    Start Menu - Set Number of Most Recent Programs ?


    Mine's the same res. but 15.6" laptop. Feel free to start a new thread if searching the forum doesn't help with your printer.

    (I ignore the dreadful Win 10 start menu and use Classic Shell!)

    Start Menu - Set Number of Most Recent Programs ?

    I've used Win10 on other people's desktops and virtual machines for the past year... but, until recently, had stuck with Win7 for my primary desktop.

    I'll grant that Win10 is an improvement in every way over 8/8.1... but the Start Menu still falls short of Windows 7. It just added too little, and removed too much.

    I ended up replacing the Win10 Start Menu with StartIsBack (StartIsBack: real start menu for Windows 8 and Windows 10)

    It's not free, but only costs $2 per PC. I call that a pretty fair price.
