This innovation has been accepted by some as the resurrected version of the Start Menuand a really better version of it considering Microsoft’s aim to introduce the modern environment to all users! The good thing about the Start Menuin Windows 10even in its earliest version is that there are already some buttons in it for accessing Settings, Power Off optionsand even for File Explorer as well as for the All apps list and it does not take the whole screen though there is an option for it if you’d like the menu to take wider space of the screen and display everything in one area. The Start Menu in a Windows 10 computer that has not yet installed the anniversary update looks like the one shown below. With all the issues that users were having with both Windows 8and Windows 8.1, Microsoft had no choice but to reinvent Windows from these two versions and created a better version of the operating system which skipped one digit of the normal counting and jumped to Windows 10 instead of having Windows 9! In this Windowsoperating system version, users finally got the Start Button and the real Start Menu back with some improvements of course. When you hit the Start Button, the same Start Screen appears with a few improvements though but still, everyone really longed for the real Start Menu. The Start Button has already been restored in this Windows OS version but still, the real Start Menu is still missing. In case you already forgot the nightmarish appearance of the Start Screenbecause you switched back to Windows 7right after seeing it then this dreaded feature in Windows 8 looks very much like the one shown below.Īs you can see, the feature that replaced the Start Menu in Windows 8 looks quite attractive but it does not really live up to the real one in terms of usability and functionality which is why thousands if not millions of users really considered Windows 8 and the worst Windowsoperating system edition ever so just a few years after it was released, Microsoft has released a supposed improved version of it called Windows 8.1. A lot of users have been very furious after the former (Windows 8) was released and the Start Menuas well as the Start Button has gone missing only to be replaced by a Start Screenwhich is a badly concocted modern version of the Start Menu minus its quick launch Start Button. ![]() Yes! The Start Menu is one of the most untouched feature whenever a new version of Windows comes out and you will see this with the screenshot below showing the Start Menu in Windows XP, Vistaand Windows 7.Īs you can see, the Start Menu just looked identical in these three Windows operating system versions that have gone one after the other and Microsoft only improved certain aspects of it such as the appearance to enable it to blend well with the overall design of the new operating system but everything changed in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The Start Menu is probably the most important navigation feature that is found in every Windows computer (except of course for Windows 8and Windows 8.1 operating system versions) and since Windows XP, this humble yet very useful tool has evolved very little up to Windows 7. Just recently, our dearly loved Windows OShas received a new update that has really made everything a lot better than before and one of the features that received a total makeover is the Start Menu!

This very important component of the Windowsoperating system which has been removed in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and was taken back by Microsoft in Windows 10 has changed in the Anniversary Update that was released to mark the first year of Windows 10since it was released.īut what are the changes that were done to this awesome feature found in every Windows 10 machine and why should you choose to upgrade your machine to this latest update?
