Windows 11 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It is the successor to Windows 10.

Development[edit]

After the release of Windows 10, Microsoft stated that it would be "the last version of Windows".[8][9] 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.[10] Reportedly codenamed "Sun Valley", the redesign was set to modernize the system's user interface.[11] A purported beta build of Windows 11 was leaked online on June 15, 2021, which shows an interface resembling that of the canceled Windows 10X, alongside a redesigned out of box experience (OOBE) and Windows 11 branding.[12]

At the Microsoft Build 2021 developer conference, CEO 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.[13] Just a week after Nadella's keynote, Microsoft started sending invites for a dedicated Windows event at 11 AM ET on June 24, 2021.[14][15] The event starts at 11 AM, which is an unusual time for a Microsoft event. Many believed this was a hint. Microsoft also posted an 11-minute Windows startup sound video to YouTube on June 10, speculated to be a reference to the name of the operating system as Windows 11.[16][17]

Announcement[edit]

Windows 11 is was announced at a Microsoft event on June 24, 2021, at 11 AM ET.[15]

Release[edit]

Windows 11 was released on October 5, 2022. However, most users got the update around early 2022. It was released as version 21H2.

User interface and design[edit]

Windows 11 features an updated user interface that follows Microsoft's Fluent Design guidelines; translucency, shadows, and rounded corners are prevalent throughout the system.[18] A redesigned Start menu is used, which eliminates the tiles on the right side. The taskbar is also centered and streamlined.[12] Task View, a feature introduced in Windows 10, features a refreshed design. Other changes to the system include new system icons, sounds, and widgets.[19]

Windows 11 offers auto HDR support for games on systems with supported HDR display. Windows 11 will also deliver faster load times by taking advantage of DirectStorage and modern NVME SSDs.[20]

Clipchamp[edit]

In 2021, Microsoft bought ClipChamp, in a hope to replace Windows Movie Maker. Now, 480p, 720p, and 1080p exports are free,.Clipchamp is a video editor. Microsoft has announced that ClipChamp is now officialy an app in the Microsoft Store and will be pre-installed with Windows 11.
