Each new version...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Reimagined user design<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft has changed the design of practically the entire operating system to a <strong>softer, more rounded theme <\/strong>in Windows 11. There are some bold changes to the design for instance, the Start button has been brought to the center of the taskbar for the first time in Windows OS. It is one prominent change to the Taskbar after the Start screen was introduced in Windows 8.<\/p>\n<p>The pinned apps have also been brought to the center of the Taskbar. This new design is not only esthetically pleasing, but it also puts everything you need right at the center of the system \u2014 both literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n<p>What I found interesting is that this kind of placement makes <strong>switching apps a lot easier and quicker<\/strong> in Windows 11 compared to its predecessors.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-11-features\/the-start-button-centered-windows-11.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"The Start button is centered in Windows 11\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Redesigned Start menu<\/h2>\n<p>The Start menu shows you the <strong>default pinned apps<\/strong> like Calculator and Microsoft Edge, etc. Also, the Start button is powered by Office 365 and lets you quickly access all your recent files. This includes the files you were working on \u2014 on different devices as well as across mobile OSs like Android and iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Windows 10\u2019s Start menu\u2019s live tile interface, in Windows 11 Start menu the apps cannot be grouped together to create a folder. However, you can now pin any app to the taskbar by right-clicking the app\u2019s icon. The Start menu also <strong>changes dynamically <\/strong>depending on the time of the day \u2014 a novel feature!<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-11-features\/redesigned-start-menu-windows-11.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Redesigned Start menu in Windows 11\"><\/figure>\n<p>You can customize the Start menu from the <strong>Windows Settings <\/strong>to match your preferences. For instance, you can restore the left-aligned Start button or change the icons\u2019 sizes from the <strong>Taskbar settings<\/strong> in Windows 11\u2019s Settings.<\/p>\n<h2>Enhanced multi-tasking<\/h2>\n<p>Windows OS is known for its flexibility \u2014 especially since it allows the use of <strong>multiple apps and windows side-by-side.<\/strong> This flexibility a notch higher with Windows 11. The reason being it offers more powerful tools for multi-tasking like<strong> Snap Groups, Snap Layouts, and Virtual Desktops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 11 comes with several predefined snapping layouts for you to quickly snap applications. These layouts will help you optimizely utilize your screen space and organize your application windows for a <strong>visually clean desktop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-11-features\/snap-layouts-windows-11.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Snap Layouts on Windows 11\"><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most exciting features is that you can create <strong>multiple virtual desktops<\/strong> for each part of your life; for example gaming, school, or work. Also, these virtual desktops can be customized according to your liking including wallpapers.<\/p>\n<h2>Redesigned File Explorer<\/h2>\n<p>The File Explorer in Windows 11 has <strong>fresh new icons, esthetic rounded corners,<\/strong> and better dark mode options. The interface is modified to suit both keyboard and mouse as well as touch users.<\/p>\n<p>It is also easier to select, rename, or delete files as the ribbon toolbar is replaced by a <strong>command bar <\/strong>that lets you quickly access commonly used actions like rename, select, and delete, etc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/windows-explorer-pro-tips\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 15 Windows 10 File Explorer Pro Tips\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">15 Windows 10 File Explorer Pro Tips<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/windows-explorer-pro-tips.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-48172 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/windows-explorer-pro-tips.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">15 Windows 10 File Explorer Pro Tips<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWindows File Explorer is one of the most-used native tools in Windows 10.

They are small widgets like Android Widgets that display some information about the system or from the web according to how you customize it.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Widgets is an <strong>AI-powered personalized feed<\/strong> that changes dynamically based on the time of the day and the apps you are using \u2014 just like the Start menu.<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>personalized feed slides over the screen like a glass piece<\/strong> without disturbing what you are working on.

Also, it makes it easier for you to search for apps, collections, as well as stories.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft will now support <strong>leading first- and third-party apps<\/strong> like Microsoft Teams, Disney+, Adobe, etc. directly in the Microsoft Store, unlike the previous store in Windows 10.
