  • Could Windows 11 Phone Shell Be Next? Xbox XFSE, Widgets, and ARM Windows
    November 23, 2025, 1:04 AM EST. Is the dream of a Windows 11 Phone Full Screen Experience really crazy? The article revisits the Xbox Full Screen Experience (XFSE) and nostalgia for Windows Media Center, and asks whether Windows 11 could become a sofa-friendly, TV-like UI controlled by an Xbox controller or remote. It notes that XFSE sits atop Windows, with limited apps today, but hints at future quick access to Netflix and web apps within the Xbox shell. The piece imagines a Start Menu Full Screen Experience, an expanded Windows 11 Widgets surface, and a more open mobile launcher concept. It also ties this to Windows on Arm, Copilot+ on PC, and the Snapdragon X Elite era, arguing that ARM-native Windows could power a new generation of Windows-powered devices. Not crazy, just plausible.
