As we’ve already reported, Microsoft plans to reveal the next-gen Windows on June 24th. And, from the looks of it, this next-gen Windows will actually be Windows 11 and not an upgrade to Windows 10.
Earlier today, The Verge shared the first images from Windows 11. Thus, below you can find some screenshots that showcase Windows 11’s new user interface, Start menu, Microsoft Store and lots more.
To be honest, I really hope that the Search functionality in Windows 11 will be better than what we have in Windows 10. A lot of users have reported that Win 10’s Search cannot find all the files you’re searching. This is something I’ve experienced myself, so let’s hope that Search will be better in Windows 11. Additionally, I really hope that the Microsoft Windows Store will be better than the one we have in Windows 10.
Below you can find the first images for Windows 11.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and chief product officer Panos Panay will be presenting at the Windows event. Microsoft’s Windows event will start at 11AM ET / 8AM PT on June 24th.

Lets be honest, Windows search hasn’t been good since Win XP. I dont epect it to ever be corrected/
install fast find.

well for one thank god it’s gone back to rounded corners.
Been playing around with this all day on a VM its not bad but its NOT a recent build this is a older build of 11.
Also yes you can move your start menu back to the left corner!!!
they should stop calling programs/software “Apps” and just have the one proper Control Panel like in Windows XP instead of combining it with the modern Windows Settings
The direction MS seems to be going follows very closely with what Apple is doing which is to make the App Store the singular place to get all your applications. This way it will be the single controlling factor in to the eco-system and also able to charge both developers and consumers a fee to use.
The way things are going, everything is moving towards a server or cloud centric model of how applications are being designed and provided. Very soon, there will not be any standalone applications anymore. If you want to use something, use it off the cloud, and this provides a subscription based or pay-as-you-use model with companies nickel and diming for every single function available. No more one time purchase price people. Soon, you’ll be paying a subscription to use Windows OS with a thin client installed on your computer, and the bulk of the system and its workload running in the Azure Cloud with the data and presentation layer streaming to your computer. Easy to cut you off anytime you do anything wrong. Social credit anyone?
I didn’t expect them to move on from the number 10 for a long time, like Apple has done.
I like it. I have a very customized Win10 start menu with programs pinned and it’s really very useful. However, I can’t recall one of my customers over the last 6 year that has ever pinned a program there or did anything to arrange the tiles in some sort of useful manner. And I’m talking thousands of people.
Meanwhile, I fully expect there to be more forcing and coercion in pushing people into signing in with a MS account, instead of just a basic local account. I guess as long as you stay offline during setup, it’ll have be okay. Either way, they push these reminders on people after a few days that take up the whole screen and push people into likely switching to a dumb MS account sign-in and having them swap their browsers to Edge, even if you already picked a default replacement.
Look! my desktop PC turned into a tablet/mobile phone take 2.
F*ck this OSX imitation.
Not a fan of the UI changes at all. The Start Menu looks functionally less useful than previous versions of Windows, the awful material design/UWP changes are promoted in place of the conventional Windows design, and Microsoft is apparently pushing that garbage, unwanted storefront even more, along with the Xbox app that has given many PC players problems with being able to run games. Expect more bloatware and unnecessary background processes.
Key sites have product keys for like $6.
But yeah, should be free if they want to not give people another reason to switch to a Mac.
lol imagine thinking paying only 6$ is a deal to have the goverment look into your files and comments so you can use dx12… which only 2 out of 10000 games used better thsn dx11…….
What are you hiding?
Okay genius. Please post the user names and passwords to all your accounts and post your browser history from the last 2 years.
That’s an embarrassing attempt at trying to make a point. Just so you know.
If they decide that, then no combination of linux, VPN and Brave browser is going to stop them. If the government decides they want to go after somebody, they’ll win.
Looks almost exactly like Win10.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh the same fkoking explorer.
