Microsoft backs WinUI for Windows 11 native apps at Build 2026

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.

Microsoft bets on native Windows 11 to win back fans

Microsoft is refocusing Windows 11 on fundamentals—speed, quality, and a native-first UX—after acknowledging user friction and ads in setup. Satya Nadella pledges to win back fans, while internal teams push to move away from web wrappers toward native WinUI experiences, start menu improvements, and faster, leaner updates. The plan aims to reduce RAM usage, unify the ecosystem around 100% native apps, and position Windows as a base for on-device AI, with 1.6 billion active Windows devices and an ongoing rollout of 18+ improvements in 2026.

Microsoft bets on fully native Windows 11 apps with a dedicated native-first team

Microsoft is forming a new team led by Rudy Huyn to develop Windows 11 apps that are 100% native, moving away from web-based wrappers and PWAs. The shift aims to improve performance and UI consistency as part of a broader Windows 11 update focused on faster File Explorer launches, quicker context menus, and a redesigned Start menu and taskbar. Details on which apps will be rebuilt and how strictly “100% native” will be enforced remain forthcoming.

Microsoft bets on 100% native Windows 11 apps with new team

Microsoft says Windows 11 will get 100% native apps and is forming a dedicated team to build them, potentially using WinUI and moving away from web-based components. The update rollout will also include OS improvements like faster context menus, quicker File Explorer, and a WinUI-based Start menu with a movable/resizeable taskbar. It’s unclear whether all future apps will be fully WinUI-native or if existing web apps will be migrated, and some developers question the 100% native claim as current apps often mix WebView components.

"Netflix Compatibility Issues with Apple Vision Pro: What You Need to Know"

A survey of popular apps reveals that none will be available as native apps on the Apple Vision Pro at launch, with just over one-third available in compatibility mode. Notable apps like Spotify and Netflix have opted out, while others like Disney+ may become available later. The survey also found that several Apple apps may be available in compatibility mode, but it's unclear for some. Despite the limited availability of popular apps, indie developers are expected to offer high-quality apps for the new platform.

The Stocks app on the Apple Watch has been redesigned in watchOS 10, offering a new user interface and a richer experience. The app now provides more information at a glance, including price change, percentage change, and market cap. Users can switch between day, month, and year performance charts, and easily add stocks to their watchlist. The app syncs between the Apple Watch and iPhone, and continues to use Yahoo for its data.
