Microsoft unveiled Windows 11 today in a live stream. There’s a lot more than rounded corners, a centred Start menu featuring applications and new wallpapers. Here are its updates:

Adjustable app size

For users of surface touchscreen PCs, app size adjustment is extremely helpful. If you are working with a stylus, the virtual keyboard is being redesigned.

Snap Layouts and teams app

Snap Layouts will be included in order to make it easy to move the application window to a pre-set configuration. Also, the popular Teams app will be already included.

App Store

Microsoft even revamped an app store for its users to provide a safe way to get your apps on Windows. Apps can be in the store without Microsoft taking a share of the revenue from sales of applications. Windows 11 will support Android apps through Amazon’s app store and the apps you already use on phones will be available even on the desktop.
