One of the topics that has long been of the greatest interest is what the interface of Windows 12 could be, and above all What changes should I make? Microsoft about the Windows 11 interface to improve it and make it more user friendly.

I’ve been using Windows 11 as my main operating system for about 10 months now, and the truth is that there are some things I like about its interface, but there are others that I strongly believe I do. great room for improvement.

I could make a much longer list, but in order not to expand too much in this article, I will share with you. five really important changes which Microsoft should introduce in the Windows 12 interface and which would serve to significantly polish the aesthetics and user experience of the mentioned operating system.

We don’t have an official release date for Windows 12 yet, but I’m confident it won’t be released before the end of Windows 10’s life cycle, so At best, it could come at the end of 2025and at worst at the end of 2026.

As always, I invite you to leave your opinion in the commentssince you’re sharing with us things you’d also like to see in the Windows 12 interface, make yourself comfortable.

1.- Floating taskbar in Windows 12 interface

The taskbar integration in Windows 11 is undoubtedly one of the things that has a lot of room for improvement. Having it integrated by default in a single block located at the bottom of the screen seems to me to be an outdated and not very functional design, as it takes up and it wastes a lot of space.

It also doesn’t fit the general design of Windows 11 aesthetically and has practically become an anachronism. With a floating main panel and compact space at the bottom It could be put to much better use. Take a look at the image that leads this section, there we can see what a main panel of this type would look like.

The result is very good, both aesthetically and functionally. The main panel only takes up the space it really needs for each pinned app, allowing your wallpaper to show off better. At the same time, we have free space in the corners, don’t we can be used to implement other elementsalso floating to maintain a uniform design language.

This interface change would be one of the biggest achievements that Microsoft could achieve with the Windows 12 interface, and at the same time it should be one of the easiest.

2.- Minimalist action center

This change would be possible thanks to the previous one, that is, thanks to the implementation of the main panel floating, centered and minimalistic. I wanted to link the two so that you can see the importance that a decision as seemingly simple and easy as transforming the dashboard in this way can have.

With this new main panel, we have a free space in the lower right corner that can be used for integration the center of events in an independent spaceas well as other blocks such as controlling and displaying the date and time. Clicking on them will expand and show us various configuration options.

This type of interface would also be many more visually attractive and intuitive. By displaying separate blocks with action center icons and date and time icons, the user would have clearer information about the click behavior of each. This area can also be reserved for system notifications.

The good thing about this change is allows for some flexibility when integrating the action center and other elements, that is, it would not be necessary to follow the pattern of white rectangles, they could be integrated in different ways and accompanied by transparency effects to improve the integration with the wallpaper.

3.- Separate search bar

By removing the search bar from the main bar, we can compact even more and simplify his behavior. Placing the search bar in a separate and clearly distinguished position would improve user interaction with it, making it simpler and more visually appealing.

The integration that the taskbar has in Windows 11 It’s not poorly thought out on a functional levelbecause it is located just to the right of the Windows icon that takes us to the Start menu, and is perfectly distinguished by the text “search”. However it doesn’t look good aesthetically said because it breaks the unity of the taskbar icons and looks like “goo”.

Incorporating the search bar into a separate and independent position from the main bar would be a great achievement on Microsoft’s part. As I said, it would allow compacting the main panel, make it more visually appealing and to better centralize their functions around the Start menu and the icons and apps we’ve pinned.

New search bar can be integrated into the top of the screenbut you can also search other places. For example, it could be placed in one of the spaces that would remain in the lower corners after reducing the length of the main panel. In this sense, I think Microsoft would do well to give the user the freedom to move it around and place it where it suits them best.

4.- Widgets better integrated into the Windows 12 interface

Widgets became an important part of Windows 11, but the way they were implemented was not successful. They are located on the left side of the screen and They seem to take up a large portion of the screen when we click in the bottom corner, where by default there is a widget dedicated to time, which is integrated into the main panel.

Once again, we return to the importance of separating and centering the main panel. This frees up space in the left corner the ability to better integrate widgets without them being dependent on the taskbarand give them more differentiation and their own space that they can use much better.

With this change, the visual appeal of the Windows 12 interface is also improved and becomes more intuitive and user-friendly, as thanks to the independence and perfect grouping of widgets, the user is aware of everything available to him at a glance. click and you can directly get more accurate information in real time, without having to click on the widgets.

It would also be relatively easy to implement the change and give the user the option place widgets freely, and even stacking them together would be a big hit on Microsoft’s part.

5.- Better organized Start menu

This would be one of the most important changes that Microsoft should prioritize in the Windows 12 interface, as the current Start menu that Windows 11 uses It’s a real disasterboth because of the arrangement of its elements and the amount of space it wastes.

Microsoft has prepared a new Start menu for Windows 11 and the changes it has made to this menu seem right to me, although I think things can still be done much better. For example, Start menu divided into four blocks It would be a great success because it allows you to make the most of the space and increase its functional value while maintaining an intuitive and well-organized interface.

The first block could contain application folders separated by category, the second block should be on the right and could show us that applications and programs which we use most often. The third block could be placed in the bottom half of the left half, just below the first block, and could be integrated files we opened recently (text documents, photos, etc.).

Finally, we would have a fourth block, which would take up little space vertically, where our name and user photo would appear, and right at the end, on the right, some icons dedicated to file explorer, to the menu configuration and settings and more to access options here and there computers.
