Microsoft is introducing a redesigned Run dialog for Windows 11 in its latest preview builds, modernizing it for the first time in over three decades.
Launcher's New Look
The updated Run prompt now features a design that aligns with Windows 11 aesthetics. The update, shared by X user Phantomofearth, resembles a modern launcher while maintaining its classic functionality.
The Run dialog allows power users to launch applications using shortcuts like "mspaint", "calc", and "dxdiag". This update adds a visual refresh while preserving its utility as a quick access tool.
Availability and Features
Users can choose to enable or disable the modern Run dialog in advanced system settings. While Microsoft has not officially announced this update, it is expected to appear in official Windows 11 builds shortly.
There is potential for this feature to expand, possibly incorporating capabilities such as a clipboard manager and an enhanced shortcut system.
