Microsoft confirms Windows 11’s File Explorer Properties dialog is a real WinUI rebuild, and more legacy dialogs are moving to WinUI next.

Microsoft says that their plan is to convert more Windows UI elements to WinUI3, while confirming that the new File Explorer Properties dialog was rebuilt from scratch in WinUI, and not just a fresh coat of paint.

Windows 11 has felt inconsistent for a while now. Modern panels are right next to decades-old dialogs, RAM usage keeps creeping up in apps that are supposed to be native, and popular Windows apps keep turning into web wrappers because developers don’t trust Microsoft to stick with a UI framework.

    I recently HAD to switch to Win11, and it looks like a child’s toy. I cannot express how much I hate its look. It feels like a 30-year step backwards.

    Sooner or later, I will be able to 100% leave the Microsoft (Microslop/Enshitifiaction environment.) On that day, I will be a lovable and righteous mother fucker.
