Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, said during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 report that one of the company’s goals is to win back lost Windows fans, and that users of the operating system remain the company’s priority. TechSpot writes about it.
“When it comes to our consumer business, we are doing the foundational work required to win back fans and strengthen engagement across Windows, Xbox, Bing, and Edge. In the near term, we are focused on fundamentals, prioritizing quality and serving our core users better,” Nadella said.
Nadella said that Microsoft is already working on fixing Windows 11. Recently, the company announced that it was changing its approach to the OS and would focus on speeding up the system and reducing the number of bugs.
Among other things, the CEO noted that the company’s goal is also to improve performance for devices with less RAM. Microsoft also wants to simplify the Windows update interface and focus on the “core features and fundamentals that matter most to customers”.
Among the latest changes in Windows 11 is the ability to indefinitely postpone system updates, as well as skip them completely during the first installation. Microsoft has also started removing Copilot from applications where it is not needed, added a display of NPU activity in Task Manager, added a built-in Internet speed test, and more.
In addition, Microsoft has initiated a transition from web technologies such as React and WebView2 to fully native frameworks such as WinUI 3. A key step in this direction is the complete redesign of the Start menu, which was previously based on React, allowing it to work directly at the system level without unnecessary software layers.
The move away from web containers in favour of native code is expected to significantly reduce RAM usage in Windows 11 and eliminate interface lag. This change will also ensure more stable system performance even on devices with limited resources.
