3D Viewer (previously called Mixed Reality Viewer).The following applications can all be uninstalled via the Start Menu: In addition, Microsoft is allowing more of the default applications. The Start Menu now also supports unpinning of groups of icons from the Start Menu, so if you don’t like the default, or just want to start over, it’s easy to remove everything. In addition, some of the icons have been updated to fit in better with Fluent design, which is Microsoft’s design language for Windows. You can of course still customize this any way you’d like, with groups of apps, and different tile sizes, but the out of box experience is a nicer look to start with. Microsoft is also changing the default start menu for new accounts to a more simplified version, with just a single column of applications rather than the two it was by default previously. The Start Menu has probably never looked cleaner than it does in 1903, where the new color scheme really works well. Microsoft has subtly changed the color scheme to work better in either light or dark modes. The File Explorer icon also got a makeover since it was too light for the light theme. Text on the taskbar switches from white text on black to black text on white, and to avoid being lost on the task bar, some of the white icons such as mail and Store are color reversed to make sure they are still easily found. It also includes a new background, based on the original blue Windows 10 background, but lightened up to match the new theme. The color choices are clean and refreshing, and it really look great. The new light theme is a true light theme, affecting not only the app backgrounds but also the taskbar and start menu. In previous versions the default task bar and start menu color was black, but you could choose between light and dark for applications and most recently, File Explorer, which gained a dark mode in the October 2018 update. But with version 1903, the light theme gets a major overhaul. Windows 10 has offered both a light and dark theme for some time now.
