Microsoft says Windows 11 changes are "directly influenced" by users

Microsoft says upcoming Windows 11 updates will be driven more directly by user feedback.

The company says 2026 will prioritize quality improvements, including performance, reliability, and usability.

Planned changes include taskbar customization, File Explorer upgrades, a quieter widget experience, and a redesigned Feedback Hub.

Microsoft also plans to keep moving features out of Control Panel and into Settings.
