    Windows 11 event: All the new features and biggest announcements live

    Microsoft is putting on a special Windows 11 event entitled Windows Powers the Future of Hybrid Work, hosted by CEO Satya Nadella and Chief Product Officer Panos Panay.

    The company released a rather cryptic teaser last month, sparking speculation in the community as to what new Windows 11 features and services Microsoft might announce.

    We’ll have to wait until later to find out for sure, but all the signs point towards upgrades designed to boost productivity in this new era of hybrid working, where employees split their time between the home and office.

    The event description suggests Microsoft will also announce a few cybersecurity upgrades for Windows 11, with Azure cloud services set to play a role as well. And despite the business focus, we suspect there may be something in there for non-professional users too.

    The Windows 11 event kicks off at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST and we’ll be here with all the news as it’s announced.

    How to watch the Windows 11 event

    We’ll have all the news from the Windows 11 event right here on the blog, but if you’d like to watch along with us, you can find a stream on the Microsoft website here.

    We also suspect the even will be livestreamed on the Windows YouTube channel, like last time, but whether that’s the case or not won’t become clear until later.

    We’re still a couple of hours out from the start of the event, so to whet the appetite, why not take a look at some of our recent Windows 11 stories.

    We suspect that some of the rumors we’ve covered in recent weeks may get an official announcement later today.
