It might be my misunderstanding, but I feel like the search box (in the Start menu) has changed recently. For example, when I press the Windows key and search for random apps like Chrome or Edge, the UI seems to have become flatter overall. It used to look cleaner before, but now it feels different. Is it just me, or has something actually changed?

Thank you for sending the screenshot, you're very kind.
If you don't mind, could you show me the UI when searching for 'Disk Cleanup' or 'Edge' on your PC? I'd like to compare it with mine.
