Windows 10: Picture of Start Menu

Really, do not bother using/going through the Start menu for anything. Basically, quit using it sometime in the early days of Windows 7. But, I do use an Applications FE window Below is a picture of Start menu.BTW, just hit the Win key & begin typing when wanting to search. Saves having Search anything on the taskbar. Always 3 cheers for less stuff there.Cheers,Drew

Windows 10 Start menu is empty

Hi. Steps 1 and 2 didn't do much but step 3 has restored what looks like the list of original Microsoft apps but no sign of any of the many apps I have installed. And there are no tiles in the start menu. Any suggestions please?

 

Weird start menu problem, I've been searching for hours


Hi, the 2nd picture is not a current start menu picture- and certainly not related to the anniversary edition- assuming you have the anniversary edition that is. (build 14393.51).

'All apps' has vanished from the start menu in the current build- that was in build 1511 from November 2015 until August 2nd when the new build was released. MS now lists all items the start menu finds as per your 1st picture. If you want something different, you'll need a replacement 3rd party start menu.

(I see 3 icons to the left of the list of programs in my Win 10 start menu- this is configurable in Settings, search for choose which folders..).

So your picture is of the current start menu, anniversary edition.

Suggest it's worth searching the internet for articles on what's changed in the anniversary edition.
