Windows also has DirectUI, very alike WPF which it uses internally (and also has some 3rd-party OSS implementations).

WinForms/Win32 is the first UI platform that Windows supported. It's getting less used because of the new UI platforms.

I don't really understand how do they define WPF, UWP, XAML and DirectUI now or how do they compare. XAML was the language used behind WPF but it seems they have changed the terms.

The start menu in Windows 10 was created in XAML: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9968679

You mentioned third-party OSS implementations of DirectUI. Can you provide links?