All I want is a minimalistic windows to doesn’t require to much resources. Cant wait to see itin actions
What do you use for OS?
They gonna put even more garbage that people dont use
Trying to transform Windows in a Mac?
Winbloat 11, We will make sure to use every cpu core for useless background apps you never use!
Come on Microsoft, Just give us a basic Windows Lite version or install option.
If jobs were actually allocated based on aptitude to the user design, instead of force feeding bulls**t down your throat at every turn, Microsoft would have to entirely clean house.
There isn’t a single person left there that knows how to design actual good software anymore. All they know how to do, is inject bulls**t they want to manipulate the user, and make it “just” irritating enough, that the user puts up with it.
lol its the same thing but with more spyware and telemetry stuff i bet. im sure they will be tracking hate speech or wrong-think and you pc will uninstall or lockup until cops or some government mental health agency checks on you. i admit i fell for the w10 meme, but i will never use this. i a 50/50 win/linux user, however i may be exclusively linux after the reviews and reports come out. not that linux is much better nowadays…never let sjw into your programming languages/os….
win10 is awful, this is slightly less crap. I had to use tons of stuff to change win10 to be like 7 to be usable,
Same, I did my best to make it look like Win 7, and even XP in some parts. ha ha
i used the tron theme with win 7 start its called “start is back” and s”ystem transparency”. look it up in youtube “win10 tron theme”
i only use custom shells these days and windows updates ruin them so i just re install them.
Shell is literally Windows 8/10 mobile garbage again, wonder how badly optimized it will be this time…
I’m surprised they’re actually going for a new product instead of that whole Operating System as a Service thing.
Guess marketing heads thought otherwise.
Who’s willing to bet they’re going to try and squeeze down on “side loading” your own programs like chrome and steam with this?
Can we just have Win98 UI back please? I miss it dearly.
tell bill to pay me first if he wants me to pirate this windows.
why do we need a new windows? Screw upgrading. Might make older games harder to run too! There really is no reason to upgrade.
More like Windows 8.3
“compare XP vs 7”
Let’s be real now, 7 only existed because Vista was an unmitigated disaster
Same but different, still the same (only worse)
Love the centered taskbar, but aside from that the changes seem insignificant.
The file explorer looks pretty much the same. There are some minor icon changes but still no sign of tabbed file explorer.
To be fair this seems to be a really early build of Windows 11.
most imp agree that windows store style features is shit…….they need to change that in 11
What i want in this new update is that they f*cking fix their updates! I hate having to jump through hoops to update windows, or when the update fails and it fails to boot, or some other reta*rded sh*t. Or when it refuses to download updates or some other nonsense.
That should take priority.
Looks like a blend of Windows 10 and 7 (aero glass and rounded edges). I like the look but I’ll wait and see before upgrading.
Yep, not too bad, I like the rounded bits though.
Thank goodness the start menu can be back on the left. Leaving it on the middle is a no no for me! haha
Excellent!

Remember when Windows 10 self installed intrusive forced boot up ad’s for Edge browser? Expecting a whole lot more of that kind of garbage with this. Probably full of tracking/back door intrusive bs and internet monitoring to get us right into 1984 tyranical world we are already heading in. Remember… Bill Gates hates humanity. He has talked about wanting to reduce world populations too. As soon as they started making windows free I knew something was up
what’s wrong with reducing the number of dumbf*ks around?
Nothing. You first.
I like 10.
I hope Open Shell will still be developed and compatible with Windows 11 so we can hide that atrocious UI.
It was the first thing I installed on Windows 10.
It’s starting to look more and more like a smartphone UI, no?
Well hope they improve windows store this time
Featuring more bloat and more spyi… erhm ‘telemetry’ of its users no doubt!
Another shlt like Windows 8, trying to look cool as if our PCs where smartphones.

I’m not looking forward to this. Windows 11, 11 months of f**kups!
What rock have you been living under John? We’ve been discussing this for some time 😉

Tiles or nothing.

MS: Windows 10 is the final!
MS: Hold on…..
Wonder whether we’ll finally get tabs for the explorer
Can’t wait for “you need to upgrade, DX13 is exclusive to Win 11 and 2000% faster”.
