Microsoft just released a new one version for users enrolled in the Windows Insider program (Dev channel). The biggest change in this build is the availability of the new design in the Start menu.
Windows 10 build 20180 brings no other new features, and Microsoft says the tiles in the new Start menu are now live for everyone.
Prior to this edition, the company διέθετε το ανασχεδιασμένο μενού Έναρξη μόνο σε ορισμένους από τους Insiders, καθώς πραγματοποιούσε δοκιμές για να προσδιορίσει την αξιοπιστία της ενημέρωσης.
"We have activated many of the new features mentioned in the July 1 release for Build 20161, such as live tile tails in the Start menu. The new feature for pinned sites that we mentioned in Build 20175 last week is still only available to a subset of Insiders, ”says Microsoft.
There are also many minor changes that users should be aware of during the installation of this new edition.
First of all, the new folder icon in the Start menu is now a bit smaller, and Microsoft says it tried to align its size with the other icons. This changed after user comments.
Just like all other preview versions, this one comes with a number of known issues that you can see at complete changelog.
These particular updates personally leave me indifferent, as they are aimed at a nicer UI while the system presents problems for several users, usually those using an older hardware.
Either way, it's marketing used by Microsoft and requires full press releases even when a Windows developer is scratched.
The truth is that light (?) Windows 10 makes older machines look like caterpillars. And I do not think these users can find the solution just in a better (visually only) update.
The 5 stars refer only to your last paragraph, George.
I wrote it for you :)
