Microsoft working on adding new features, it seems

Microsoft is working on lots of new cool stuff for Windows 11, and while the company isn’t necessarily making everything public, we can fortunately have an early look at what’s coming thanks to the skilled community out there.

This time, Twitter user FireCube has discovered some new goodies that are projected to come to the famous Task Manager rather sooner than later.

The latest Windows 11 preview build comes with new information that would be displayed in the Task Manager, including battery life and startup information. It’s not known if this is the final design or not, it seems, but on the other hand, it’s pretty clear Microsoft wants to further expand the functionality of the Task Manager.

Not available just yet

Worth knowing is that this new Task Manager isn’t available just yet for insiders, but given Microsoft has already started working on this refresh, there’s a chance an announcement on this front will be made rather sooner than later.

In the meantime, however, Microsoft is gearing up to release the first major update for Windows 11, and obviously, this requires a lot of time to make sure everything is going to work smoothly.

This update is scheduled to go live as soon as this month, and one of the highlights is a public preview of the support for Android apps. In other words, everybody out there will finally be able to run Android apps on their Windows devices, as up to this point, this feature was exclusive to users in the Windows Insider program.

But of course, the software giant hasn’t offered a specific launch date for this highly anticipated update, but there’s a chance its debut isn’t far. It remains to be seen, however, if Microsoft wants to use a gradual release in stages or just push the improvements to all Windows 11 devices at the same time just like with a monthly quality update.
