📎 AI Summary:
The user is concerned because their Windows 10 installation appears to have the Windows 8.1 start menu and taskbar style, despite confirming through various checks that they are running Windows 10, specifically version 1803. Despite attempts to revert the start menu settings, their taskbar remains different from the typical Windows 10 appearance, resembling Windows 8.1. The discussion revolves around identifying the OS version and visual differences, with the responder affirming they're on Windows 10 1803 but noting the unusual taskbar appearance.

Good evening! Just now I have noticed something: my Windows 10 (I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 in the last of day of the free dowload) doesn't have the W10 layout, but the 8.1. Some screenshots:
This is the current layout of my SO (notice that it's not 10, but 8):

And this is how the W10 SO look:

I remember clearly that when I upgraded to 10 my SO was exactly like the second pic, but it changed all of a sudden. Do you guys have any idea why that happened and how can I reverse that?

Well the only real difference is the other guy has the search bar turned off, so right click on the taskbar > Search and select "Show Search Icon"

Actually that picture you showed is an earlier version of Windows 10 so no some if the items won't be available in 1803. Otherwise everything else can be customized
