Windows 10 finally gives us back the Start
Menu, and it’s much more customizable than it ever has been before. Here is a
quick rundown of all the different ways that you can customize it.
You can quickly resize the Start Menu by
simply moving your mouse to the top edge of the Start Menu and resizing down.
It’ll make the Start Menu wider if you have
live tiles pinned.
You can easily pin and unpin tiles by
right-clicking on each one and selecting Unpin from Start (you can also drag
them around to rearrange them).
And you
can use the All Apps view to find it, and then right-click and choose Pin to
Start from there. You can also pin regular apps to the right-hand side if you
want.
You can change the size of the tiles by right-clicking on them and choosing Resize and then picking a size
The “Large” size is a little on the ridiculous
size, but at least you have amany choices to do.
If all those blinking tiles end up annoying
you, just right-click on them and choose “Turn live tile off.
Also you can see that the News tile is back to
being a regular tile button.
You can easily change the color of your Start Menu and Taskbar by right-clicking any empty space and choosing Personalize.
You can pin applications to the left side of the Start Menu as well, but that’s not quite as intuitive… you need to drag & drop the shortcut for the application to the Start Button and you will see the tooltip change to “Pin to Start menu,” which is your icon to drop it there.
Once you’ve done so, it should immediately pin that application to the left side of the Start Menu. You can also drag and drop the items up or down if you want.
To remove anything that you put on the left
side, just right-click and choose “Remove from this list.”
You can also add some special built-in shortcuts to the left side of the Start Menu, but you will need to find a settings screen. Right-click on any of the white space and choose Properties.
Switch to the Start Menu tab, and then click
the Customize button.
Inside of this dialog you can select what
special items you would like to pin to the Start Menu.
The Control Panel is really interesting because you can also use the Jump Lists to pin frequent sections into a folder that expands out. For Internet Explorer, you could have a set of pinned websites inside of the folder.
One of the best ways to customize the new
Start Menu is to just remove all of the silly live tiles and make it look more like Windows 7.
All you need to do is unpin all the items on the right side, put the items on
the left side that you want, and then resize it down until it looks awesome.
