Introducing Windows 11
Windows has always existed to be a stage for the world’s innovation. It’s been the backbone of global businesses and where scrappy startups became household names. The web was born and grew up on Windows. It’s the place where many of us wrote our first email, played our first PC game and wrote our first line of code. Windows is the place people go to create, to connect, to learn and to achieve – a platform over a billion people today rely on.
The responsibility of designing for that many people is one we don’t take lightly. The past 18 months brought an incredible shift in how we used our PCs, we went from fitting the PC into our life to trying to fit our whole life into the PC. Our devices weren’t just where we went for meetings, classes, and to get things done, but where we came to play games with friends, binge watch our favorite shows and, perhaps most meaningfully, connect with one another. In the process we found ourselves recreating the office banter, the hallway chatter, workouts, happy hours, and holiday celebrations – digitally.
What was so powerful was the shift in the PC we saw and felt – from something practical and functional to something personal and emotional. This is what inspired us as we were building the next generation of Windows. To build you a place that feels familiar, where you can create, learn, play, and most importantly connect in all new ways.
Today, I am humbled and excited to introduce you to Windows 11, the Windows that brings you closer to what you love.

At a time when the PC is playing a more central role in our lives, Windows 11 is designed to bring you closer to what you love.
The responsibility of designing for that many people is one we don’t take lightly. The past 18 months brought an incredible shift in how we used our PCs; we went from fitting the PC into our lives to trying to fit our whole lives into the PC. Our devices weren’t just where we went for meetings, classes and to get things done, but where we came to play games with friends, binge watch our favorite shows and, perhaps most meaningfully, connect with one another. In the process we found ourselves recreating the office banter, the hallway chatter, workouts, happy hours and holiday celebrations – digitally.
What was so powerful was the shift in the PC we saw and felt – from something practical and functional to something personal and emotional. This is what inspired us as we were building the next generation of Windows. To build you a place that feels familiar, where you can create, learn, play and most importantly, connect in all new ways.
Today, I am humbled and excited to introduce you to Windows 11, the Windows that brings you closer to what you love.
Redesigned for productivity, creativity and ease
We’ve simplified the design and user experience to empower your productivity and inspire your creativity. It’s modern, fresh, clean and beautiful. From the new Start button and taskbar to each sound, font and icon, everything was done intentionally to put you in control and bring a sense of calm and ease. We put Start at the center and made it easier to quickly find what you need. Start utilizes the power of the cloud and Microsoft 365 to show you your recent files no matter what platform or device you were viewing them on earlier, even if it was on an Android or iOS device.
Windows has always been about helping you work how you want, by offering flexibility of multiple windows and the ability to snap apps side by side. New in Windows 11, we’re introducing Snap Layouts, Snap Groups and Desktops to provide an even more powerful way to multitask and stay on top of what you need to get done. These are new features designed to help you organize your windows and optimize your screen real estate so you can see what you need just the way you want in a layout that’s visually clean. You can also create separate Desktops for each part of your life and customize them to your liking – imagine having a Desktop for work, gaming or school.
Windows 11 cuts through complexity and brings you simplicity.
A faster way to connect to the people you care about
Another critical part of bringing you closer to what you love is bringing you closer to the people you love. The last 18 months drove new behavior for how we create meaningful connections with people digitally. Even as we start to return to more in-person interaction, we want to continue to make it easy for people to stay close with each other no matter where they are. And we don’t want the device or platform you’re on to be a barrier.
With Windows 11, we’re excited to introduce Chat from Microsoft Teams integrated in the taskbar. Now you can instantly connect through text, chat, voice or video with all of your personal contacts, anywhere, no matter the platform or device they’re on, across Windows, Android or iOS. If the person you’re connecting to on the other end hasn’t downloaded the Teams app, you can still connect with them via two-way SMS.
Windows 11 also gives you a more natural way to connect with friends and family through Teams, allowing you to instantly mute and unmute, or start presenting directly from the taskbar.
Delivering the best PC gaming experiences yet
If you’re a gamer, Windows 11 is made for you. Gaming has always been fundamental to what Windows is all about. Today, hundreds of millions of people around the world game on Windows and find joy and connection with loved ones and friends through play. Windows 11 unlocks the full potential of your system’s hardware, putting some of the latest gaming technology to work for you. Like: DirectX 12 Ultimate, which can enable breathtaking, immersive graphics at high frame rates; DirectStorage for faster load times and more detailed game worlds; and Auto HDR for a wider, more vivid range of colors for a truly captivating visual experience. Nothing has changed in our commitment to hardware compatibility – Windows 11 supports your favorite PC gaming accessories and peripherals. With Xbox Game Pass for PC or Ultimate, gamers get access to over 100 high-quality PC games with new games added all the time, and it’s still just as easy to find people to play with, no matter if they’re playing on a PC or console.

