Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20161 Releases

by ·

Microsoft today pushed Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20161 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. This new version brings a lot of new features compared to the previous test version, the most notable of which is that the new version of the start menu that Microsoft has previously revealed has finally arrived.

The biggest feature of the new version of the start menu is to remove the shortcut background color block, so the current start menu will be able to call the theme configuration with more new styles.

At the same time, this version has improved the combination of Microsoft Edge and multi-tasking, and now Alt + Tab shortcut keys can also directly switch tabs instead of applications.

In addition, the new version also changes the style of the taskbar. Overall, this new version should be regarded as the version with the newest features in Microsoft in recent months.
