The start menu is back (sort of) and the Start Screen is buried deep in the Settings application and only surfaces when Tablet Mode is on or in the case of convertibles, it kicks in when the keyboard is detached.Īs you may have noticed, the start menu in Windows 10 is not exactly what we had in Windows 7. In Windows 10, Microsoft sought to make everyone feel at home.
Not because it was bad but because it just didn’t make sense on machines that did not have touch displays. Many long-time users of Microsoft’s Windows operating system found themselves staring at an unfamiliar Start Screen, the feature that had been hurriedly fronted as a replacement of the start menu of old. The absence of the start menu as we know it in Windows 8 was one of the operating system’s main undoing.
