Windows 11 has wanted to pay homage to some nostalgic users by bringing back a download interface that many will remember from the past. And it is that, to the surprise of the users testing the Canary updates, the updated interface reflects designs reminiscent of the early days of Windows 10, one of the most beloved systems by users, and still widely used today compared to Windows 11.
It is an interesting detail that will catch the attention of those who reluctantly jumped into the Windows 11 news, a system that, although it does not have major flaws, does not fully convince users in general.
Windows 11 and its 10-year interface
This change, which has been discovered by users testing Canary features in Windows 11, reflects that the download interface could regain the appearance it had a decade ago, when Windows 10 was taking its first steps and Windows 7 was starting to be left behind by its newer version.
Social media has echoed this design available in one of the Canary versions of Windows 11, which can be seen a design and interface that are not typical of the design patterns that the company currently follows.
Windows 11 plans
It is evident, after more than two years in circulation, that Windows 11 has not managed to gain a foothold among the public at the level that Microsoft expected. While the current Operating System of the company barely exceeds 26% of active users of the total, those who continue to use Windows 10 exceed 68% of the total. The remaining figures, on the other hand, would be taken by Windows 7 and 8 in a residual way.
Microsoft is trying to boost growth in every possible way for Windows 11, but it is not succeeding. That is why, for this 2024, there were rumors that the company would decide to make the leap to Windows 12, although the latest reports indicate that, instead, Windows 11 would be maintained for a while, and that the next update, although it remains within the current ecosystem, without making a new leap, will represent a great advancement in functionalities, giving more prominence to Artificial Intelligence.
