7 new Windows 11 features and more big changes coming in 2025 that you'll actually care about

It's a new year for Windows 11, one that Microsoft is proudly calling the year of the Copilot+ PC. As Windows 10's end of support date nears, millions of users will need to consider an upgrade to Windows 11 this year. So, I thought it would be a good idea to take a peek behind the curtain at what Microsoft is currently working on for Windows 11 in 2025.

Some of the features we're taking a look at are yet to be announced. Improvements to the Start menu, System Tray, Battery Icon, and File Sharing are all on the cards, and we can take an early look at them today thanks to the latest Windows 11 preview builds and @phantomofearth on X, who has discovered pretty much all of the unannounced features in development so far.
