Windows gets periodic visual updates , with constantly changing recycling bins, Start menu colors, task bar icons and other prominent items PC users look at every day. The visual refresh, first spotted by Windows Latest , gives all Microsoft's system icons the same general look and feel as the rest of its updated imagery. Six years is long in the tooth for any PC operating system, and a revolution is coming to personal computers that threatens Windows' standing as the dominant productivity operating system. Microsoft's twice-a-year Windows updates usually add a few welcome new features (a new screenshot tool, a cleaner Start Menu, etc.). And Microsoft is expected to give all Windows 10 elements a makeover to align all of the recently tweaked elements of the operating system in a consistent design — including the new icons Microsoft previewed this week.
