With Microsoft’s plan to take users further into the future, with the help of their new operating system, it was pretty obvious that the company was going to tweak some of its trademark apps.

The tech giant is now giving users the ability to alter even more values than they previously could with Windows 10, for the Mixed Reality app.

Instead of the more basic and conservative settings panel that the application had on Windows 11’s predecessor, Microsoft has added some more choices.

The aim here is to significantly improve user experience, and deliver a much more personalized and immersive dive into the awesome world that is virtual reality.
