Over the last couple of months Microsoft have made a lot of changes to Windows Mixed Reality and the latest update gives us a glimpse into how the HoloLens 2 start menu will look.

The last few 19H1 Windows 10 builds for Windows Insiders have included a new look start menu in Windows Mixed Reality that features an update card UI and a new way of highlighting selections.
