- It is available to try for testers, almost on time for the Rog Xbox Ally Handhelds
Microsoft brings a handful of changes Windows 11 operating system in preparation for the Rog Xbox Ally Handhelds. Beta Testers are already starting to see improvements in the user interface – and one function can be a considerable tool for navigation.
As reported by The edgeMicrosoft improves being Windows 11 Start the menu, now available for testers, with more adjustment options to make scrolling and finding applications easier. These can be sorted in individual categories (such as visible in the image below) or are used in the classic grid display.
Although all applications have always been accessible via the start menu, this improved version makes finding your application much easier. Instead of finding a specific app via the first letter or symbol, you can simply jump into a folder ‘games’ or ‘browsers’ folder, which eliminates the need to switch on desktop icons.
The ‘Recommended’ section can also be switched off, because this often reflects recently opened files or folders to make room for more apps, and now new categories. It is also worth noting that Microsoft states that the start menu will be larger, which will vary, depending on the screen size or the device that is used.
These lines perfect for the new login screen with which users can enter their pin code using a game controller and This is probably a preparation for the update “Full-Screen Experience” that comes for the new Windows 11 handhelds. However, there is one big advantage that OLED Users of users like me will also appreciate.
Analysis: some of my OLED-burning worries can rest …
I will be honest, in all those years I have used Dell‘S Alienware AW3423DWF OLED monitor, I have not encountered any problem with burning-in and that includes moments of complacency, so that static images are left on the screen. Yet I am still paranoid that it will eventually happen, and Microsoft’s efforts for a better start menu give me a slight sigh of relief.
Burn-in is one of the largest dealbreakers for gamers considering an OLED purchase, and that is why in some cases I would go so far to recommend a mini-guide monitor. OLED -Zorg on monitors, however, is continuously ahead, and although Microsoft may have had other intentions with this tester update, it has worked as a bonus.
Although Microsoft does this with its operating system, I would like to see the same concept that is being applied to games. Early access or multiplayer games often have a build number in the corner of the screen, and colleague OLED users will be aware of how much of a nightmare this is, because it is essentially an open invitation for burning.
Anyway, it is a positive step from Microsoft in the same week that it has announced an improved Xbox app. We will just have to see if it is enough to create strong competition for Steamos in terms of usability.
