By mistake Microsoft released an update that twists the Start menu interface: here's how it will look in the future
Small oversight for Microsoft that mistakenly releases to insiders program subscribers an internal test version of its Windows 10 operating system. In this version, build 18947, appears a new Start menu that maybe we'll see in the future in stable versions of Microsoft's OS.
Or maybe only in some, since the new Start menu will make its appearance only on Windows Lite OS, "light" version of the Windows operating system intended for devices not yet on the market (such as advanced tablets and foldable devices), which will probably arrive next year. This test release, moreover, has been released only to the few Windows users who still have the 32-bit operating system. Microsoft, appena resasi conto dell’errore nella distribuzione al pubblico di questa release che doveva restare interna, ha ritirato l’aggiornamento da Windows Update.

Il nuovo menu start di Windows 10
La novità più appariscente di questo update sbagliato è nel menu Start, che cambia totalmente abbandonando le “Live Tiles” e presentandosi con solo icone al suo interno e una barra di ricerca in alto, proprio sotto la foto dell’account dell’utente. Sembra più un home menu da OS mobile che lo storico menu Start di Windows: l’aspetto è pulitissimo e le icone delle applicazioni sono disposte consecutivamente e senza alcun raggruppamento, né per cartella né per tipologia. You can scroll through the list of apps, and clicking on the "hamburger" icon at the top left opens a second menu from which you can return to the previous Start menu layout.
Goodbye Live Tiles?
This Start menu lacks Live Tiles, as mentioned above. That is that strange cross between an icon and a widget that in theory should have revolutionized the use of the Start menu but, in reality, has never been developed properly. Seen for the first time back in 2010, within the start screen of Windows Phone 7, in 2012 they arrive on the desktop on Windows 8. Apart from a small graphical improvement, which came with Windows Phone 8, have been reported as such on Win 10. Now comes the leak of the Start menu without Live Tiles and, according to some, it's a sign that Microsoft is now going to abandon this feature.
