Recently, phantomofearth (phantomofearth.bsky.social) discovered that a Windows 11 preview build reveals Microsoft's work on a redesigned Start Menu, expected to be a major improvement.

This updated Start Menu aims to be more visually attractive, featuring a larger layout that offers more room for apps, folders, and files. The notable increase in folder size simplifies navigation and organization, benefiting users who need quick and efficient access to their digital assets.

These visual enhancements not only increase the Start Menu’s allure but also enhance its practicality, delivering a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.

Although it's clear that Microsoft is progressing in updating this key element of Windows 11, as of today (April 28, 2025), there has been no official word or announcement from Microsoft about the release timeline for this updated Windows version. Consequently, users and enthusiasts will need to wait patiently for more details or an official launch date.

Once Microsoft officially rolls out this version of Windows, I intend to conduct an in-depth review covering all the new features and improvements.