A faster way to get the information you care about
Windows 11 brings you closer to the news and information you care about faster with Widgets – a new personalized feed powered by AI and best-in-class browser performance from Microsoft Edge. Even when we’re at our most focused and creative we still need breaks – a moment to check in with the outside world or give ourselves a mental reset. Today, we often pick up our phones to check the news, weather or notifications. Now, you can open a similarly curated view directly from your desktop. When you open your personalized feed it slides across your screen like a sheet of glass so it doesn’t disrupt what you’re doing. For creators and publishers, Widgets also opens new real estate within Windows to deliver personalized content. Our aspiration is to create a vibrant pipeline for global brands and local creators alike, in a way that both consumers and creators can benefit.
An all-new Microsoft Store where your favorite apps and entertainment come together
The new Microsoft Store is your single trusted location for apps and content to watch, create, play, work and learn. It’s been rebuilt for speed and with an all-new design that is beautiful and simple to use. Not only will we bring you more apps than ever before, we’re also making all content – apps, games, shows, movies – easier to search for and discover with curated stories and collections. We’re excited to soon be welcoming leading first and third-party apps like Microsoft Teams, Visual Studio, Disney+, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zoom and Canva to the Microsoft Store – all offering incredible experiences to entertain, inspire and connect you. When you download an app from the Store you have the peace of mind of knowing it’s been tested for security and family safety.
We’re also pumped to announce that we are bringing Android apps to Windows for the first time. Starting later this year, people will be able to discover Android apps in the Microsoft Store and download them through the Amazon Appstore – imagine recording and posting a video from TikTok or using Khan Academy Kids for virtual learning right from your PC. We’ll have more to share about this experience in the coming months. We look forward to this partnership with Amazon and Intel using their Intel Bridge technology.
Creating a more open ecosystem unlocking new opportunity for developers and creators
We are taking steps to further open the Microsoft Store to unlock greater economic opportunity for creators and developers. We’re enabling developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to bring their apps regardless of whether they’re built as a Win32, Progressive Web App (PWA), or Universal Windows App (UWP) or any other app framework, creating an opportunity to reach and engage with more people. We’re also announcing a progressive change to our revenue share policies where app developers can now bring their own commerce into our Store and keep 100% of the revenue – Microsoft takes nothing. App developers can still use our commerce with competitive revenue share of 85/15. We believe creating a more open ecosystem ultimately benefits our customers – giving them secure, frictionless access to the apps, games, movies, shows and web content they want and need.

Faster, more secure and familiar for IT
For IT, Windows 11 is built on the consistent, compatible and familiar Windows 10 foundation you know. You’ll plan for, prepare and deploy Windows 11 just as you do today with Windows 10. Upgrading to Windows 11 will be like taking a Windows 10 update. The familiar management experiences you have in place today – like Microsoft Endpoint Manager, cloud configuration, Windows Update for Business and Autopilot – will support your environment of tomorrow as you integrate Windows 11 into your estate.
Just as with Windows 10, we are deeply committed to app compatibility, which is a core design tenet of Windows 11. We stand behind our promise that your applications will work on Windows 11 with App Assure , a service that helps customers with 150 or more users fix any app issues they might run into at no additional cost.**
Windows 11 is also secure by design, with new built-in security technologies that will add protection from the chip to the cloud, while enabling productivity and new experiences. Windows 11 provides a Zero Trust-ready operating system to protect data and access across devices. We have worked closely with our OEM and silicon partners to raise security baselines to meet the needs of the evolving threat landscape and the new hybrid work world.
You can learn more about Windows 11 as the operating system for hybrid work and learning in the Microsoft 365 blog .
It’s a great time to buy a PC
Since day one of developing Windows 11, we have been working closely with our hardware and silicon partners for seamless integration across software and hardware. That co-engineering begins with innovation in the silicon. From AMD and the incredible graphics depth brought by the Ryzen processors to the incredible performance of Intel’s 11th gen and Evo Processors, to Qualcomm’s AI prowess, 5G and Arm support, the innovation of our silicon partners brings together the best of Windows 11 with the largest hardware ecosystem in the world.
