Sun Valley is the name for the upcoming redesign of the Windows 10 UI. We do not know much at this time, as Microsoft is trying to keep secret the new features of the next major release.
From time to time we've seen new icons , we've heard about rounded Windows corners and a slightly more refined look to the built-in apps.
We also expect that some parts of Windows 10X (which will not be released as a standalone operating system) will be included in the upcoming release.
A new leak, however, reveals what the Settings app will look like in Windows 10 “Sun Valley” or as others call it “ Windows 11 ”.
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that the “next Windows” is coming, as Satya Nadella mentioned at Build 2021. The presentation of the new operating system will take place on June 24, and the company probably won’t be able to stop the internal leaks, although it seems to be trying . So we already learned that the next version of Windows will be called Windows 11.
An image leaked from build 22395 shows us the new design of the Settings application with new colorful icons and a renewed look in the categories.
According to the Russian website that leaked the images (which is a reliable source of information), the screenshot is genuine and real. They were able to confirm this with people inside Microsoft.
As for the "Settings" application, the main categories seem to have moved to the left and will have colorful icons.
It's worth noting that the screenshot is from build 22395 and the rs_onecore_wsd branch, which doesn't exist at the moment, as Microsoft decided to hide the changes brought by the Sun Valley update.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
