Microsoft Responds to User Feedback, Prioritizing New Windows 11 Features
Detak.Media - Microsoft is actively seeking direct input from Windows 11 users to shape the future development of the operating system. Through a recent initiative tied to the Global Hackathon event, the company is soliciting feature requests to improve relevance and optimize daily user experiences.
The call for feedback was spearheaded by rudy Huyn, Architect partner for Windows and Microsoft store, who shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) inviting users to share their most desired features.
HuynS involvement is especially encouraging to the Windows community. He gained recognition for championing high-quality third-party applications during the Windows Phone era, effectively addressing gaps in Microsoft’s official offerings. His established reputation for prioritizing user experiance lends meaningful weight to his invitation.
User responses to Huyn’s post have highlighted several areas for advancement. A common complaint centers on the performance of virtual desktops in Windows 11, wiht many users reporting a less fluid experience compared to Windows 10. Another frequently requested feature is the ability to view folder sizes directly within File Explorer. Currently, users must either access the Properties tab for each folder or create a compressed archive – a method that alters the reported size due to compression.
Responding to this feedback,Huyn labeled the folder size request as “Very Good Feedback,” signaling a strong likelihood that the feature will be natively integrated into a future Windows 11 update. This news is welcomed by users seeking more efficient file and folder management without relying on workarounds.
Microsoft’s increased responsiveness to user input is fostering optimism for the continued evolution of Windows 11, with hopes that essential and highly-requested features will be incorporated in upcoming releases.
