The Start menu of Microsoft's Windows operating system is perhaps one of the most iconic features. While slowly evolving over the years, it has remained a staple of the one-stop-shop user interface and is etched in the muscle memory of PC users.

However, Microsoft is now looking to revamp this design and has taken to Twitter to show off what the new Start menu in the ever-evolving Windows 10 will look like. Don't worry, avid Windows fans. What we are seeing is evolution, not revolution. [Just click or tap the Windows icon on the left side of the desktop to open the Start menu. So far, so familiar.

And the various icons, such as the power button and settings button, are in the same place they have always been. However, a quick look at the rest of the menu reveals where Microsoft has made changes. [For example, the Microsoft Teams and Notepad tiles are only redesigned icons, with no text.

In contrast, some on Twitter lamented that the removal of text labels would make it more difficult to identify apps, especially for those who are not regular Windows users.

Otherwise, however, the reaction was positive, with many enjoying Microsoft's choice of a more modern-looking Start menu design.

Since its debut in Windows 8, the Tiles menu initially replaced the Start menu, but was later integrated after a backlash from Windows fans. It injected something new into the old Start menu, but added more clutter to what had been a simple and effective way to access apps and other Windows 10 features.

Today, the Live Tiles section of the Windows 10 Start menu is just what most people are used to and accept. But that hasn't stopped Microsoft from looking at ways to move it forward and make it more intuitive.

And that is the strategy for Windows 10 in general. Microsoft sees Windows 10 as an operating system that will continue to be re-built to meet the needs of the modern PC and hybrid 2-in-1.

Also, more changes to Windows 10 are expected this year as Microsoft is working on Windows 10X, a reworked version of the OS designed for dual-screen devices like its Surface Neo and Surface Duo Windows 10 is expected to undergo more changes this year.
