Twitter user @techosarusrex, an avid Windows enthusiast, highlighted a subtle yet significant shift in the Settings layout. Microsoft has introduced a distinct “System Components” section, strategically placed under the “System” menu. Accessing this section reveals an organized display of all core system applications.

It’s an intriguing move that promises enhanced user experience, showcasing Microsoft’s commitment to both functionality and user-friendly design. We recommend exploring this feature to better acquaint yourself with Windows 11’s evolving landscape.

Microsoft is gearing up for more Windows 11 enhancements. The anticipated Windows 11 23H2 update, confirmed to launch later this quarter, promises to introduce a range of new features. While the company has already graced users with several updates through the Moment 4 22H2 feature rollout, the upcoming 23H2 feature update is set to bring more improvements, such as the “System Components” addition we recently highlighted.

For those keeping track, Microsoft is presently focused on refining the system requirements for Windows 11 23H2, ensuring a seamless experience for its users.

Microsoft’s endeavors to distinguish system applications isn’t a new concept. A similar move was spotted in July within the Dev channel. Observant users would have noted that the Start menu icons for stock apps transitioned from the “Microsoft” label to the more descriptive “System” label.

Microsoft’s dedication to refining Windows 11 is evident with their consistent updates. A mere month following their labeling change, they rolled out an option in the Windows 11 Canary channel, allowing users to effortlessly uninstall specific apps.

Though on a different note, by August in the Dev channel, they ensured system components would open using the user’s default browser – but here’s the catch: this tweak was exclusive to the European Economic Area (EEA).
