Will the Fluent icons in Windows 10 21H2 no longer appear in the stable release?

Windows 11 marks the beginning of a whole new user interface. The rounded corners and new icons make it look so good. The publicly available Windows 11 Insider build says 21H2 in winver.

I've heard that Microsoft officially said in a post that 21H2 will be coming later this year.
I was so hyped for the new icons, but with the release of Windows 11, doubts arise that will the new iconography be making its way to Windows 10.

I don't want to tweak my system, just because I don't like such stuff and also don't want to take the risk of breaking something. Speaking of the icons, when I was with Windows 7 for 8 whole years, I never tweaked it to look like Vista (P.S. those days I liked Vista's icons more than any other OS).

If anyone has any info on this, it would be nice leaving an answer. Thanks!

Hi
@HidetoshiDekisugi-9332

The new iconography will not be available to apply to Windows 10 21H2
win10 2004, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2. they are just win10 versions by feature update released twice a year in SAC( semi-annual channel)
If 21H2 don't add any theme packs related to win11's rounded corner, frosted glass to its personalize→theme, then it is definitely not supported.

Here is the link for your reference to better catch the feature update.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-10-version-21h1


The latest win11 dev channel's version is .22000.65 released on 9/7/2021
The rounded corners, new icons and other features that to come are exclusive highlights on windows 11.
And we do not recommend users to download Theme pack from third party website. Maybe even if designed Theme pack can live up to your requirement, they can result in Operating System unstable and incompatible.

I suggest you might give a think that choose beta channel and then upgrade to win11 in either July or August for a while of experience. It's an in-place upgrade that reserves all your files and data, providing that your PC meet the requirement, if you don't like win11, you can rollback to your origin OS within about 10 days.
