The current Windows 10 Start menu is filled with Live Tiles, which provide constantly refreshed information. But a new look at what could be Microsoft’s fully redesigned Start Menu has none of that, and a very grey.
According to Zac Bowden of Windows Central, these images, shared by Twitter user @NTAuthority, come from Windows 10 build 18947, a Canary build, not yet tested internally by Microsoft.

It’s only released to 32-bit systems, which aren’t widely used, but it’s an embarrassing mistake for Microsoft’s Windows 10 testing efforts. This internal build appears to include a new Start menu design, that’s very early in testing, without Microsoft’s Live Tiles. It’s something Microsoft is testing internally for Windows Lite, but it’s not clear whether Windows 10 will fully drop Live Tiles in the Start menu anytime soon. This new build also includes a GIF search tool within the emoji picker for Windows 10.
Windows Insider lead, Dona Sarkar tweeted that Microsoft is “looking into” this latest issue.
