How to enable Start menu from new Windows 10 in version 2004

Registration of the Start menu in Windows 10 of the next version (autumn 2020) allegedly slightly change: the background color of the tiles will become translucent and will match the color of the launch menu itself (about how to change it, you can read in the instructions How to change the Windows 10 menu ), and the icons in the list of programs will disappear framing their colored squares. At the same time, it is possible to use such design already in the current version of the system.

In this short instruction detailed how to enable new launch menu design from Windows 10 20H2 in today's Windows 10 version 2004 using the registry editor.

Unlock the design of the Start menu from Windows 10 20H2 in Windows 10 2004

Before proceeding, make sure that your system build 19041.423 or newer. You can do it like this: Press the keys Win + R. Enter WinVer. And press ENTER, as a result you will see the window as in the image below.

If you have Windows 10 2004 installed, and the assembly matches the necessary (if not, install the system updates), further steps will be as follows:

1. Go to the registry editor using keys Win + R. and input regedit.
2. Create a Registry SectionhKey_Local_machine \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ FeatureManagement \ Overrides \ 0 \ 2093230218
3. In this section, create two DWORD32 parameters (even for 64-bit Windows 10) with names Enabledstate. and EnabledStateOptions.
4. The value of the first of the parameters change to 2

   

5. Close the registry editor and restart the computer, the launch menu design will change.

You can also simply create a REG file with the following code and import it into the registry, after which you restart the computer:

Windows Registry Editor version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONTROLSET \ CONTROL \ FEATUREMANAGEMENT \ OVERRIDES \ 0 \ 2093230218] "Enabledstate" = DWORD: 00000002 "EnableDstateOptions" = DWORD: 00000000

I do not know whether such minor changes are worth the design of the described actions, but suddenly for someone from readers information will be useful.
