Windows 10: Start Button

The new start-button Menu is nice and very cute, but it's not for me. How can I turn off all the blinkin panels and pictures and just have a normal old style Menu with my apps in list?

Thanks for any and all input.

Start Button

Let's execute these 2 basic troubleshooting first and check after each step

1. Run Start menu troubleshooter

2. Reinstall Start Menu / Cortana

Windows Key+X > Click Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below and paste into Powershell > Enter > Reboot your computer

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Copy and paste following into Powershell and Enter

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Glad to hear that everything's good on your end. Do post again if there's anything else you need.

All the best.

 

You can try Classic Shell, if you want. It is a free start menu replacement.

You can get it from here

 

.. you can even change Classic Shell's start button - I have one like the Win 7 Orb now- just use the button from this skin:
Seven VG skin
(Button images require 3 images as a bmp e.g.)

 

Yep, Classic Shell is the way to go for everybody who wants a traditional start menu.

 

Maybe also talking about live tiles, right click the app and turn it off.
