CTOnews.com, November 6, Windows is growing in size, and the latest version of Win11 is about 7.586% larger than the last version of Win10.

The latest Windows 11 23H2 ISO is about 6.24GB, while the size of Windows 10 22H2 is 5.8GB, and the former is larger than the latter.

Let's now review the historical data, that is, the recent change in the size of the Windows operating system, which is even more pronounced.

For example, the Win10 1703 version is less than 4GB, while the last Windows 10 version released in November 2022 grew to 5.8GB.

Of course, Windows 11 shows a similar trend. According to Windows Latest, the ISO sizes of the three versions of Windows 11 are as follows:

Windows 11 2021 (all versions) 64-bit-5.7GB

Windows 11 2022 (all versions) 64-bit-5.8GB

Windows 11 2023 (all versions) 64-bit-6.24GB

For now, the increase in the size of Windows 11 23H2 can be attributed to a series of new features, such as the new version of File Explorer developed based on WinAppSDK.

CTOnews.com noted that the Win11 23H2 update also adds a new "home" panel to the settings, which can display Microsoft 365 information through various "cards", including current status and benefits, and you can view OneDrive cloud storage directly from the settings.

As the Windows feature is constantly updated, its file size has naturally increased. But at the same time, a large number of users began to complain about the bloated pre-installed software in Win11.

Although Microsoft is trying to reduce the bloated problem of the system by breaking up App such as "Film and TV" and "Map", it is clear that it is not enough for these users.
