Microsoft is promoting web apps, WebView2, and browser shell solutions in Windows 11, primarily based on considerations of development efficiency and maintenance costs. Many developers are more familiar with React, web technologies, and cross-platform frameworks. To quickly attract developers and expand the ecosystem, Microsoft finds it difficult to force them to switch to native routes like WinUI 3. Microsoft is testing the 'Deferred Message Timing' API to help developers diagnose performance bottlenecks in WebView2 apps and optimize app performance in specific scenarios. Meanwhile, Microsoft encourages developers to create AI apps for Windows 11, providing tools such as DirectML and ONNX, and recommends using the OnnxRuntime framework along with languages like C++, Python, and C#. Additionally, the adoption process of Windows 11 is accelerating, with increased usage on the Steam platform. High-end hardware configurations in Chinese internet cafes are leading globally, with some already deploying RTX 5000 series graphics cards to enhance gaming experiences.
