A test version of Windows 10 showed changes to the Start menu – review

Microsoft introduced a new test build of its operating system – Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20161. Its features were small design changes, as well as new features.

The first change was the update of the Start menu, in which tiles instead of a colored background now received a plain color. This is done as part of bringing the system to the requirements of Fluent Design.

Another innovation was the ability to switch tabs in Edge using Alt + Tab. This is useful to people who work with many tasks at the same time. True, this feature is only supported in version 83.0.475.0 or higher.

In addition, a personalized taskbar has appeared that will adapt to the user. For example, for gamers, the system will offer to place the Xbox icon on it. True, this will only be relevant for new Microsoft accounts.
