MICROSOFT IS SECRETLY WORKING ON SEVERAL NEW WINDOWS 11 FEATURES

By Simon Batt Published 2 days ago

The company is currently working away on desktop stickers and a Windows 11
tablet mode, despite never announcing them publicly.



Microsoft has been working hard to make Windows 11 the best it can be, including
adding new features to the brand-new operating system. While the software giant
hasn't officially announced them, an eagle-eyed user has spotted a few new
features in the works, including a new stickers feature and an upcoming tablet
mode for Windows 11.




MICROSOFT'S UNANNOUNCED NEW FEATURES FOR WINDOWS 11

As reported by The Verge, Microsoft is currently working away on a few new
features that it hasn't announced. A Twitter user called Albacore dug into
Windows 11's code and found evidence of wallpaper stickers and a new tablet
mode.

First up, Albacore covers Windows 11's new desktop sticker feature. At the
moment, the feature hasn't been fully fleshed out yet, so it's a little
bare-bones right now. However, from first impressions, it seems to be a
personalization feature to help you make your desktop truly yours.



At first glance, it seems you can edit and place stickers on your desktop, which
persist even if you change your wallpaper. However, the feature is limited right
now; it doesn't work on slideshows and only works on single-monitor setups.

It's unknown if these caveats will persist in the final release, or if they're
simply teething problems as Microsoft irons out the bug with this new feature.

Next up, Albacore uncovered hints at a new tablet mode:



Tablet mode is nothing new for Windows operating systems; the option first
debuted on Windows 10. When enabled, tablet mode changes how the operating
system works to suit portable devices better. It's especially handy on laptops
that can convert into a tablet when you detach the keyboard.

Albacore also notes a few extra features hidden away:





SOME WELCOME ADDITIONS FOR WINDOWS 11

Microsoft has quite a bit of a challenge ahead of it when convincing users to
upgrade to Windows 11. It made a bad first impression when it announced the
somewhat-restrictive system requirements for Windows 11.

After that, solid-state drive (SSD) owners were unhappy with Windows 11's
performance, as a few bugs in the system meant that things loaded a little
slower than some would like. Fortunately, Microsoft is releasing a patch to fix
these issues, but it did mean that Windows 11 left some SSD owners with a
less-than-ideal first impression.

As such, it's good to see that Microsoft is working full steam ahead to make
Windows 11 a better operating system, even if it involves adding a few novel
features such as stickers on the desktop.

If Microsoft wants to make an impact on a community that's gotten very
comfortable with Windows 10, it needs to enhance Windows 11 in a way that
convinces people that it's worth making the jump to upgrade their PC.





WHAT'S NEXT FOR WINDOWS 11?

While these features are a great insight into what Microsoft wants from Windows
11, it also suggests that it likely has some more unannounced features up its
sleeves. As such, Windows 11 fans should keep their eyes peeled for any new
features that appear, either through Microsoft's announcements or through
discoveries such as Albacore's own.