And with Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Surface and others, we’ve worked to ensure most PCs* you can buy today will be ready for Windows 11 – across a variety of form factors and price points.
Together, we’ve tuned Windows 11 to not only be optimized for speed and efficiency, but to take advantage of improved experiences with touch, inking and voice.
When you use Windows 11 on a tablet without a keyboard, we’ve improved the experience for touch, creating more space between the icons in the taskbar, adding bigger touch targets and subtle visual cues to make resizing and moving windows easier, as well as adding gestures. We’re also enabling haptics to make using your pen even more engaging and immersive – allowing you to hear and feel the vibrations as you click through and edit or sketch. Lastly, we’ve brought forward enhancements in voice typing. Windows 11 is incredible at recognizing what you say; it can automatically punctuate for you, and comes with voice commands. This is a fantastic feature for when you want to take a break from typing and speak your ideas instead.
Windows 11 will be available through a free upgrade for eligible Windows 10 PCs and on new PCs beginning this holiday. To check if your current Windows 10 PC is eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 11, visit Windows.com to download the PC Health Check app . We’re also working with our retail partners to make sure Windows 10 PCs you buy today are ready for the upgrade to Windows 11. The free upgrade will begin to roll out to eligible Windows 10 PCs this holiday and continuing into 2022. And next week, we’ll begin to share an early build of Windows 11 to the Windows Insider Program – this is a passionate community of Windows fans whose feedback is important to us.
This is just the beginning
Windows is more than just an operating system; it’s a fabric woven into our lives and in our work. It’s where we connect with people, it’s where we learn, work and play. Over time it’s remained familiar and adapted to us. We hope you’re as pumped as we are for Windows 11.
We can’t wait to see what Windows 11 empowers people to do and inspires them to create.
* Look for PCs that indicate they are eligible for the free upgrade, or you can check with your retailer for more information.

- Zero Trust Security
If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that organizations must be resilient, and technology has been more critical to that resilience than ever before. The global pandemic accelerated digital transformation in ways never before imagined, and we are honored and humbled that so many of you chose Windows as the platform for that transformation.
Hybrid work and learning are here to stay, and that means your organization needs an operating system that enables your people to work or learn at home, in the office or at school, and everywhere in between. It also needs to be easy for IT teams to manage, and it must provide advanced security to address the increasingly complex cybersecurity environment.
Today we announced Windows 11 , which is the operating system for hybrid work and learning. As someone who joined Microsoft during the pandemic, I’ve been living hybrid work every day, as I don’t live in Redmond like many Microsoft employees. I’d love to share with you why I’m excited about Windows 11 as I work remotely and support my kids as they learn in a hybrid environment. I’ll also share what Windows 11 could mean for your organization and why you should get started now. Let’s dive in.
An operating system designed for hybrid work and learning
In today’s world of hybrid work and learning , our PCs are more than word processors and app platforms. They are our window to the world. They connect us with our colleagues, friends, students, and family, with knowledge and tools to solve problems and create in new ways. PCs link our work, learning, and personal lives, and our computing experience when we work, teach, and learn needs to be more personal.
Today we announced Windows 11, which reimagines Windows to deliver new experiences that work how you work and learn. The customer experience is more important than ever—not only for productivity, but for student engagement, employee satisfaction, retention, and attracting new talent. Windows 11 delivers a more streamlined, more personal computing experience that doesn’t compromise performance, security, and manageability.
As we think about what that new experience means for hybrid work and learning, we have modernized the overall user interface, while still maintaining its familiar feel. We have worked to make the Start Menu more modern, and we’ve made it easier to find your apps and recommended documents.
Like many of you, I often have several windows open throughout the day as I work on documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. With Windows 11, we focused on improving the way you interact with these windows—how you organize them, snap them to specific areas on the screen, group them together, and toggle back to those snap groups when you need them. In fact, one of my favorite features is that when I undock and re-dock my machine as I move around throughout my day, Windows 11 remembers my snap groups across my screens, saving me time and keeping me in the flow of work.
You’ll also see visual enhancements in Office that take advantage of Windows 11, giving you a more seamless and simple PC experience across your apps based on the Fluent design language and system. For example, I’m a big fan of Dark mode. Microsoft Office now matches your Windows theme so you can experience the visual refresh in whichever Office theme you prefer, including Dark mode, white, colorful, or dark grey.
Meetings are how many of us get work done, and we all have stories about talking on mute or needing to be sure everyone can see the presentation you’re sharing. To help, we have also created deeper integration with collaboration and communication apps like Microsoft Teams to make it easier to mute or unmute your mic or share your desktop or even a single application during a meeting directly from the desktop taskbar.
