Hands-on with Windows 10 build 20221 showcasing the new Start menu

Yesterday, Microsoft released a new build of Windows 10 that includes an updated Offset menu design with translucent Alive Tiles, improvements to Notifications, and beliefs changes to things like Tablet Mode and the Taskbar. It's been a while since Microsoft released a build with whatever surface-level changes, simply now it's finally happened, we're back showcasing all the changes on video.

The new Offset bill of fare is only the beginning of some of the UI changes Microsoft is planning to make to Windows 10. It's non a huge modify, but it makes all the difference. In the by, the Start menu was a messy looking UI, just with these changes, the Offset bill of fare Live Tile interface looks uniform and minimalist.

At present, non every app abides by these new translucent designs, only most of Microsoft's in-box apps do. Over time, this will improve. It'southward pre-release right now, and honestly a dandy showtime wait at the piece of work Microsoft is doing to Start. Notifications are also receiving a minor UI update, with an X for dismissing notifications instead of an arrow.

Microsoft is also experimenting with unlike Taskbar layouts when settings up a PC for the first fourth dimension, depending on whether your Microsoft Account has an Android phone or Xbox LIVE account linked to information technology. If it does, yous might come across the Your Phone or Xbox app pinned to the taskbar by default.
