    Has the start menu changed in a recent update?


    Hiya guys,
    I've just done a fresh install of Windows 10 on a new build.
    I noticed there are a couple of bits I can't seem to get back to how they were before, last time it was the free upgrade from win7, this time it was a clean install via windows 10 media creation tool.

    I've attached a screenshot of how my start menu looks now, before reinstalling I had the power, settings and file explorer at the bottom of the start menu as a list, along with 'all apps', which would open the A-Z list of apps.
    As you can see now, the power etc are now icons on the left, with all the apps as a permanent presence next to them.

    It's not a huge issue, but something that's frustrating me that I can't figure out how to change it back, I don't launch apps from the A-Z so i'd rather not have it there.

    Has this changed in a recent update or something? My PC was without internet for a few months until today so maybe I missed a change.

    I have checked and I have the latest build of windows.


    Thanks, Mark.

    :)

    Windows 10 start menu has changed

    The start menu that I has customized (personalized) on my desktop pc has changed by itself...possibly has reverted to the menu that was installed when I upgraded to Windows 10...Is there anyway to the one I designed back?

    Windows 10 start menu has changed

    I deleted the startup 8 menu and my windows 10 start up menu returned. I took a chance and it worked. Hope everyone has the same good luck.

    I still don't have a Windows Edge icon in the task bar. Would appreciate any help with this matter.

    You "missed" it? It's all anyone has been talking about for weeks.... Lol. Must have been quite an outage.
