Windows 11 will be available on October 5, it brings several important design changes, including the new design of the context menu and notification center. According to Microsoft executives, Windows 11 will reduce the disk usage of various pre-installed apps. Windows 11 has changed the compression technology of the operating system and apps. For example, the default state of apps such as Memo and Microsoft To-Do is actually just an index, which is downloaded only after the user opens it.
For example, when the user launches Sticky Notes from the start menu for the first time, the user will see a new loading screen, and then the remaining application binary files will be loaded on-demand, without the user having to perform any manual operations. Microsoft official said: “This reduces the size of the disk, you will also see less background update activity and download traffic.
Microsoft also reduced the disk usage of the operating system itself and the Edge browser. In a supporting document, Microsoft pointed out that the pre-installed Ethernet and WiFi drivers are now available as FOD (Feature on Demand). By default, the drivers will be pre-installed to improve the overall experience, but if users do not need these drivers, they can manually delete the FOD of drivers that are not applicable to the device hardware in the settings.
In addition, Win11 will remember the priority status and can better communicate with the hardware. As a result, the recovery time of Win11 is 25% faster, and Windows Hello for Business authentication is improved by 30%. Microsoft clarified that new design elements such as rounded corners and mica will not cause performance degradation, and its performance will be better than Windows 10 ‘s acrylic design elements.
