The latest Start menu has few of Win7-era customizations -- but many new tricks worth knowing

Microsoft’s recently released RTM version of Windows 10 marks the official return of the Start menu, which has many Windows aficionados rejoicing. The run-up has been an open book, with numerous iterations of the evolving Start menu hitting the streets since the Windows 10 Technical Preview was released nearly a year ago. It’s high time to update my original Win10 Start menu tips, now that the bits are (nearly) baked.

I’m not going to bore you with the easy stuff -- pinning, resizing, renaming, moving groups, and the like. Instead, this guided tour takes you behind the scenes, to point out settings you may have missed and offer a few tricks that may save your bacon one day.

Suffice it to say that the Windows 10 version of Start isn’t anywhere near as complex or malleable as the Win7 version -- no custom folder hierarchies, for example, no drag-and-drop pinning to the left side. But it has inherent smarts you may find useful.

Start menu secrets every Windows 10 pro should know
