For the longest time, the Windows operating system has lacked a suitable version update. In the previous six years, users have been utilising updated versions of Windows 10. Microsoft is holding a launch event on June 24, and it appears that a new Windows operating system is on the way. Just prior to the event, Microsoft had a Windows 11 leak, which provided consumers with a plethora of information. Here is more information about the Windows 11 build 21996.

Windows 11 build 21996 updates leaked earlier this week. As they are a leaked copy, it doesn't precisely depict how Windows 11 will appear when it's finalised, but it does give us our first peek at the future OS. Windows 11 offers a redesigned Start menu, taskbar, and numerous other changes as compared to Windows 10. The leaked beta reveals a major revamp of animations, layouts, and features for Windows, albeit the UI isn't complete.

The following are some of the new features in Windows 11

  • Snapping has been completely revamped. The snapping animations are new, as is the user interface for selecting which windows snap to which sections of your screen.
  • Widgets are also included in Windows 11.
  • For Windows 11, there are dark and light modes, which are similar to those seen in Windows 10.
  • Many of the sounds in Windows 11 come from Windows 10X.

  • There doesn't appear to be a specific tablet mode in Windows 11.
