The Start Menu Taskbar is a new, rounded rectangle: Microsoft Windows 10 21H2 update

Mar 01,2021

As it does not plan to launch Windows 11, Microsoft's approach is to continue to iterate on Win10 to give users a sense of freshness and functionality and UI/UX changes.


Windows 10 21H2, codenamed Sun Valley, will redraw the Start menu, taskbar, etc., including introducing a large number of rounded corners.


In the internal preview, Windows 10's Start menu has been changed from a standard rectangle to a rounded corner. Now it looks like this will be extended to the taskbar.


As shown in the figure, you can feel the new effect of the taskbar icon right-click menu.

In addition to the rounded corner design, Sun Valley has some possible changes in the new battery level monitor, separate webcam Settings, and more.


According to the report, the Windows 10 redesign is expected to be locked down in June and rolled out to users in October or November. Before version 21H2, Microsoft plans to release the version 21H1 update, a minor upgrade incorporating security improvements.