But Windows 11 isn’t just for me. Like so many kids around the world, my kids have been learning remotely or in hybrid—alternating between home and school over the past year. As I’ve explored the features in Windows 11, I’m excited about the expanded accessibility enhancements. For example, sometimes my daughter feels more comfortable saying something out loud instead of typing. With expanded gesture, voice, and pen interactivity, she can type using her voice and write with a digital pen in almost any app. This can empower all students—regardless of their abilities or learning preferences—to access materials on their own, boosting their confidence and sense of agency, while teachers can personalize learning for all students and make the best use of their classroom time.
So many of our kids have also learned how to use video to learn remotely or in hybrid settings, but it can be distracting. To help, Windows 11 offers new tools that reduce distraction—from smart cameras that blur background movement to settings that minimize visual clutter. These innovations will enable all learners to focus and do their best work, whether they are at home or in the classroom.
And as a parent, security—especially when it comes to my kids—safety online is of utmost importance. Windows 11 is designed to help protect students—whether they are at home or at school—by blocking dangerous and inappropriate content.
These are only a few of the ways we’ve made the user experience in Windows 11 great for hybrid work and learning. I encourage you to check out Panos Panay’s blog to learn even more. For those looking to learn more about Windows 11 in Education, visit the Education site .
Easy for IT to deploy and manage
Hybrid work and learning have added even more complexity for IT. Users are no longer working or learning from a single location, and they may have to work or learn on different devices. What IT needs from an operating system for this new world of hybrid work and learning is greater simplicity.
Windows 11 is built on the consistent, compatible, and familiar Windows 10 foundation you know. You’ll plan for, prepare, and deploy Windows 11 just as you do today with Windows 10. Upgrading to Windows 11 is similar to taking a Windows 10 feature update. The familiar management experiences you have in place today—like Microsoft Endpoint Manager, cloud configuration, Windows Update for Business, and Autopilot—will support your environment of tomorrow as you integrate Windows 11 into your estate. And when Windows 11 becomes available in the Windows Insider Program, Windows Enterprise and Education customers can also test it out on Azure Virtual Desktop.
We’ve also heard from many of you that an annual update works best for you, and a simplified servicing plan makes it easier to deploy. So, Windows 11 will be updated annually with 24 months of support for Home or Pro editions, and 36 months of support for Enterprise and Education editions.
Just as with Windows 10, we are deeply committed to app compatibility, which is a core design tenet of Windows 11. We stand behind our promise that your applications will work on Windows 11 with App Assure , a service that helps customers with 150 or more users fix any app issues they might run into at no additional cost. Since 2018, App Assure has worked with thousands of customers and evaluated almost 800,000 apps with a 99.7 percent application compatibility rate. For that remaining 0.3 percent, the App Assure team will engage directly with you to get your apps running.
We’ve also launched Test Base for Microsoft 365 . Test Base is an automated application testing tool in preview that you can use to test those business-critical applications. If the tests show that the app might have issues, again, App Assure will be there to help you.
Organizations can move eligible PCs directly to Windows 11 using Windows Update for Business if they are running any supported version of Windows 10, which is Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1909 or higher, or Windows 10 Pro version 20H1 or higher.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming days, and please join us on July 21, 2021, for Tech Community Live: Windows edition , an interactive, virtual event to help you plan and prepare for Windows 11.
With advanced security from the chip to the cloud
Security has never been more important. In the most complex cybersecurity environment we’ve ever seen, you need the next-generation platform that evolves to address the changing threat landscape, especially as your users are moving across networks, devices, and applications.
Windows 11 is Zero Trust ready and secure by design, with new built-in security technologies that will add protection from the chip to the cloud, while enabling productivity and new experiences. Key security features like hardware-based isolation, encryption, and malware prevention are turned on by default. We have also made going passwordless easier by simplifying the steps to deploy Windows Hello for Business. And all these components work together in the background to keep users safe without sacrificing quality, performance, or experience. We have also worked closely with our manufacturer and silicon partners to raise security baselines to meet the needs of the evolving threat landscape and the new world of hybrid work and learning. The new set of hardware security requirements that comes with Windows 11 is designed to build a foundation that is even stronger and more resilient to attacks.
