At the beginning of Windows experience

appearance

icon

First of all I am a appearance level party, but the system style radish cabbage each has his love,Windows11 various icon screenshots on the Internet has been everywhere, I here simply put a few to those who may not have seen Windows11 friends first glance. The first is a lot of system icon, here I put a Windows11 and Windows10 comparison map!

Dynamic effect

Then there is the qualitative improvement in system performance, which is what many people think Mark Twain (Mac to Windows) is about! I highly value this feature and hope Microsoft doesn’t cancel it!

other

The right sidebar style has been changed (I don’t know what happens when you swipe right on the touch screen now)There are also big changes to the start menu and status bar! (Windows10’s status bar and notification bar are together,Windows11’s are separate!)Both Settings and store styles were updated in the July 1 release. Store download experience is much better than the old version, download button click will immediately respond, the old version of the download and install button is often pressed no response, but I am not very satisfied with the application page, I like to see the information of each version of the application update, but this page is still not seen!

The setup looks a bit familiar, and some of the big games on the store’s games page need to be transferred to the Xbox app.

In the July 1 release, all the Windows I used were rounded, and some of the areas that were not rounded in the previous beta, such as the user account control that pops up when opening an app as an administrator, are rounded in the latest version.

Developer related Events

  1. Windows Terminal has become a built-in application
  2. CMD is still there
  3. Powershell is still built in version 5
  4. Built-in Google Core Edge (a done deal)

  1. Wsl2 will be installed directly, because Windows11 plans to support Linux graphics software natively, instead of opening a remote desktop mapping from port 3389 as before. (WSL cannot be started in the virtual machine, so I won’t test WSL in detail here.)
  2. Windows Notepad is now a UWP app (guess, because the update is in the App Store, but exe is also said to be available in Windows11, so this needs to be confirmed)
  3. Internet Explorer is nowhere to be found in the Windows features installer, but in theC:\Program Files\Internet ExplorerThis path can still be found! (Guess later will be completely removed, the front end directly laugh!)
  4. By default, Chinese still uses GBK encoding. Personally, I think it would be better if the default is UTF-8.

9. There is no way to install native APP in the current version! Upgrading to Windows11 still has plenty of retro apps (high emotional intelligence,doge)! There is still a similar page from the early days of Windows has been used to this day, full of five generations of affinity!

In addition, I tried Python, git, vscode and other common development tools, and no problems occurred in the test (Python is the store version).

conclusion

Windows11 version update after 1 July, total let a person feel satisfied, before the existing localization is not comprehensive, not unified basic problems such as the UI style are visible in the perfect speed, but does not recommend developers to upgrade now, although does not appear during my brief use green screen (Windows11 is said to be thoroughly solved the problems of blue screen, Because he changed it to green screen! Can’t solve the problem, solve the problem itself, high, really high! Or other issues that obviously affect usage! However, there are still some minor glitches (for example, I started the night mode, but it didn’t change, the Settings were flashback), and for developers, the current 11 doesn’t have many big improvements like the late Windows10 (during Windows10, SSH support, terminal release, WSL and so on, I think it is good for development Are very helpful tools really good! . I will update a detailed description of the full process of installing and activating Windows11 in a virtual machine and joining the beta plan. All see this do not pay attention to it!!
