TNews – In the world of technology, anticipation is building as Microsoft gears up for the release of Windows 12, expected to make its debut in 2024. Based on previous release patterns, we can likely expect it to hit the shelves in October 2024, according to Intel’s CFO. While we await the official release, here’s a sneak peek at what the next Windows iteration may have in store.
New Look and Feel
One of the most anticipated changes in Windows 12 is its revamped user interface. Although direct screenshots of Windows 12 are not yet available, Microsoft teased the design prototype at last year’s Microsoft Ignite Keynote. The design seems to be moving closer to macOS, with the taskbar transitioning from its traditional location at the bottom of the screen to a floating, macOS-like Dock. The central alignment of icons adds to the macOS resemblance.
Furthermore, system icons, usually found in the right corner of the taskbar, will be shifted to the upper right corner, creating an interface similar to macOS’s menu bar. In the upper left corner, there appears to be something, although the function remains unclear in the released image – it might be a menu or something else.
A unique element in the design is a floating object in the middle at the top, possibly a search bar. Windows 12 is also rumored to come with a new lock and login screen, enhanced touch-friendliness, a revamped notification center that can group notifications by both apps and individuals, and the ability to pin widgets directly to the desktop.

Another exciting addition is the Dynamic Wallpaper, which will employ AI to create parallax effects on 2D wallpapers. While Microsoft is experimenting with various design elements for Windows 12, the one teased at the Microsoft Ignite Keynote is likely the frontrunner for the new interface.
