Try Microsoft’s New Larger, Customizable Start Menu in Windows 11

Microsoft has introduced a significantly redesigned Start menu for Windows 11, now available for testing in the Dev Channel. This new Start menu features a larger, scrollable interface with two distinct views — category and grid — making app access faster and more intuitive. The ability to disable the recommended section allows users to customize their experience further, optimizing how apps are displayed.

This update adapts dynamically based on screen size, offering 8 columns of pinned apps on larger devices and 6 on smaller ones, improving usability across devices. Additionally, the introduction of gamepad PIN sign-in enhances Windows 11’s functionality on handheld gaming devices, showing Microsoft’s focus on diverse user needs. This could reshape how users interact with Windows, making everyday tasks more efficient and personalized.
