The first and third are the same, but the first is in touch mode. This is actually an intelligent choice by ms, making buttons bigger when the screen is tapped as opposed to clicked.

Microsoft is still failing to recover from the whole Modern UI SNAFU of Windows 8. Too much functionality remains from Windows 7 and the UI is just carried forward. It's a total shambles.

@CrankyOldDev it's not, the menu are obviously different in size and space, they changes according if you are using the touchscreen or the mouse,

aaxa24337yOkay, so one of them is optimised for touch. That doesn't mean the rest is A-OK. Because it's not! It's dumb to make a menu in that many ways in the same OS

@dontbeevil I'm not sure about that. I get it they were designed to work with both mouse and touch, but I don't think they change. I still think it's a shambles from a UX perspective.

@CrankyOldDev there is something strange in this picture, anyway:
left: it's the right click on the taskbar, if the theme is dark, is black and not white as in the picture
centre/top: is right click on a pinned icon on the taskbar, black for dark theme, white for light theme
right/top: is the right click on the start menu, also this change colour according to the theme
centre/bottom: is the right click on the desktop, this doesn't change colour according to the theme
all of the above, change size and space according if you right click on the mouse or touch and hold on the touch screen, for me they looks quite modern and it's fine if they change a bit in design to understand which menu is which
the last one right/bottom is an old menu when you click on the corner of a window in file explorer, yes I agree this one wasn't updated and maybe it should...but I think really few people use it
