Available for several months now, Windows 11
the latest version of the famous operating system
from Microsoft, would suggest the upcoming arrival of new features according to a leak…

Priority notifications, an enriched tablet mode or even the possibility of further personalizing your desktop… Here is what should be waiting for you in future versions of Windows 11!

An optimized tablet mode

It’s Albacore on Twitter , a regular leaker around Windows operating systems, which reveals some new features that should constitute future builds of Windows 11. And the first of them concerns the tablet mode.

Yet present on devices running Windows 10, tablet mode is not directly incorporated into the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system. Indeed, if Windows 11 obviously allows you to enjoy it on tablets, it is still cut off from certain features, including the possibility of hiding the taskbar. A feature which should therefore, according to the words of Albacore, make its arrival soon.

Priority notifications and more

Among the other changes coming to Windows 11, one of them this time should concern notifications. If you do not want to be disturbed during your activities, you should be able to define and configure more specifically the so-called “priority” notifications. In other words, you will be able to display and/or hide a greater number of options in the PC settings, in a logic of optimizing your concentration according to your priorities. The concentration assistant, or “Focus Assist”, would then simply be renamed “Focus” and would also be programmable from Outlook.

In addition to these very useful new features for those seeking peace of mind, customization enthusiasts should also rejoice. Indeed, it would soon be possible to add “Stickers” to your desktop directly from the personalization settings, as well as to modify them, in order to give more personality to your PC. Finally, the settings should be accompanied by a new power management option in order to direct and inform the user of the consumption of his computer.

If we know that Microsoft is preparing three packs of updates to come soon, it still remains to be confirmed if these leaks will prove to be true and, if so, when these new features could well land on Windows 11. Still a little patience for discover it…

Windows 11

  • Graphical redesign of the successful interface
  • Improved Snap
  • Effective anchor groups

To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the essentially graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
