Microsoft doesn't use shadows at all
2 comments

As my sibling has highlighted, there is a shadow on Windows 10 when one window hovers over another. Weirdly, the popup menu on the desktop DOES have a shadow but the right-click menu on the start menu does not...

One disappointing part of Windows 10 is this lack of consistency. Icons are the worst - 25 years of icons all bundled together. Looks at the icons inside C:\Windows\explorer.exe or shell32.dll for a mishmash of graphical styles from yesteryear. This makes programs like MMC feel out-of-place on the modern system.
