Microsoft will formally display the Technology Preview version of Windows 9 system at the end of September, and now has a batch of data, screenshots and videos on the Windows 9 system on the web. It is now largely confirmed that the Start menu, which receives many popular users, will be formally returned to the Windows 9 system. Now, Paul Thurrott a few screenshots of Windows 9 build 9841 on his blog, newer than Winfuture's build 9834.
In Build 9841, a screenshot of the Windows 9 Preview Start menu appears, showing the background color of the Start menu can be adjusted to a personalized color, depending on the main color of the system wallpaper, to match the theme color. It seems that Microsoft's Windows 9 system has a fairly high degree of customization. This feature is well understood, the Windows 8/8.1 start screen already supports very rich personalized color and pattern schemes, and since the new Start menu inherits from the Start screen, these personalization features are not accidental.

Some features were also exposed in the previous build 9834 release, and Windows 9 added a notification center to provide all reminders and notifications. From the screenshot, the Windows 9 Notification Center is located at the bottom right of the computer desktop, the rectangular window is designed, the dimensions are fixed, but the user can scroll up and down to view the notification information.
The other is the storage-aware features of Windows 9 and some new features about Wi-Fi awareness. Currently, this "storage-aware" feature is placed by default in the modern version of the computer set, it is likely to directly replace the "Disk space" section in Win8.1, while providing a richer storage solutions, such as support for multiple hard drives, USB storage devices, SD memory cards, OneDrive disk and other storage media. Windows 9 allows users to set personal music, pictures, video to Removable storage media.
In addition to storage perception, the Windows 9 build 9834 Technology Preview also hides a "Wi-Fi sensation" that is very similar to the "Traffic perception" feature in WP8.1.
