@SUPERWINDRBLX @marchr @pavandavuluri No, this seems like it was an all hands on deck situation. Windows 11 was created under the leadership of Panos. Unfortunately that leadership didn’t last long since Microsoft made budget cuts and Panos wasn’t happy and decided to leave. Windows 11 has evolved since its launch.

@MattBDev @marchr @pavandavuluri Let me be clear, I'm happy it's back. But it's draining that as a day one adapter, it took 4 years for it to actually be added.

I've been excited for this to roll out! We've been working on it diligently for the past few months to make sure it works well and that we've ironed out the bugs. Check it out in the Experimental insider build now.

@TeaAndDates I’ve followed Windows for awhile so I know that making changes in a system as complex as Windows is no easy task. I want to make sure the people that worked on this know that it very much appreciated! 🩵

@MattBDev That is one of the nicest comments I've seen! I love the "yeah it may not be for me but I know others will appreciate it" energy. Thanks!

Now available: updates that make the Taskbar and Start feel way more personal. You’ve been asking (loudly! repeatedly! passionately!) and you were right. Let me know what you think.

@zacbowden Yeah, I hope they change this in the future or at least let us permanently pin the widgets board to the desktop.

@SUPERWINDRBLX @marchr Imagine how much red tape had to be cut and effort they put in to making this happen in such a short amount of time since @pavandavuluri announced the commitment to quality in March. They probably started in February so that is a lot of progress in 3 months! That’s no easy feat.

@marchr Please don't call this a new feature, because this should've been in day one. It's ridiculous it took 4 years for a basic feature that has been around for over 15 years to get added back. Moving the taskbar around has been a thing since Windows 95 dude. This is insulting.

@bacadd @Windows You delivered and then some with the changes in the blog post! Not a fan of the vertical taskbar w/ labels but that’s what the people wanted. I can’t imagine how much red tape that had to get cut and how much effort it was to make these changes in such a small amount of time.

A lot happening with WinUI3 and WinUI developer experience right now. 😍
Windows Central@WindowsCentral

Windows Central’s @Sean_Endicott_ dug into HOW Microsoft is pushing Windows 11 toward fully native apps, and the early signs point to major performance gains if the company follows through. It's just one of many smaller K2 projects that Microsoft is working on to improve Windows 11, and we can't wait to see the results. Details only at Windows Central🔗👇 windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@codematix @vkrajacic @Windows I think that once Microsoft finally releases their own LLM instead of their initial SLM + OpenAI use, they will have to make a HUGE marketing push across all target customers to fix their declining image of the brand. I say just bring back the Cortana brand.

Microsoft @Windows: "We're preloading File Explorer so it launches faster." File Pilot: Compiles in less than 3 seconds. Launches instantly. Eats whole drive for breakfast. Speed isn't a background task, it's design. filepilot.tech
Windows Latest@WindowsLatest

Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you don’t want Windows 11 to preload File Explorer, you can uncheck the option called “Enable window preloading for faster launch times” in File Explorer’s Folder Options under View. File Explorer is still snappy on Windows 10, but the modernized Windows 11 version also brought slower performance. This change is rolling out to Windows Insiders.

@Pirat_Nation Will 2026 finally be the year that they learn the reason why Win32 is so durable is because it didn’t use the insane API design philosophies they later became so attached to?

I still have hope that WinRT will continue to evolve and hopefully replace Win32. It will just take much longer than anyone would have wanted/expected. I bet people in the Windows App Community Discord would disagree with me though 😅
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation

Microsoft CTO Mark Russinovich said that code from the mid-1990s is still the foundation of Windows 11 today. In a new video, he asked: “Did anyone in the 90s expect Win32 to still be a first-class API surface in the year 2026? And I think I can safely answer, no.” He called Win32 the “bedrock” of Windows and said that so many apps and tools have been built on top of it. He also discussed his Sysinternals tools from 1996, saying they are “more relevant than ever” today, which shows how Windows keeps old software working well for many years.

One advantage Stardock has over Microsoft (ironically) in making desktop software is that the same team that made WindowBlinds, DesktopX, IconPackager, ObjectDock, etc. is STILL here. We know the Windows internals better than anyone.

@draginol I would hope that Microsoft is working on trying to free up engineers that are still at the company and worked on some components they are focusing on. Maybe even bringing them back into the Windows Division if they don’t have spare time outside their normal assignments.

unclear in bun’s case we already have the language split because JSC’s C++ and uWebSockets C++ <> zig. So we only needed to change the zig code. my rough understanding of node’s c++ code is most of it is libuv wrapping + v8 wrapping + napi + ncrypto. not as many runtime feature implementations. So it would likely not be as impactful and add a bunch of c++ <> rust binding code

This is all true. Link below to read why we tried to create a new API in Windows 8 and why just porting to ARM doesn't work if the old APIs still work the same way if we want battery life + always connected + security + fatless + quality over time, etc. web.archive.org/web/2012020921…

@shanselman @HostOfMeta Is RN no longer powering the recommended part of the Start Menu? I’m assuming All Apps migrated to C++ or .NET when the new Start Menu experience started rolling out earlier this year.

@shanselman Has Windows done this in the past or is actually something new it’s doing? I like this but if it’s just that certain things need to be re-optimized in Windows then I can only imagine how much faster things could get/feel!

We're rolling out a change in Experimental so file sizes in the File Explorer Details view now display using appropriate units (KB, MB, GB) instead of KB-only, to make them easier to understand at a glance Do you like it? 😊 learn.microsoft.com/windows-inside…
