The head of the new Windows and Web Experiences team promises to improve some aspects of the operating system
Windows 11 has been with us for more than two years, but the operating system has not started very well. In addition to the mess of the minimum requirements, several problems have been added improvable elements at the design level that has many users dissatisfied. A reflection of this may be its still small market share, which reaches 26.5%.
However, we can’t deny that Microsoft has released several updates to improve many aspects of its latest product. Now, with the change in leadership at Windows, everything seems to indicate that we will receive another batch of changes that promise to address some user complaints, including those who are not happy with the Start menu.
Windows 11 will have a redesigned Start menu
The departure of Panos Panay as director of Windows and Surface resulted in a new organizational chart in this important division of Microsoft. As part of the new scheme, the “Windows and Web Experiences” led by Mikhail Parakhin. Parakhin is apparently quite committed to improving Windows 11 based on feedback.
The executive, who has almost 15 thousand followers on X, has not hesitated to respond to some critical messages towards the operating system. Some of them were directed at the new design of the Windows 11 Start menu, which is now centered, has a more modern look, but works with a subtly different mechanics than Windows 10, the leading OS in market share.
“Please fix the start menu so I can scroll through all the apps without a additional click on ‘all applications’”said one of the people, to which Parakhin replied: “That’s so true! It really bothers me too. Motivating the team: We need to make the Start menu great again.”
As we can see, the Microsoft executive has not given details about what is to come, but his message suggests that in the future we could experience a Start menu that not only allows us to scroll through all the applications by clicking on it. scrollbut also a more in-depth redesign that “makes this section great again.”
