Windows 10 Build 10074: Start menu blur, Settings app and new features

Among the many Windows 10 feature requests that Microsoft receives on a daily basis, Blur + Transparency was one of them. Now, the software maker seems to be responding to this request and bringing blurred transparency (similar to the Aero Glass effect found in Windows 7 today) to Windows 10.

Windows 10 Build 10102 shows Microsoft finally adding a new blur effect to the Start menu and taskbar to complement the transparency effect. However, the new Aero Glass-like effect doesn't extend to the apps themselves – they still show the gray title bar we've seen so far.

Microsoft's BUILD conference is coming up soon, and the company will likely officially unveil this feature for the first time there, along with deeper integration of Cortana into the Start menu and a number of other features and changes coming to Windows 10.
