The user interface of Windows 11 immediately looked almost identical to the now-defunct Windows 10X. Now in the middle of the taskbar. Users who do not need it can use the switch provided in the settings to move it to the left corner of the taskbar.Live tiles have been replaced with fixed applications and files recently opened from the Start menu.

The expand buttons in all applications have a quick control function, which can provide multiple options to capture windows to different parts or side by side. It has new built-in themes and improved dark mode. Although there are reports that Microsoft is developing a new app store, there is a leaked version of the Windows App Store. The version of Windows 11 is almost the same as the version available in Windows 10.
The leaked build may contain malware or viruses, so it is recommended to install it on a virtual machine.In short, Windows 11 looks like a more advanced version of Windows 10. Speaking of Windows 10, 10 years ago, on October 14, 2025, Microsoft confirmed that it would no longer support Windows 10.
