mockup

Microsoft has put the release of Windows 12 on hold due to the departure of Panos Panay, the former head of Windows and Surface development. YouTuber BrentTech has created a concept video for Windows 12.1, featuring a floating taskbar, repositioned system icons, and a reimagined Start menu that includes a Phone Link sidebar and a dedicated widgets section. The concept integrates widgets directly into the Start menu and introduces an updated "About Windows" interface with a tile-based layout for system information. Additionally, the mockup includes a revamped File Explorer, a visually enhanced Settings app, and an updated Task View for improved desktop management.
