Microsoft has shared an update on their promise from March 2026 to make Windows 11 faster, more reliable, and easier to use. Many of these changes are now in test versions for early users and will reach everyone over time. Here is a complete list of new and improved features delivered since March: >The Windows Insider Program is now simpler with two main channels: Experimental and Beta. It is clearer what each does, and you can switch or leave channels more easily without reinstalling Windows. >Windows Update is easier to control. -All updates now use one restart per month for the system, drivers, and other parts. -You can skip updates during initial setup, pause them in 35-day steps, and the power menu always shows normal Restart and Shut Down options without forcing updates. >Copilot and AI features are less pushy. -The “Ask Copilot” buttons were removed from Snipping Tool and Photos. -In Notepad, the button now says “Writing Tools” instead of using a generic Copilot icon. >File Explorer is more reliable and faster with fewer freezes, smoother opening and navigation, fewer sudden changes in the Home view, sharper thumbnails, and better dark mode support with less white flashing. >Widgets and the Discover news feed are calmer and less distracting with fewer notifications and badges. -The news feed is off by default and does not pop up. -On the lock screen, Widgets show only the Weather tile by default. It also uses less memory. >The system performs better overall, saving memory in many areas The Start menu, Search, Action Center, and other tasks feel faster and more responsive. More changes like taskbar options and Start menu tweaks are planned soon. You can try the latest features early by joining the Windows Insider Program and selecting the Experimental channel.
