Updated versions of existing controls: The library also contains updated versions of existing Windows platform controls that you can use with earlier versions of Windows 10. New controls: The Windows UI Library contains new controls that aren't shipped as part of the default Windows platform.

Featuresįor details on the work planned for the next release and to provide feedback, see the WinUI 2.8 milestone.

Maintaining down-level compatibility with earlier versions of Windows 10 enables WinUI 2 controls to work even if users don't have the latest OS. Windows UI Library (WinUI) 2 is tightly integrated with Windows SDKs and provides official native Windows UI controls and other user interface elements for UWP applications (and desktop applications using XAML Islands). For more information on building Windows desktop apps with the latest version of WinUI, see Windows UI Library 3.
