About this tag
Windows 11's UI modernization is an ongoing effort to replace legacy interfaces with modern frameworks like WinUI 3. Recent updates include a slimmer hidden Run dialog, deeper dark mode support targeting the Registry Editor, and WinUI-based dialogs in Account settings. Third-party tools like Winhance have also migrated to WinUI 3 for a native look. Microsoft is cleaning up login screens, WinRE, and other legacy controls, though progress remains incremental. These changes reduce visual inconsistency and improve dark mode coverage, but many older UI elements persist across the OS.
