  1. How to Change Start Menu


    I'm running Windows 10 Home Version 1703 OS Build 15063.674, and I've noticed a few annoying things about it. I would like to change the start menu so that whenever I start typing, no searches from the internet show up. Most guides that show how to do this are outdated, as they refer to an option ("Search online and include web results") that no longer exists. I'm not sure how to prevent internet searches from showing up anymore.
    Another thing that I would like the start menu to do is to automatically open up to the "All apps" list instead of the "Pinned tiles" list. In the past, both would show up at the same time, but apparently Windows is forcing them to be mutually exclusive now.
    For illustration, this is what I would prefer it to open to automatically:
    Screenshot
    But this is what it opens to instead every single time:
    Screenshot

    Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you very much.

    :)

    How to change Start menu context menus

    Hi,

    In regards with your query, there's no way of which the More option can be moved into the main context. But what you have in mind is a good suggestion. What we can suggest is for you to provide feedback through Windows Feedback app. You can get the feedback
    app through this link.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How to change Start menu context menus

    Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the "More" submenu and integrate its options into the main context menu? I believe this style was introduced in the Anniversary Update. Does anyone know why this was done?

    You may also want the next two ('recently added...' and 'most used...') to be 'Off' as in the screenshot. When turned on, these appear above the All Apps list.
     
  6. Thanks, I didn't realize that setting existed. But do you know any way to stop the internet searches from showing up?

    The option no longer exists in Settings, but the registry key that option set still exists and works as it always did. See this (up to date) tutorial....

    I recommend you try Classic Shell. You can configure it so mouse hover on the Start Button opens Classic Shell and left click opens the Start Menu. I find I never use the Start Menu anymore.
