From PC World: Microsoft is always working to modernize Windows 11’s look. To that end, the company has now replaced old system elements dating back to the Windows 95 era, according to preview leaks.
In a Bluesky post, well-known Windows leaker PhantomOfEarth unveiled a number of new features in the most recent Windows 11 preview builds. Among them is a new File Explorer properties dialog box, for which the underlying code hasn’t changed much over the past few decades.
Microsoft has already confirmed that all outdated dialog boxes are to be replaced with modern versions. Some of these date back to the days of Windows 8, while others go as far back as Windows 95. The new modern versions are set to be based entirely on WinUI 3, Microsoft’s current framework for the Windows 11 user interface.
Microsoft is evidently planning to remove several classic elements from the Windows operating system and replace them with newer takes. This is likely to have a significant impact on the look and feel of Windows 11 and ensure that fewer “relics of the past” bleed through.
