Microsoft spoke about a major February update of Windows 11. One of the main improvements in it will be a “public preview” subsystem for running Android applications.
Running programs for Android on Windows 11 began to be tested back in October, and their circle was very limited – Amazon Appstore offered only about 50 games and programs. They worked far from ideal, including on very powerful PCs. Perhaps the situation will change with the February update.
Also, with the upcoming update in Windows 11, the taskbar will be improved. It will appear on/off the sound buttons and the weather widget. In addition, the ability to display the clock on additional monitors should be added.
Among the standard applications, Notepad and Windows Media Player will be updated. Both will get dark theme support and interface tweaks that are more in line with Windows 11 style.
To conclude, Microsoft noted that the February update will make it easier to share the screen in Microsoft Teams and other video calling applications. Hovering over such programs will bring up a new tab on the taskbar, allowing you to quickly share the contents of the window while invoking.
The exact start date for the update has not yet been announced, but it will probably start in the next few weeks.
