UWP
The Universal Windows Platform introduced by Microsoft, used to develop applications that run on a variety of Windows devices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Microsoft's approach to old Win32 interfaces is mainly to retain and mark them as deprecated rather than delete them outright, extending capabilities by introducing new API sets (such as UWP/WinRT and modern Win32 wrappers).
WinUI 3 was officially released in 2021 alongside Windows App SDK 1.0, and is the result of Microsoft separating the UWP UI layer from the operating system for independent evolution.
The current WinUI 3 has broken free from the constraints of UWP and can be used in traditional Win32 desktop applications.
Microsoft has successively released more modern UI frameworks including WPF (2006), UWP (2015), and MAUI (2022).
