Windows 10: Enable or Disable Resizable Start Menu in Windows 10

Created desktop context menu entries using the .bat files to change menus at will. Works well.

 

Hehe, *Wink

Okay, sorry bout that.
I was under the impression it was a two step process to go from the default menu to the resizable menu then an extra step to go to the Start Screen. *Redface

 

No problem mate. *Smile

 

Sorry, it's still a two step process on my system.
Switching between the new Default (Continuum) Menu and the previous (Resizable) Menu is one thing;
then, when you're on the 'Resizable Menu' UI you still need to Toggle to get the Start Screen, (W8.1 style).

 

It is a two step process, but the context menu does it all for you. *Smile

 

Thanks Shawn,

I got so excited about getting the resizable Start Screen back, that I ran it on my Win8.1 install.
I was about to post that I didn't need to restart when I realized I was in Win8.1
*Doh
One key, probably the default for Win8.1 anyway or unrecognized and ignored.

Now I'll fire up the VM and merge the key on the correct machine

 

LOL, oops.

I've since updated that tutorial below that you may like even better now. *Smile

Ohhhh, that's nice.

I wonder what Win8.1 would do?
Nah...... not this time ... I know better now.... again ... still?

Thanks Shawn,

I really don't like the 9926 presentation, so I skipped the toggle and just used Resizable_Start_Menu.bat

There is an artifact I noticed - probably from 9926 expanded Start.

Pressing the Taskbar Window, the Start Screen is presented
Press the Taskbar Window again (on Start Screen), the taskbar disappears and nothing happens.
Well something happens, the taskbar disappears *Tongue
I expected to return to Desktop.

I just press Desktop tile on the Start Screen.

I'm happy with it this way until MS changes it in the next build.

Thanks,

Bill

You're welcome Bill. *Smile

 

Whaw Shawn,

that was fast and nice.

Thanks alot

PS

If you could bring back the Charms Bar.....yeah i know, i am overdoing it....

 

LOL, I wish, but I haven't found a way to bring back Charms yet. *Sad

 

hello again,

included a pic i get when trying to open the Charms Bar. What i do not understand, getting the impression that eventually it can be restored.....

But maybe MS will take care of it, although i cannot understand that this option is removed. Those not wanting the Start Menu or the Charms Bar, do not need to use it.

Most of the functions, if not all, of Charms are in tiles on the Notification tray. If MS adds a screen slide or corner point feature to access them, I'd be happy
