Windows 10: Complete Guide to Windows 10 Version 1703

To uninstall Cortana, Edge and Connect, you have to use the 'Tools' found at Winaero but, you'll need to have a 3rd party Start Menu to be able to search! *Wink

 

I don't use Edge, but see no need to go out of my way uninstall it. Same deal with Connect. For me, I don't want to break what isn't already broken. My systems are currently running just fine with no issues or glitches.
I have nothing against those wanting to remove stuff like that, it's just not something I'm in any hurry to do. *Wink

There are some Apps with no uninstall option I wish Microsoft would let you uninstall, but I just live with it, and unpin them when possible.

 

Exactly! I still see the 14951 Start Menu as an utter failure!
Every Start Menu since the dawn of time, Windows or other, has given the option to pin/unpin or customize; why not now!?
If there is an entry in the menu that I don't need or don't want to see, I'm darn well gonna find a way to get rid of it!

 

Stuff like Messaging, Groove, People, etc, IMHO should have an uninstall options. Or at the very least, let you hide them so they don't clutter up the All Apps menu. I use search instead of trolling through the start Menu to find stuff so it doesn't bother all that much. Still, it does kind of irk me that Microsoft decided I can't live without them. Even though I will never ever use them. *Devil

 

This is what I would like to have before me with one click of the Start button, PERIOD!; is that so impossible to implement that option!?
Yeah, alphabet letters and Tiles, if you want, but at least throw some options in there!
Customizing shortcuts and the aforementioned hacks is what I must do to accomplish a simple Menu! *Confused

 

I really like that Clover. I might give it a try.

 

- I rather like them, especially Groove Music..
- and they all seem to work really well in Windows10
- and the way they mesh with Microsoft Office is rather neat..

- ok, I'll get me coat..*Redface

 

I just don't get why the uninstall option is greyed out, is all? If you like them and use them that great, I have no problem with that, that's what free choice is all about. If you don't use them though, an uninstall option would be nice, IMHO that is.
From the sounds of it though, they are listing. My other big beef was having all of the default Apps reinstalled on an upgrade. It looks like that won't happen anymore. So things are getting somewhat better.

Now if Microsoft would just stop changing my login from PIN to Password every time I upgrade *Mad I'd really be happy.

 

I agree almost totally alpha *Smile However the PIN to PASSWORD issue can only be considered a minor annoyance really, just a few keystrokes.

 

Your ideal Start menu looks perfect to me except I must be going blind in my old age - where is Groove Music in the screenshot of your start menu?

 

No UWP Apps on my Desktop PC at all!
On my tablet, it's all UWP Apps! Groove Music is the only app that will continue playing music when the tablet screen is off! *Wink

 

@Graphicalman: Welcome to the forums, BTW! *Smile

 

All I wish for Start menu is to open on mouseower, the rest I can customize good enough.

 

Cool idea Mike, but it could get irritating for Win+X menu users, that Start also pops up,
unless... they make a switch to turn it off for those who do not want it.

 

If they make it just a "Hot corner" it wouldn't have to be a part of Taskbar and wouldn't open with it. Xp used to have it like that.
