xbox Game Pass will also be integrated into WIndows 11.

Android apps

Windows 11 will allow users to install Android apps onto their computer, which can be done from the Microsoft Store.
