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.
