>hey are making some improvements like the GUI and cleaning up other elements that give a more cohesive look. No more mixing Metro UI and Legacy panels like Windows 10

I don't even think this is wholly true. The new / old context menu that for some reason now exists in parallel so you have to do two clicks on every right-click actions still mixes legacy and modern UI, and there's so many redundant mouse control and audio control settings also with entirely different look and feel. It's like you're on three Windows operating systems at the same time.

Baffling to me how a company the size of Microsoft cannot streamline their user interfaces.




The new two stages desktop context menu is indeed insane. Probably "we need to give it a new look, but we can't risk breaking anything, so let's keep the old one too".
