<p>Since the release of the first Windows 10 version, there have been no significant changes when it comes to look and feel of it. Today, 5 years later, Microsoft has decided to start working on a new look for its popular operating system.</p>

<p>The new design has to start somewhere and the company decided to begin with a new and sleeker look of the Start menu. Expected to arrive in the next year, a new Start menu will retain Live Tiles, although slightly different from the original concept.</p>

<p>The new start menu will also feature Microsoft&#8217;s redesigned app icons in translucent blocks and still holding the Recent apps list on the left side of the Start Menu. In the image above Microsoft has demonstrated a new Start menu with Live Tiles switched off.</p>
<p>Unlike the current situation where switching Live Tiles off will show apps with solid blocks of color, a new Start menu icons will have the background that matches your theme (light or dark modes).</p>

<p>There&#8217;s no information on when to expect the new Start menu, but we hope to see the new UI makeover in preview builds sometime later this year.</p>
