Microsoft Is Fixing Windows 11 Apps After Years of Torture

Microsoft is addressing issues with Windows 11 apps that have plagued users for years, by transitioning to an open-source WinUI framework on GitHub. This framework is used to create modern Windows 11 interfaces, such as Fluent Design, rounded corners, dark mode, modern animations, and other interface improvements. WinUI has already been gradually integrated into parts of Windows 11, including the Settings, Microsoft Store, Notifications, and File Explorer.

The shift is aimed at replacing older Windows interfaces with newer designs. This change comes after years of reliance on web-based technologies, which often resulted in apps consuming excessive memory and system resources. Microsoft has already faced complaints regarding applications like Teams and Weather. The renewed focus on WinUI does not imply an immediate overhaul of all Windows apps.

Major Microsoft products, including Teams and the new Outlook, still depend heavily on web technology.
