Windows 11 leak reveals - new UI, Start menu, and more
So what is up gamers, Windows 11 is finally coming out on 24 June
and will be revealed next week, this is something PC users have been
waiting for a long time
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has already shared a teaser on the future
of Windows during his keynote address at this year’s Build developer
conference. He said he has been self-hosting it over the past several
months and called it “the next generation of Windows.
Windows 11: Release date
Microsoft will announce “the next generation of Windows” on June 24.
The event will be held online at 11 am ET (or approximately 8:30 pm IST).
The high-profile event will be attended by Satya Nadella and Panos Panay,
Microsoft’s chief product officer. What we don’t know is the release date of
Microsoft’s next version of the Windows operating system.
As of now, we believe the new operating system, which is being referred to
as Windows 11, will arrive only later this year. It is to be noted that Microsoft
first needs to beta test its new operating system with Windows Insiders before
releasing it to manufacturers and the general public.

Windows 11: New features
The new Windows 11 user interface and Start menu look very similar to what
was originally found in Windows 10X. Microsoft had been simplifying Windows
for dual-screen devices, before canceling this project in favor of Windows 11.
Visually, the biggest changes you’ll notice can be found along the taskbar.
Microsoft has centered the app icons here, cleaned up the tray area, and included
a new Start button and menu.
Microsoft is also using rounded corners throughout Windows 11. These
are visible in context menus, and around apps and the File Explorer.
The Start menu itself also includes rounded corners. This is still an early
version of Windows 11 that has leaked, so not everything is included yet.
We’re expecting to see more changes to the built-in apps within Windows 11,
but most of those don’t appear to be present yet. A large part of the operating
system feels finished though, so we’d expect to see a beta of this to arrive
shortly for Windows Insiders to test.
New Microsoft store :
Microsoft has reportedly been working on a new app store for Windows in recent months, and rumors suggest it will be a big change from what exists today. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has promised to “unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators” with Windows, and that will likely comein the form of a new store.
Microsoft is reportedly overhauling its Windows app store to allow developers to submit any Windows application, including browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft may also be considering allowing third-party commerce platforms in apps, allowing developers to avoid the cut Microsoft usually takes from in-app purchase systems.
Windows 11: New startup sound

Elsewhere, Microsoft has also included a new setup experience in Windows 11. It’s very similar to Windows 10X, walking users of new hardware or those upgrading to Windows 11 through a set of steps to configure Windows. This out-of-box experience also includes a new Windows 11 startup sound, which then triggers at every boot.
So that is it for windows 11, and we will catch you up in the next on. Thank you!