In fact, our particular security journey with Windows 11 dates back to 2019, when we announced the first secured-core PCs . This was a major evolution in digital security. Secured-core PCs, developed in partnership with our PC manufacturing and silicon partners, apply best-practices security techniques to the firmware layer—or device core—that underpins Windows. Secured-core PCs are twice as resilient to infection as traditional PCs. Along with our industry partners, in 2020 alone we processed more than 30 billion authentications and protected users from 30 billion email threats and nearly 6 billion threats to endpoints.
Stay tuned in the days and weeks to come for even more details about security in Windows 11 and our ongoing investments in our broader security solutions to help you to keep your data safe across your devices, operating system, applications, and more.
Continued innovation in Windows 10
Today more than 1.3 billion monthly active devices use Windows 10, and we are honored and humbled by how many people choose Windows 10 for work, play, and learning. As you make the move to Windows 11, we will continue to support you as you use Windows 10. In fact, we will release Windows 10, version 21H2 in the second half of 2021 with new updates to current features that enable hybrid work like Universal Print and enhancements to management and deployment features like Windows Autopilot.
We’re committed to making Windows 11 work for you, on your terms. That includes the flexibility to upgrade eligible PCs to Windows 11 as soon as the end of this year, and to have both Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices managed together in Microsoft Endpoint Manager; or you can update to Windows 10, version 21H2 to stay on an updated, secure, and supported version of Windows 10 as you plan your Windows 11 journey.
Also, if you aren’t using it already, we recommend you onboard to Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Endpoint Manager, where we’ll be providing insights to help you determine your readiness for a move to Windows 11 in the coming months, including understanding and addressing device hardware requirements.
The operating system for hybrid work and learning
Windows 11 is the operating system for the world of hybrid work and learning. Here are a few ways you can get started now:
- Once Windows 11 is available in the coming weeks, join the Windows Insiders Program to start to experience Windows 11 in preview. If you are an Enterprise or Education customer, you can also use Azure Virtual Desktop to start to explore Windows 11.
- If you haven’t already, move to cloud management with Microsoft Endpoint Manager to leverage the power of the cloud to manage all of your Windows endpoints—whether they are Windows 10, Windows 11, or even virtualized with Azure Virtual Desktop. Within Microsoft Endpoint Manager, you can use cloud configuration to speed deployment and Endpoint Analytics to make assessing the move to Windows 11 even easier.
- You can trust the security we’ve built into Windows 11, and if you haven’t invested in a secured-core PC, now is the time. We’ve also invested to make it easier to go passwordless with Windows Hello for Business.
- Kick off a pilot to see how well it works in your environment—and remember that when it comes to application compatibility, we’ve got you covered with App Assure.
We are excited for the new experiences Windows 11 will bring to you as you navigate hybrid work and learning. We are on this journey with you and ready to help every step of the way.

Tutorial: Create a WPF application with Visual Basic
- 12 contributors
In this tutorial, you'll create an application using Visual Basic in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). Your program will use the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) UI framework. Use this tutorial to become familiar with many of the tools, dialog boxes, and designers that you can use in Visual Studio.
In this tutorial, you learn how to:
Create the project
Configure window and add text, add buttons and code, debug and test the application, debug with breakpoints, build a release version, what is wpf.
WPF, or Windows Presentation Foundation, is a UI (user interface) framework that creates desktop client applications. The WPF development platform supports a broad set of application development features, including an application model, resources, controls, graphics, layout, data binding, documents, and security.
WPF is part of .NET, so if you have previously built applications with .NET using ASP.NET or Windows Forms, the programming experience should be familiar. WPF uses the Extensible Application Markup Language XAML to provide a declarative model for application programming. For more information, see WPF .NET overview .
Prerequisites
You need Visual Studio to complete this tutorial. Visit the Visual Studio downloads page for a free version.
When you create an application in Visual Studio, you first create a project. In this tutorial, create a Windows Presentation Foundation project.
Open Visual Studio.
On the Create a new project screen, search for "WPF", and select WPF App (.NET Framework) . Select Next .
Give the project a name, HelloWPFApp , and select Create .
Visual Studio creates the HelloWPFApp project and solution. Solution Explorer shows the various files.
The WPF Designer shows a design view and a XAML view of MainWindow.xaml in a split view.
On the start window, choose Create a new project .
On the Create a new project window, search for "WPF" and select Visual Basic in the All languages drop-down list. Choose WPF App (.NET Framework) , and then choose Next .
For more information about eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML), see XAML overview for WPF .
Using the Properties window, you can display and change options for project items, controls, and other items.
In Solution Explorer , open the MainWindow.xaml .
