Windows will have a new interface by 2021 with the name “Sun Valley” code

Microsoft is preparing a big update for Windows 10 by 2021 with the name “Sun Valley”. According to many sources this update will bring a breakthrough design for Windows user interface. Microsoft is planning to update many human interfaces such as Start menu, Action Center and even File Explorer, with a modern, consistent design, better cartoon and new features.

This user interface project is called “Sun Valley” and is expected to be released as part of the Windows 10 release “Cobalt”, expected to launch in the 2021 holiday season. Internal document describes this project as “revival” (so bad that it is necessary to revive the character parameters) and modernize the Windows experience to meet the expectations of users in the world that are promoted by other modern platforms.

Windows 10 Almost unchanged in the past few years, it must be said that there is very little design. Many other platforms on the market have undergone the whole process of redesigning or refreshing the user interface. While Windows 10 has undergone small design updates with the introduction of Fluent Design, but I don't see any significant change in the user interface (especially the start menu with garbage in users).

The Sun Valley project seems to be managed by the Windows Equipment and Equipment Group, led by the Panos Panay Product Manager, who was in charge of this department in February this year. Microsoft announced in May that the company would “re -invest” in Windows 10 in 2021 and sources say that Sun Valley is the result of that reinvestment.

Windows with the name “Sun Valley” is new?

It is still too early to determine exactly what will be updated in Sun Valley, but other sources said they expected to experience. Start menu and Action Center new. Microsoft is also working on the Taskbar updated modernity and the user interface is improved File Explorer.

For tablet users, the applications will be significantly improved. We know that Microsoft is redesigning the touch keyboard and emotional icon selection, because those changes are already in Windows internal development channel (Windows Insider Dev Channel). Microsoft will also continue to design rounded corners in the user interface, including application windows and other areas.

The sources also said that the expectation of the application Winui More spacious in Windows Shell and the applications in the box, this will provide sophisticated but improved design changes. In addition, many inherited user interface areas are expected to be supported with the dark mode to make efforts to make the Windows user interface look more consistent when using the dark theme of Windows 10.

When is Windows 2021 released?

It is important to emphasize that Microsoft can cut or delay these plans at any time from now until the factory update next year. It is likely that some of these plans will not go to the final product, because it is only expected of the development of the Windows operating system and the reason why Microsoft doesn't publicize this plan on the homepage. However, these are things Microsoft wants to provide customers with Windows 10 next year.

Microsoft hopes to complete most of this job in June 2021. After that, Microsoft will rtm a construction, delivery to OEMs and start testing in Beta channel as a specified release.

If Microsoft can implement its plans with Sun Valley, this will be the largest change of Windows 10 user interface that from the past 3 years. Panos Panay wants people to switch from Windows to Windows favorite and the interface is refreshed modern, intuitive and towards design is a great start.

With Sun Valley, Windows 10 will still be familiar to PC users, unlike the conversion process from Windows 7 to Windows 8. For some features, users will be able to switch between new and old experience, giving users a choice instead of forcing them. Sun Valley is all about the familiar improvement and modernization of Windows UX, not completely changing it.
