The latter fits better with the definition of “completely new Windows” – just hovering menus are not enough for a new design to be considered truly new. In truth, insiders and concept designers disagree on this point – some are confident that Microsoft will not change its traditions and will keep right angles, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the fashion for fillets. – Right angles will disappear, they will be replaced by fillets.

Almost all mentions of this new menu indicate that it will be island – the control buttons will be located on one separate panel, notifications will be on another, and specific elements (like a player) on another separate one. The action center will be combined with the control buttons together – a similar one has long been used in some other operating systems. The control panel will also float, and its design will be exactly the same as that of the “Start”. Judging by information from the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “insides” of this menu – the innovations will affect only the design of the window itself. We have to admit that this small change makes the appearance of the system much fresher.

Not surprisingly, in Windows 11, developers will transform it again, but not so much in functional as in visual terms – the Start window will hover above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every recent version of Windows. – Start and system elements will float above the bottom bar. The Sun Valley project flashed on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly disclosed details of the new interface style, insiders shared the unknown previously information, and popular designers in their circles drew realistic concepts based on all this data. The Redmond giant has long been preparing a redesign for an update with the code name Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – apparently, under this naming it was Windows 11. And a completely new design is great for that. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to reverse its past claims and still ditch Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number. – Windows 11 will receive a completely new design. Disable hidden monitoring of the system.Disable collection of data about installed applications.Become the owner and get full access (to files, folders).Use of Framework 4 programs instead of Framework 3.5.Cleaned and compressed WinSxS Backup folder.Microsoft has centered the app icons here, cleaned up the tray area, and included a new Start button and menu. Visually, the biggest changes you’ll notice can be found along the taskbar.

Microsoft had been simplifying Windows for dual-screen devices, before canceling this project in favor of Windows 11. The new Windows 11 user interface and Start menu look very similar to what was originally found in Windows 10X.