In the XAML view, change the value of the Window.Title property from Title="MainWindow" to Title="Greetings" .
On the left side of the Visual Studio IDE, select the Toolbox tab. If you don't see it, select View > Toolbox from the menu bar or Ctrl + Alt + X .
Either expand Common WPF Controls or enter Text in the search bar to find TextBlock .
Select the TextBlock item and drag it to the window on the design surface. You can move the TextBlock control by dragging it. Use the guidelines to place the control.
The XAML markup should look like the following example:
In the XAML view, locate the markup for the TextBlock and change the Text attribute:
Center the TextBlock again if necessary
Save your app by choosing the Save All toolbar button. Alternatively, to save your app, choose File > Save All from the menu bar, or press Ctrl + Shift + S . It's a best practice to save early and often.
Your application uses two radio buttons and a button. Use these steps to add them. You'll add Visual Basic code to the button. That code refers to the radio button selection.
In the Toolbox , find RadioButton .
Add two RadioButton controls to the design surface by selecting the RadioButton item and dragging it to the design surface. Move the buttons by selecting them and using the arrow keys. Place the buttons side by side under the TextBlock control.
In the Properties window for the left RadioButton control, change the Name property at the top of the Properties window to HelloButton .
In the Properties window for the right RadioButton control, change the Name property to GoodbyeButton .
Update the Content attribute for HelloButton and GoodbyeButton to "Hello" and "Goodbye" in the XAML.
In the XAML view, locate the markup for HelloButton and add an IsChecked attribute:
The IsChecked attribute with the value True means that HelloButton is checked by default. This setting means that the radio button is always selected, even when the program starts.
In the Toolbox , find the Button control, and then drag a button to the design surface under the RadioButton controls.
In the XAML view, change the value of Content for the Button control from Content="Button" to Content="Display" .
Your window should resemble the following image.
On the design surface, double-click the Display button.
MainWindow.xaml.vb opens, with the cursor in the Button_Click event.
Add the following code:
Next, you'll debug the application to look for errors and test that both message boxes appear correctly. To see how this process works, the first step deliberately introduces an error into the program.
In Solution Explorer , right-click on MainWindow.xaml and choose Rename . Rename the file to Greetings.xaml .
Start the debugger by pressing F5 or selecting Debug , then Start Debugging .
A Break Mode window appears, and the Output window indicates that an exception has occurred.
Stop the debugger by choosing Debug > Stop Debugging .
You renamed MainWindow.xaml to Greetings.xaml at the start of this section. The code still refers to MainWindow.xaml as the startup URI for the application, so the project can't start.
In Solution Explorer , open the Application.xaml file.
Change StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml" to StartupUri="Greetings.xaml"
Start the debugger again (press F5 ). You should now see the Greetings window of your application.
Select Hello and the Display button, and then Goodbye and the Display button. Use the close icon in the upper right corner to stop debugging.
For more information, see Build a WPF application (WPF) and Debug WPF .
You can test the code during debugging by adding some breakpoints.
Open Greetings.xaml.vb , and select the following line: MessageBox.Show("Hello.")
Add a breakpoint by pressing F9 or selecting Debug , then Toggle Breakpoint .
A red circle appears next to the line of code in the left margin of the editor window.
Select the following line: MessageBox.Show("Goodbye.") .
Press the F9 key to add a breakpoint, and then press F5 to start debugging.
In the Greetings window, select the Hello button, and then select Display .
The line MessageBox.Show("Hello.") is highlighted in yellow. At the bottom of the IDE, the Autos , Locals , and Watch windows are docked together on the left side. The Call Stack , Breakpoints , Exception Settings , Command , Immediate , and Output windows are docked together on the right side.
On the menu bar, choose Debug > Step Out .
The application starts again. A dialog box with the word "Hello" appears.
Choose the OK button to close the dialog box.
In the Greetings window, choose the Goodbye radio button, and then choose the Display button.
The line MessageBox.Show("Goodbye.") is highlighted in yellow.
Choose the F5 key to continue debugging. When the dialog box appears, choose OK to close the dialog box.
Close the application window to stop debugging.
On the menu bar, choose Debug > Disable All Breakpoints .
Now that you've verified that everything works, you can prepare a release build of your application.
Select Build > Clean solution to delete intermediate files and output files that were created during previous builds.
Change the build configuration for HelloWPFApp from Debug to Release by using the dropdown control on the toolbar.
Select Build > Build Solution .
