How to freeze main window when new window is opened WinUI 3?
They also have a Windowing Gallery Sample on GitHub here: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK-Samples/tree/main/Samples/Windowing

We're the Windows Developer team, and we're back to talk about the Windows App SDK 1.0 Stable release. Now, it’s time to ask us anything!
You can do this before the window is show, or at any later point in the app's lifecycle. For details on how to do this, check out the intro to Windows App SDK windowing (Manage app windows (Windows App SDK) - Windows apps | Microsoft Docs), our samples ( microsoft/WindowsAppSDK-Samples: API samples for the Windows App SDK (github.com)), and the detailed API documentation (Microsoft.UI.Windowing Namespace - Windows App SDK | Microsoft Docs).

When are we going to have smooth animations ?
I wish that was true, but even the new stuff, like their new frameworks, performs poorly while their older frameworks perform really well. That's brand new code, with no legacy codebase to care for.

WinUI Unpackaged --- What am I missing?
The reason why I don't recommend Winui is the million bugs it has. See the github issues page. All Microsoft ui stuff sucks currently. But if you use WPF why not FluentWPF
- Visual Studio UI will get redesigned

For the past year and a half I've been working on Wintoys, an app that let's you experience Windows in your way and keep it fresh everyday while having everything you need in one place
Development for WinAppSdk and WinUI 3 is also very slow and Microsoft seems to not want to push it and invest more developers into it for some reason. They try to improve the framework, is just it's a small team. For example it was a headacke to apply the Mica backgrop and required unmanaged code, they made it simpler and reduced it to a line of code but it took months. I have 2 out of 7 issues fixed on WinAppSdk repository and 0 out of 8 issues fixed in the WinUI 3 repository (some of the older than a year). This are just my issues, there are many other opened by other developers. So yeah, it wasn't fun at all. PoweshellSDK had an issue with the Import-Module command and it wasn't fixed for more than a year and probably won't be ever fixed, but I'm glad I found a workaround, even more clean and more safe, otherwise I couldn't have added the posibility to uninstall and change Store apps.

Build 23451 includes a better implementation of improved File Explorer tab dragging (you can drag tabs out to create a new window or drag between windows) - still a bit buggy but nice to see anyway!
Compared to UWP or WPF, WinUI 3 is somewhere between 100-200% slower and consumes 7-20 times as much RAM as the old frameworks (for certain operations).
