After shipping the initial release of Windows 11, Microsoft is back at its drawing boards, shaping the next feature update for the latest operating system. According to Microsoft's strategies, Windows 11 will be getting one "big" update every year, giving the company enough time to pack a new version with many changes and new features. While many enthusiasts patiently wait for Microsoft to deliver promised Android apps support, Windows developers work on many minor quality-of-life improvements.

Here are a number of methods to enable Color Filters in Windows 11. The newest OS has a built-in set of color filters to help users with visual disorders (color blindness). It lets people use modern computers without buying or installing third-party software with similar capabilities.

AMD recently notified users that updating from Windows 10 to the stable version of Windows 11 might throw a wrench into their systems. Due to a bug or poor optimizations, Windows 11 causes significant spikes in L3 cache delays on compatible AMD-based systems. Those spikes, in turn, reduce performance in games and memory-sensitive apps up to 15%. To make things worse, the first cumulative update for Windows 11 crippled performance more by increasing L3 cache delays four times.

Microsoft shipped Windows 11 earlier this month without one key feature the company promised: Android app support. Microsoft is currently testing Android apps in Windows 11 internally, and the company plans to ship the feature to Windows insiders soon. There is not much information about how Windows 11 will work with Android applications. All we know is that Microsoft partnered with Amazon to offer users an option to install Android apps from the Amazon App Store. Also, Windows 11 might support installing Android apps from other sources.

You can open the classic Disk Cleanup tool in Windows 11 if you prefer the cleanmgr.exe tool over Settings. In Windows 11, Microsoft introduced an improved version of the Storage Sense tool that takes care of your drive and ensures it never runs out of free space.

Here's how to add TPM to a VMWare Player virtual machine to install Windows 11. A few weeks ago, Microsoft started enforcing Windows 11 hardware requirements for Virtual Machines, making many VMs incompatible and unable to receive further Dev builds due to missing TPM support. Although Pro-level virtualization software supports Trusted Platform Module (VMWare Workstation Pro or Parallels Desktop), popular free alternatives miss that feature. Oracle is currently working on a TPM passthrough driver for its VirtualBox virtual machines, and VMWare Workstation Player (the free version of Workstation Pro) now offers Windows 11-compatible software TPM.

Here is how you can change the DPI display scaling in Windows 11. Increasing or decreasing the display scaling in Windows 11 is how you make UI elements in Windows 11 smaller or bigger. Windows 11 calculates the scaling factor for your monitor automatically, that may not follow you preferences, especially if you have a large display with a high resolution.

One of the changes Microsoft promised for Windows 11 users was a completely overhauled set of "3D" emojis. After several months of waiting, Microsoft finally delivered the promised redesign. Yesterday, Microsoft released a new Dev build for Windows insiders with the new emojis. After installing the build, users quickly discovered that reality is often disappointing and the new emojis have little in common with those Microsoft promised to deliver.
