Start Menu

I'm setting up a personal computer with Windows 10 , and I want to organize the start menu the same way it is organized on my Windows 10 work computer. How do I do that? I found instructions for changing the size of the tiles, moving them around, etc. It's all pretty obvious stuff, except that...

As shown below I am experiencing a weird issue where my Windows key and start button in the bottom left does not open the start menu. I can rule out any keyboard malfunctions as it recognizes Windows key shortcuts (Windows + L, Windows + D, etc.) The only way to open it is by clicking the search...

Hey all. I'm having a very frustrating time with my start menu. I am on a fresh installation of Windows 10 on new hardware. Basically no matter what I do the start menu refuses to show the accent color correctly. I can be in the settings menu, I can cycle through the Light and Dark and Custom...

When I go into the start menu (full screen), the screen is like a greyish colour and I can barely see my desktop background. Before I updated it was completely fine but after this update something has changed, I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's suppose to be like that.

My pc Start menu, Search bar, Microsoft store, Windows Security, Photos app, and Cortana has stopped responding and working. Out of nowhere it doesn't let me search, start logo does nothing but a blue circle for a split second, Cortana loads up for a split second then closes, The Microsoft store...

I'm having trouble understanding how Windows 10's Start Menu works. In Win 7, "Start Menu" meant programs you wanted to start up when you booted up your pc, right? This Win 10 Start Menu system has me seriously confused, and the Microsoft (un)help pages aren't. It appears that in Win 10 "Start...
