Windows 10: Several Questions About Windows 10 (as a new user).

Hello, I recently made the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I have some questions about the OS:

1. The alphabetical start menu is a bit annoying. Can I turn off sorting it like that? Someone requested the same thing back in 2015 and I was wondering if this is still a permanent thing even now.
2. The task manager is impressively detailed now, but there doesn't seem to be a way to delay startup programs so they don't all start up at once? I was using Startup Delayer on Windows 7, and it seems like I'll have to keep on using it.
3. The Email Client: You can choose to display 'Unread' messages only, but I don't see an option to enable it by default every time I open the app. There's no way to do so?
4. What's up with Windows 10 automatically assigning my username for my computer based on my Outlook email? And why is it so hard to change it compared to Windows 7? I had to actually reset Windows because I wanted to change it and ending up doing something wrong. This wasn't a fool-proof guide, unfortunately.
5. Does Game Mode do anything significant in terms of better gaming performance? I would imagine any differences, if any, would be unnoticeable on mid to high-end PCs. But if I'm correct, there appears to be a noticeable difference between Directx12 and Directx11.
6. Does Windows 10 really make programs like CCleaner redundant? It's what I've been hearing about recently.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