Congratulations on completing this tutorial! You can find the .exe you built under your solution and project directory ( ...\HelloWPFApp\bin\Release ).

How to Get Keynote on Windows? Complete User Guide!
By: Author Shrot Katewa
One of the benefits of Apple’s ecosystem is its host of apps and services. You will hear a lot of Mac users rave about the Keynote app. But, what if you are a Windows user? Or perhaps, you’ve just made a switch to a PC from a Mac (unfortunately). Can you run Keynote on Windows?
To use Keynote on Windows, you will first need to create an Apple ID, then login to your iCloud account using a web browser and click on the Keynote app. You will now be able to use Keynote through a Windows PC!
There are some caveats though. Running Keynote on a web browser has its own set of challenges. Keep on reading to find out more.
How to Get Keynote on Windows? (Step-by-Step Guide)
Keynote is a presentation app just like Microsoft’s PowerPoint. It comes free with every Mac computer. Usually, when you want to take a Keynote file and open it on Windows, you would need to convert it to a PowerPoint file.
That is because there was no native app for Keynote on Windows. That said, there is an effective and easy workaround though. Here is the good news – you can use Keynote on Windows!
The way you do it is simply by using Apple’s iWork suite for iCloud. It works very similarly to Google Docs and all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.
I will break down the steps of getting Keynote on Windows in easy-to-understand steps. Let’s get started.
Step 1 – Create an Apple ID (if you do not have one)
This is the first step in using Apple’s presentation software on Windows. You will need an Apple ID. Even if you do not have any other Apple products, you will still need it to log into iCloud. Create an Apple ID with the appropriate information. You can now use this ID to log into.
If you already have an Apple ID, you can skip this step.
Step 2 – Log in to iCloud
Next up is logging into your iCloud. You can use your Apple ID for all of Apple’s services. Use the ID to log into your iCloud account. From here you can access the Keynote web version. Fill in your ID and password and press enter.
If you do not want to type in your ID and password every time, you can check the ‘ Keep me signed in’ option.
Step 3 – Click Keynote and Start Working
After you log in, you will be taken to the iCloud homepage. Which looks something like this.
You can see all the apps you can use. These are cloud-based and synced with your ID. On the lowermost row, you will see the Keynote icon. Click that and you will be taken to the web version of the app.
That is all basically it. From here you can use Keynote on windows – at least the web version.
How to Use Keynote on Windows?
The great thing about it is just as smooth as a native application. Make sure to have a decent internet connection and a modern web browser and you are all set.
You can tap the ‘+’ button at the top to start working on a presentation . On the right of the button are your folder button, upload button, and the delete button. All the visible buttons are pretty self-explanatory.
Once you click the ‘+’ button you will come to a theme selection screen. It will look something like this.
From here, pick the theme you want and voila! You are all good to go. Then add slides, texts, effects, pictures and more.
How to Open a .key file on Windows?
If you can create Keynote presentations, it makes all the sense in the world that you should be able to open a .key file even on Windows.
The ability to open a .key file on a Windows operating system comes in really handy especially when you have received this type of file from a colleague or a client when you are using a Windows computer.
You essentially have two ways to open a .key file on Windows. Keynote saves files in the .key format.
Option 1 – Using Keynote Web
The first option is to literally open it using the way you would use Keynote on windows. You can upload .key files through the web version of Keynote. Log into your iCloud account and click on the keynote icon.
On the top bar, you will see an upload button. Click that and now you can open any .key file from your computer.
Option 2 – Converting .key file to PowerPoint
The other option is a bit cumbersome. For this, you will need to convert the .key file to PowerPoint or a .pptx file.
Both Keynote and PowerPoint are presentation software. Yet they are not totally compatible with each other since they use proprietary technology. If the first method does not work for you, you can easily use a conversion software and convert it to a format Windows will open – and that is a ppt.
It should work like a charm after you convert it. To convert you will need a converting application. They are easily available on the internet. A simple Google search will give you plenty of options.
Caveats to Using Keynote on a Browser
As you might imagine, not using an app natively can have some problems. Although the app works really well there are some minor hiccups. The only downside, some might face is lack of snappiness you might experience when using the natively.
Then there is also your internet connection. You need to have a decent enough internet speed to have a smooth and quick experience. All the transitions and effects require some bandwidth to load.
Not a major problem though. All in all, a good experience. Remember there are some other limitations though. For example, file sizes cannot exceed over 1GB. If you plan on using images (which if you are making a presentation, you should be using anyway), they can be up to 10MB at maximum.
