  1. Resize start menu


    Hi Group
    I was able to resize the start menu in build 9926 using the registry hack. I see that the hack is there in 100041 and 100049. But I cant resize the start menu now. Anyone else have this problem.
    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Resizable Windows 10 Start Menu and Vertical v. Horizontal Scroll

    Hello,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    You can resize your start menu on your Windows 10 computer. You can just click on the edge of the start menu and stretch to expand it.

    You can also make it full screen. You may refer the article below to resize the start menu.

    I don't want the silly thing splattered all over my screen; I want to be able to size it so it holds my icons so I see only what I need to see. *Confused

  6. That's what I wanted also. To be able to drag the borders until it fits only the tiles I choose to have. It wasn't a feature in 9926 either but someone created a registry hack, that's what we need this time.

    Unfortunately MS changed the code they use to create the start menu and it can't be hacked like it was in earlier builds. Shawn(Brink) has tried with no success.

    Use the Feedback tool to let Microsoft know what you want.

    I agree, would be nice to be able to resize. Everyone would be able to have what they like. I would resize the same as Seven.

    That is what third party developers are for. . .it is not Miscrosoft's job to see that everyone gets what they want. If they did you wouldn't be able to find a HDD or SDD that would be large enough to fit the OS on, or a computer that would be able to handle the massive size of the OS. If you want something special then develop it yourselve or use some from a third party developer; they need to eat too. . .*Wink

    Hehe Rich,

    words of wisdom. I want the Start Screen back, the Apps screen and the Charms Bar. Do not think if i give feedback to M.S. that it will help me.

    Did gave feedback on the subject though, know that it will not change anything.

  12. Why do you thing MS is changing the menu? Because of the feedback people are giving. That and they're trying to make it work on all devices.

    That's where MS is going wrong, IMO. The menu issue is really just a PC thing - no phone would be able to read those tiny items in the list. Maybe a tablet, but tablet users have enough trouble with fat fingers (at least I do) *Tongue

    My choice would be to make a two pane 'window' - the left pane would hold you frequently used apps for quick access and the right pane would hold All apps. Each pane could be displayed as text or graphically and each pane could be sorted just like a File explorer Window. The right pane (all apps) could be collapsed leaving only the left pane (freq apps) or expanded showing all apps. And the whole thing could be full page (Start Screen) with expandable All Apps (just like Win8)

    But hey, no one listens to me either *Wink

    Resize start menu

    I'm a member of Microsoft's Yammer Office 365 Network. There is a Windows 10 group within that network.

    I started a poll, asking: The Charms Bar is gone in Windows 10 Technical Preview. Do you want it back?

    Yes = 35%
    No = 43%
    I can live with or without it = 22%

    Although I hate the thing, the results of this poll are so close as to be neck and neck. Therefore, it's my opinion that Microsoft should make us all happy . . .

    Give us a way to Turn the Charms Bar ON! Give us a way to Turn the Charms Bar completely OFF! Yep, even the ones who can take it or leave it will have a choice (Do I like it? Do I want it?)

    Rumor has it that the Start Menu may be re-sizable, in one of the next Builds, as well as transparency as an option.
    Speculation points towards Build 10054 or 10056, but who knows.

  15. I like that idea, sounds very similar to 8

    The top pane shows your apps that you choose for quick access
    expand it by swipping up or clicking arrow and you get all apps
