Windows 11 is getting Android apps, taskbar improvements, and more next month

A public preview of Microsoft's Android apps for Windows 11 will be launched next month, along with some other improvements. The changes to Windows 11 will be part of the first big update, according to a post by the Windows chief.

The ability to show a clock on secondary monitors is one of the improvements to the taskbar. At the launch of Windows 11, there were missing features like drag and drop, but Microsoft is still working to bring them back.

Microsoft started testing the weatherwidget last month and it will be included in the upcoming Windows 11. Microsoft is redesigning its Notepad and Media Player apps, and both include dark modes and design changes that are more in line with Windows 11.

There will be a new addition to Windows 11. This will be a public preview, which means that the feature will still be available in the public when it is widely available next month. The feature that allows you to install a limited number of apps from Amazon's Appstore was started by Microsoft in October. There are a number of ways to get the Google Play Store to work on Windows 11.

Windows has become important over the past couple of years, according to a variety of statistics shared by Panay. The PC market has experienced strong growth throughout the Pandemic, and Windows 10 and Windows 11 now run on over one billion devices each month.

As we reflect on what is driving this structural shift in PC demand and usage, we see three enduring trends: the rise in hybrid work and learning, shifts in entertainment habits and distribution models, and changing consumer habits for everyday tasks.

Microsoft says it has seen a 6x increase in the number of people using its apps. Next month's Windows 11 update will make it easier to share your screen in Microsoft Teams and other video call apps. A new tab will appear when you hover over Teams on the taskbar, and it will allow you to quickly share window content on a call.

70 percent more people have streamed content on the internet since the start of the epidemic, and 35 percent have spent more time playing games.
