Microsoft promises to release new features for Windows 11 at a faster pace in the future

Microsoft recently pushed many new features such as the Android subsystem, fast-mute function, and time display improvements to Windows 11 through optional updates. For some users, these new features may be relatively small detail improvements. After all, this is not a major annual update, so naturally, there will not be too many new features.

The good news is that Microsoft hopes to gradually establish stable and fast feature updates for the official version through this rhythm, in order to make up for the slow rhythm caused by the annual update. For example, several improvements to the taskbar launched this time were originally new functions tested in the development channel, and Microsoft did not bind them to a specific version and pushed them to users in advance.

Initially, in the development channel, Microsoft officially announced that the new features of the development channel are no longer tied to a specific version, but will be released as appropriate after testing. Although most important updates in the current development channel are still tied to a specific version, Microsoft has begun to gradually push some new features directly to the Windows 11 official version.

In an official blog released today, Microsoft executive Panos Panay said that in the future, Microsoft will release feature updates with a smaller size and a faster frequency. In this way, users can quickly get new features without waiting for a long time, and the annual large-scale update once a year will also maintain the original rhythm of development. This means that in the future, Microsoft will push more urgently-needed feature updates or optimizations in advance, so that users can quickly get their favorite features for the best experience.
