Microsoft has given many built-in apps a much-needed makeover:

 Windows Terminal is now built into Windows 11 instead of a separate app you download from the Microsoft Store. With it, you can use only one command-line shell for executing commands in PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Azure Cloud Shell.

 Paint has a received a fresh look, with sleek menus and visuals and useful tools for basic image editing.

 Photos has a better user interface, a new photo-viewing experience, and an updated photo-editing toolbar. Book 4, Chapter 3 shares what you need to know about using this app.

 Snipping Tool combines the Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps from Windows 10 into one screen shot–taking app. The new app from Windows 11 is better and simpler to use than its predecessors.

 Xbox from Windows 11 is better than it was in Windows 10. If you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, the Xbox app lets you play through Xbox Cloud Gaming directly, with no browser required.

 Clock now includes focus sessions, which help you improve productivity by implementing time-management methodologies such as the Pomodoro technique.

 Calculator is even more advanced than in Windows 10 and can plot equations in graphing mode.

 Microsoft Store looks better, works better, and includes a lot more useful apps than it did in Windows 10. Another cool aspect is that the search experience makes it easier to filter your results.

 Microsoft Teams is now part of Windows 11 and added to the taskbar, to the right of the widgets icon. Read Book 6, Chapter 2, for more on Teams.

There are also some general improvements at a user interface level, which come in handy:

 Quick settings are now separate from notifications and offer more things you can toggle on and off. Windows 11 apps can add their own quick settings (for example, Spotify), and they’re easily accessible with a mouse and keyboard as well as touch. To see them in action, press Windows+A on your keyboard.

 Microsoft has improved the touch experience, with more space between icons on the taskbar. Windows 11 also adds haptics to your digital pen, so you can hear and feel vibrations as you take notes or draw on the screen.

 Windows 11 introduces voice typing and commands.
