Last year, Windows 11 got a really useful app, and now it’s available on PCs powered by Snapdragon X chips. Called FluentFlyout, this app improves Windows 11 by adding helpful pop-up controls, like better options for managing your music and videos.
These pop-up controls are intuitive and I prefer them to the standard media controls in Windows 11’s Quick Settings. Plus, you can tailor them to your liking – keep them simple with just a few buttons, or expand them with detailed controls like timelines.
FluentFlyout now works on PCs with Arm-based processors, including those using the Snapdragon X Elite and the future Snapdragon X2 Plus.
I’m really excited about the latest update! It’s not just for people with ARM processors, either. Now, anyone using FluentFlyout can choose exactly which monitor their flyouts and taskbar widgets pop up on. It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference for multi-monitor setups!
FluentFlyout’s developers shared the highlights of the update recently.

If you want the unabridged change log, it’s available on GitHub.
Windows 11 hasn’t always felt polished, so it’s great to see someone focusing on the details and improving how it looks with subtle adjustments like refining the acrylic effect.
It’s understandable that smaller developers sometimes have slightly imperfect blur effects, especially since Microsoft hasn’t consistently settled on a clear design direction itself.
You can download FluentFlyout for free from the Microsoft Store, but some extra features cost $2.96. Alternatively, you can get all features completely free by downloading it directly from GitHub.
Do you use third-party apps to customize the look and functionality of Windows 11?