So, in conclusion, here are some of the caveats that you encounter when using Keynote on a Browser –
- Good Internet Connection – Using Keynote through your iCloud account on a browser is heavily dependent on a good internet connection
- File Size limit – The Keynote file cannot exceed 1 GB
- Limitation on Image Size – The size of the images used in the presentation can not exceed 10 MB
- User Experience – Some users may experience a lack of snappiness as compared to the desktop version of the application.
Keynote Alternatives for Windows
Of course, Keynote is not your only option on Windows for making a presentation. There are quite a few alternatives. Here are some of the most popular ones.
1. Microsoft PowerPoint
PowerPoint is Microsoft’s presentation software. The great thing is it is natively available for both Windows and Mac. Unlike Keynote on Windows, you do not need to use PowerPoint on a browser on Macs.
PowerPoint is one of the, if not the most popular presentation software. There are a lot of animations. You can choose from 50 animation effects. You can export PowerPoint files into different formats as well like .png or .pdf.
2. Google Slides
Google Slides is a web-based presentation software. You will be required to use it through a web browser no matter whether you are on a Mac or Windows. It does not have all the features that PowerPoint or Keynote has.
Still, it isn’t bad either. There are about 15 animations. Google Slides is great for sharing and collaborating with others though. You can even access slides offline. For that, you will need the Google Slide app from the chrome web store.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of using Google Slides is that it’s free. Keeping in line with most of Google’s services, the search giant made the service free to use just like most of its Google Drive Suite of apps.
The interface is sleek and quite intuitive to use. You cannot import videos at this moment though. YouTube video embedding is supported, however.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it! Now you know how to get Keynote on Windows. If you are a fan of Apple’s presentation app, you can use it both on Macs and Windows now. All in all, Keynote is quite a powerful software and it’s a great thing that Windows users have a shot at using it.

WPF is a .NET Core UI framework for building Windows desktop applications.
Folders and files
Repository files navigation, windows presentation foundation (wpf).
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a UI framework for building Windows desktop applications.
WPF supports a broad set of application development features, including an application model, resources, controls, graphics, layout, data binding and documents. WPF uses the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to provide a declarative model for application programming.
WPF's rendering is vector-based, which enables applications to look great on high DPI monitors, as they can be infinitely scaled. WPF also includes a flexible hosting model, which makes it straightforward to host a video in a button, for example.
Visual Studio's designer, as well as Visual Studio Blend, make it easy to build WPF applications, with drag-and-drop and/or direct editing of XAML markup.
As of .NET 6.0, WPF supports ARM64.
See the WPF Roadmap to learn about project priorities, status and ship dates.
WinForms is another UI framework for building Windows desktop applications that is supported on .NET (7.0.x/6.0.x). WPF and WinForms applications only run on Windows. They are part of the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop SDK. You are recommended to use the most recent version of Visual Studio to develop WPF and WinForms applications for .NET.
To build the WPF repo and contribute features and fixes for .NET 8.0, Visual Studio 2022 Preview is required.
Getting started
- .NET 6.0 SDK , .NET 7.0 SDK
- .NET Preview SDKs (8.0 daily, 7.0 servicing)
- Getting started instructions
- Contributing guide
- Migrating .NET Framework WPF Apps to .NET Core
- We are currently developing WPF for .NET 8.
See the WPF roadmap to learn about the schedule for specific WPF components.
Test published at separate repo Tests and have limited coverage at this time. We will add more tests, however, it will be a progressive process.
The Visual Studio WPF designer is now available as part of Visual Studio 2019.
How to Engage, Contribute and Provide Feedback
Some of the best ways to contribute are to try things out, file bugs, join in design conversations, and fix issues.
- This repo defines contributing guidelines and also follows the more general .NET Core contributing guide .
- If you have a question or have found a bug, file an issue .
- Use daily builds if you want to contribute and stay up to date with the team.
.NET Framework issues
Issues with .NET Framework, including WPF, should be filed on VS developer community , or Product Support . They should not be filed on this repo.
Relationship to .NET Framework
This code base is a fork of the WPF code in the .NET Framework. .NET Core 3.0 was released with a goal of WPF having parity with the .NET Framework version. Over time, the two implementations may diverge.
The Update on .NET Core 3.0 and .NET Framework 4.8 provides a good description of the forward-looking differences between .NET Core and .NET Framework.
This update states how going forward .NET Core is the future of .NET. and .NET Framework 4.8 will be the last major version of .NET Framework.
