Windows 11 hasn't even been released yet, so this cannot be known. Any
claims of "much more secure" comes from press releases and other marketing
materials. Microsoft don't exactly have a good reputation for accuracy and
honesty here.

However, it would have to try quite hard to be *less* secure than previous
versions of Windows. Unless one actually needs to run Windows, the
comparison should be against other platforms which can also do the job, and
not just whatever garbage Microsoft churned out last time.
