Microsoft Win11 update, upgrades start menu

Microsoft hopes to make the operating system more “modular” through Windows 11, such as separating the taskbar, desktop and other functions from explorer.exe, so as to make Windows 11 more stable . Now, Microsoft has begun testing a new Start menu design.

Microsoft generally does not put new features in annual major version updates, so the company will test and push them specifically for this feature update, that is, Windows 11 comes with an “experience package”, including adding new features for widgets and other applications. Functional experience pack.

Judging from the latest ” Windows.Shell.StartMenu ” 3.2.127.0 online service experience package of the Canary channel, Microsoft only improved “- Windows.Shell.StartMenu “. Microsoft notes that the update doesn’t add anything new to the Start Menu, but “improves the user experience from the cloud.”

These Live Services experience packs will focus on improving the functionality of the Start menu and other areas of Windows. In addition to the start menu, it is also used to enhance Microsoft accounts, Windows settings and other functions.

It is reported that Microsoft plans to make the start menu more “customizable”, for example, you can completely turn off the “recommended” feed and use only the “start” menu icon. In addition, the tech giant is testing new animation/hover effects, and I believe it will come to Dev, Canary, Beta and the final stable channel soon.
