Security News > 2021 > January > Windows 10X: A closer look at Microsoft's new operating system
Unlike Windows 10 or Windows 8, Windows 10X doesn't come with traditional live tiles.
In the leaked build, Windows 10X is using ChromeOS like static icons for Microsoft Store apps and Microsoft Edge-powered Progressive Web Apps.
Action Center is also getting a new look in Windows 10X. As you can see in the below screenshot, Windows 10X comes with a floating Action Center, which also includes the taskbar's system tray.
Unlike Windows 10, Action Center in Windows 10X puts more emphasis on quick actions, which means the notifications area won't be visible all of the time and Action Center won't cover your full screen.
In Windows 10X, Microsoft has completely removed the Control Panel and the same Windows 10 Settings app is offered.
Like the Windows Search in Windows 10, Windows 10X will also allow you to search for files in local storage and cloud.
