Later this year or early next, Windows 11 will begin rolling out to new and existing devices with a range of new features and major design improvements.

Windows 11 is technically Windows 10 with rounded corners, a new modern design and Fluent icons.

Start Menu is also doesn't come with traditional live tiles and it will show your apps and websites in a grid layout, similar to Windows 10X and ChromeOS. As it turns out, native Windows apps are also getting a major redesign as part of the new operating system.

The new look for native apps was highlighted during the event video and there's a chance we might see these new apps in the upcoming preview builds.

File Explorer, which has barely changed since Windows 8, is getting rounded corners, new icons and a new header that replaces the current ribbon toolbar.

PowerPoint is now using updated icons and rounded corners for options within the new header, similar to other native Windows apps like MS Paint and Notepad. In addition to these new screenshots, Microsoft has also uploaded a teaser video that gives us a closer look at upcoming improvements.
