On Windows 10, if you want to manage installed applications, you can do so on the Programs and Features page in the settings panel. Windows 11 follows this mechanism of Windows 10, but Microsoft is currently improving the function, and users can use a better way to uninstall applications from the system or manage them.
In Windows 11 Build 22494, Microsoft is testing the new design of the “installed applications” sub-page of the application and function page. At present, after opening applications and functions, you can see a list of applications. Currently, Windows allows users to scroll through the list of applications, but this list is very long and can be scrolled all the time. Although there is a search box, this list view is still inconvenient to use. Users often need to scroll for a long time to find the corresponding application.
In Windows 11 Build 22494, the new design allows the application and function list to be adjusted, a new pane view is added, and newly installed applications can be displayed independently. The user can view a list of all installed applications, and can also view what the newly installed applications have. Microsoft allows users to switch between different views, the default display is the list layout, but users can also switch to the thumbnail pane layout, the visual effect is a bit like a static tile.

This new design solves the problem of long lists that need to be scrolled, but the new version of the Windows 11 design improves more than just the view. Microsoft has also made a lot of improvements for the screening of applications, for example, the corresponding applications can be filtered by alphabetical order, file size, etc.
When the new filter rules are used, the applications that do not meet the conditions will disappear from the view. If you want to find a specific application, this is undoubtedly much more convenient. Windows Insiders in Microsoft’s development channel are currently conducting A/B testing-related improvements, and the changes are expected to land with the 22H2 version of Windows 11, which should be released to consumers in October 2022. However, the new design of the application and function page may also be updated separately through the experience package.
