Start menu so big yet it has nothing on it and I don't know how to make it smaller.

I can't seem to make it smaller and it's kind of an eye sore when it take 1/4th of your screen. Thanks!

It looks to be working 100% based on the size of the icons. Just simple user error here.

Not like you're going to keep the start menu open anyway.

You don't. Getting a monitor with higher resolution will make the menu look smaller, but in terms of pixels there's a minimum size.

i'm going to assume, based on the fact you said 1/4th, and i see no system tray, that the image you shared, is not the full resolution of your monitor. and to answer your question, yes you can resize the start menu in windows 10. follow this: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/windows-10-tip-customize-start-menu-part-2

That doesn't actually make it smaller though, there is a minimum size that the system lets you go to. If you want any smaller than that you need third party tools that are not good for the system
