It is reported that Microsoft is currently preparing some of the latest features for Windows 11.
It has now been confirmed that a new Insider Build (before the regular public release) will be released soon, adding some features that were not present in the first Windows 11 release, as well as adding new features.
These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use in Beta.
Start Menu Folders
As in mobile OS, when an app icon is dragged onto another app icon (dragging), a feature will appear that group them into a folder.

Due to the limited space available in the new start menu, this feature is said to be requested by many.
Snap Bar
It is said that the Windows Snap option, a new feature released with Windows 11, will be updated with new features. It comes with a dedicated panel (bar).
With that, in addition to going to the Maximize icon and snap, another way to snap the window will be added.
Windows 11 Aero (?)
Do you remember how the title bar of Windows was made transparent in Windows Vista and 7? With the new "metro" design pattern in Windows 8, that generation of transparent UIs came to an end. However, with the "Fluent" design language released with Windows 10, acrylic / blur patterns are back in use.

The title bars of Windows are made transparent (Fluent) to match the new blur, as in the old Aero theme.
Gestures for Tablets
Introduced several new gestures for tablet mode to quickly open Start menu, action center, quick setting panel etc.
These panels can then be opened by swiping anywhere on the screen.
Taskbar
Another function that was present in Windows 10 but not in 11 was drag-and-drop a file to an icon in the taskbar. It is reported that the removed feature will now be added back to Windows 11.
As the size of the icons in the taskbar increases, so does the UI display.
