2012年8月，微軟的零售合作夥伴德國麥德龍（Metro AG）對軟件巨擘微軟的「Metro」商標侵權行為採取法律行動。一封要求停止使用「Metro」字眼直至代替字眼或案件結案的備忘錄亦被發送到軟件開發者和微軟員工。<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/2/3216545/microsoft-metro-branding-memo-european-partner |title=Exclusive: Microsoft's Metro branding to be replaced 'this week' according to internal memo |last=Warren |first=Tom |date=2 August 2013 |work=[[The Verge]] |publisher=[[Vox Media]] |accessdate=29 May 2013 |archive-date=2012-08-03 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/69dkyJL9y?url=http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/2/3216545/microsoft-metro-branding-memo-european-partner |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19108952 |title=Microsoft to drop 'Metro' name for Windows |date=3 August 2012 |work=[[BBC]] |accessdate=28 May 2012 |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6bU9AR?url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19108952 |dead-url=no }}</ref>

同月4日，電腦雜誌[[PC World]]報導，微軟將暫時稱其設計語言為「Windows 8 Style UI」，以填補「Metro」暫停使用期間的空白。<ref>{{Cite web |title=Windows 8 'Metro' Is Dead, But UI Still Needs a Name |url=http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/260367/windows_8_metro_is_dead_but_ui_still_needs_a_name.html |accessdate=10 August 2012 |date=4 August 2012 |last=Bradley |first=Tony |work=[[PC World]] |publisher=[[IDG]] |archive-date=2012-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823062731/http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/260367/windows_8_metro_is_dead_but_ui_still_needs_a_name.html |dead-url=no }}</ref>美國雜誌[[Wired]]的Alexandra Chang則建議微軟應直接使用「Windows 8」一詞，而非另選其他字眼。<ref>{{Cite web |title=Microsoft Doesn’t Need a Name for Its User Interface |url=http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/microsoft-doesnt-need-a-name-for-its-ui-metro-or-not/ |accessdate=28 May 2013 |date=8 August 2012 |last=Chang |first=Alexandra |work=[[Wired]] |publisher=[[Condé Nast Publications|Condé Nast]] |archive-date=2013-09-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921123631/http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/microsoft-doesnt-need-a-name-for-its-ui-metro-or-not/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>

同月9日，微軟計劃在消費者市場使用「Windows 8」，而對計劃使用微軟新設計語言來開發軟件的開發人員則使用「Modern UI」。<ref name="elreg">{{Cite news |url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/10/metro_is_modern_ui_now/ |title=Microsoft: It was never 'Metro,' it was always 'Modern UI' |last=McAllister |first=Neil |date=10 August 2012 |work=[[The Register]] |accessdate=28 May 2013 |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6ebXoh?url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/10/metro_is_modern_ui_now/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>

自2012年9月，「微軟設計語言（Microsoft design language）」開始被用到[[微软开发者网络]]的文件內<ref>{{Cite web |title=Make great Windows Store apps |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh464920.aspx |accessdate=28 May 2013 |work=[[MSDN]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6fkV4d?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh464920.aspx |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Design case study: iPad to Windows Store app |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868262.aspx |accessdate=28 May 2013 |work=[[MSDN]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6gPiEq?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868262.aspx |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Guidelines for typography |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj553415.aspx |accessdate=28 May 2013 |work=[[MSDN]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6hpXAX?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj553415.aspx |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Roadmap for Windows Store apps using DirectX and C++ |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/jj126138.aspx |accessdate=28 May 2013 |work=[[MSDN]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6inlNU?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/jj126138.aspx |dead-url=no }}</ref>以及[[Build年度會議]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Microsoft design language |url=http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2012/2-116 |accessdate=28 May 2013 |work=[[Channel9]] |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6jRiXr?url=http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2012/2-116 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Microsoft Design Language: The newest official way to refer to 'Metro' |url=http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-design-language-the-newest-official-way-to-refer-to-metro-7000006526/ |accessdate=28 May 2013 |last=Foley |first=Mary Jo |work=[[ZDNet]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |archive-date=2013-05-26 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Gu6l9iWe?url=http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-design-language-the-newest-official-way-to-refer-to-metro-7000006526/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>。

現時，微軟已經放棄了使用Metro風格（Metro-style）應用程序來形容根據微軟件設計語言來開發的[[Windows Runtime]]應用程序。同時，在正式使用Windows 8 apps這一名詞之前暫時使用Windows Store apps代替。<ref name="zdnet-metroname">{{Cite web |title=Microsoft finally comes clean(er) on post-Metro naming plans |url=http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-finally-comes-cleaner-on-post-metro-naming-plans-7000004151/ |accessdate=28 May 2013 |date=12 September 2012 |work=[[ZDNet]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |archive-date=2012-09-13 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6Adwgk5Ku?url=http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-finally-comes-cleaner-on-post-metro-naming-plans-7000004151/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>2019年，随着微软宣布[[流畅设计体系]]，Metro UI被正式抛弃。
