Microsoft appears to be making another long-overdue cleanup inside Windows 11.

One of the oldest pieces of the Windows interface, the File Explorer Properties dialog, is finally getting a modern redesign. A new WinUI-based version has been spotted in recent preview builds when viewing properties for items in the Recycle Bin, suggesting Microsoft plans to update the rest of the dialog as well.

While it’s only an early preview, it’s another sign that Microsoft is continuing to replace aging Windows components with a more consistent interface. The update is also expected to improve features users have wanted for years, including proper dark mode support and a more unified look throughout Windows 11.
