TL;DR

At Build 2026, Microsoft signaled a shift toward native Windows 11 apps by doubling down on WinUI, forming a dedicated team, and planning to rewrite key UI components in native code while de-emphasizing web-based approaches. The company aims to fix WinUI gaps, improve performance and memory use, and reduce tearing, with upcoming enterprise features like DataGrid and Charting, plus AI-assisted development workflows to encourage developers to build modern Windows apps using WinUI rather than web frameworks.
