Microsoft Event on June 24: What's New in Windows? Another generation or New Features?

Microsoft has been teasing a “next generation” of Windows for months now. The tech giant, with the new Windows update may address a lot of lingering problems. For example, rearranging apps issue on multiple monitors, an upcoming Xbox Auto HDR feature, and improvements to Bluetooth audio support, new UI, new app store, File Explorer improvements, etc.

The company, in several easter eggs, has teased Windows 11 event before the event. Since it is now gearing up for its big Windows event on June 24, users are keen to know what it's doing with the new variant of Windows. This is likely to include a major user interface refresh codenamed Sun Valley.

A Microsoft event for Windows 11?

During Microsoft's Build 2021 conference, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft would share more about the next Windows. He had said that it would be the most significant updates of Windows of the past decade. He further added that he has been self-hosting it over the past several months. The tech leader called it the next generation of Windows. Microsoft also announced a new Windows 10 update last month with minor changes. But to be the “next generation”, it will have to be more.

The word “next generation of Windows” has stuck with people. The company, in 2015, had stated that Wibdows 10 would be the last version of Windows. Yet, we have our hopes high on Windows 11? Reprots suggest that a big UI refresh may roll out this year. The Sun Valley project will give Windows 10 a new Start menu and Taskbar layout, icons, sounds, app designs, and fluid animations. Further, Microsoft could revamp the Windows App store.

Further, in a new video on YouTube, the software giant has published an 11-minute collection of startup sounds from various versions of Windows at 4,000% slow speed. Microsoft positioned this as a relaxing video for those far too excited by the Windows event on June 24th. This may set a precedent to whatever the tech giant calls the next version/generation of Windows. Microsoft has been teasing a new version of Windows recently. It has dropped many hints that it could, in fact, be called Windows 11, states The Verge.

The Windows event will live-stream for consumers starting at 8:30 pm IST on June 24.
