Anticipating Windows 12: Enhancements We Long For

As we eagerly anticipate the release of Windows 12, it's essential to voice our expectations and desires for the next iteration of this iconic operating system. Here's a breakdown of what we hope to see in Windows 12:

  1. Faster Execution: We envision a Windows 12 that operates with lightning speed, offering seamless performance even on older hardware. Enhancements in optimization and resource management are paramount to achieving this goal. Users crave an OS that responds instantaneously to commands and launches applications swiftly, enhancing productivity and user satisfaction.

  2. Better UI Design: A visually appealing and intuitive user interface is integral to the Windows experience. We anticipate a sleek and modern design language in Windows 12, with customizable elements to cater to individual preferences. Consistency across all aspects of the UI, from icons to menus, will streamline navigation and enhance user interaction.

  3. Support for Android Apps: In an increasingly interconnected digital landscape, the integration of Android app support into Windows 12 would be a game-changer. Seamless compatibility with popular Android applications would broaden the software ecosystem, empowering users with access to a vast array of tools and services. This integration would bridge the gap between PC and mobile platforms, offering a unified experience across devices.

  4. Enhanced Security Features: Security remains a top priority for users in an age of digital threats and privacy concerns. Windows 12 must bolster its defenses with robust built-in security features, including advanced encryption, secure boot processes, and proactive threat detection mechanisms. Empowering users with greater control over their data privacy settings and implementing stringent security protocols will instill confidence in the platform.

  5. Expanded App Store Library: The Windows Store is a cornerstone of the Windows ecosystem, providing users with a curated selection of applications and utilities. However, we aspire to see an expansion of the Store's offerings in Windows 12, with a focus on quality and diversity. Encouraging developers to bring their apps to the platform through incentives and support programs will enrich the user experience and foster innovation.

In conclusion, Windows 12 represents an opportunity to redefine the standards of excellence in operating system design. By addressing the expectations outlined above – faster execution, better UI design, support for Android apps, enhanced security features, and an expanded app store library – Microsoft can deliver a next-generation OS that delights users and propels the Windows platform into the future.

Let's continue to engage in constructive discussions and feedback as we embark on this exciting journey toward Windows 12.

    You should consider posting this in the Feedback Hub, as Microsoft engineers actively monitor the Feedback Hub.

    Something that Windows 12 requires are the good features that got removed from the previous versions of Windows like the gadgets feature. Microsoft should probably redesign it. And they should add more options in the context menu when we right click the taskbar just like Win 10 ,8,7 etc. They should also add more AI features too and the system requirements should be a bit low they should make the minimum amount of ram 4GB or 6GB.Microsoft store should get more apps from android, and they should also add good security features and faster performance.
    also, in my opinion they should bring the live tiles back. They should also bring back the 32bit Windows because there are many systems which are running on a 32-bit processer and cannot run Win11 and not only that win10 is ending support next year and so those people running on a 32-bit processor have no option and so they might have to switch to alternatives such as Linux which will be big loss for Microsoft so if they bring back the 32-bit Windows Microsoft can make a big profit.

      the Y2K38 problem meant that computers running on a 32-bit processer would fail in the year 2038,so is better for Microsoft to end support for 32 bit processor and make 32 bit processor obsolete.

        I get why people are eager to move on from 32-bit, but retiring it completely isn’t that simple. There are still countless devices like routers, medical equipment, point-of-sale systems running stable 32-bit operating systems. In many low-resource settings or legacy environments, 32-bit remains reliable, efficient, and well-understood. Instead of forcing obsolescence, we should prioritize patching critical issues like Y2K38 and supporting hybrid compatibility. Not every system needs to chase the latest architecture to stay useful. Plus, let’s not forget most older computers still run on x86 hardware. If Microsoft phases out support too aggressively, it risks alienating users who rely on these systems. That opens the door for Linux, which continues to support lightweight and legacy hardware with far more flexibility. This isn’t just a technical decision it’s a strategic one that affects accessibility, sustainability, and user trust.

        Hence Microsoft should consider bringing back x86 architecture.

      What about being able to change the highlight colour for file names/titles listed in folders?

       

      Instead of the default light blue highlight, enable the option to select other colours to easier see selected files (light or fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, light pink, light green).

    I hope windows 12 doesn't take up a lot more processing power than windows 11. i also hope we will be seeing a new windows page maybe similar to Linux! As windows gets better and better i feel like one part i don't like is this push for AI and how its in our faces i like AI but only when i need it. Finally I hope they change Edge to be a good search en-gen liked Bing until some sites did not work on it. if it was compatible with all sites I would use it. that's my take on it.

    As of now, Windows 12 is just a rumor and NOT official.
    However, from experience, there would be new and and enhanced features coming as we saw for Windows 7, Windows 8 , Windows 10 and Windows 11.

    SunilKumarFx  Hi.

    "We envision a Windows 12 that operates with lightning speed, offering seamless performance even on older hardware."

    That would be great, but it's not realistic -> on outdated computers, as far as I know Android apps for Windows it will be discontinued forever!
