Windows 10: Take Menu tab missing from Taskbar Properties

Okay, I was following this tutorial ( How to customize the Start list in Windows 10 ) and noticed that I don't even have the, "Start Menu" tab. Is it supposed to be gone? If so. How am I supposed to customize the start list?

:)

 

Where is start menu properties tab under taskbar and start menu properties?

Where is start menu properties tab under taskbar and start menu properties?

The "start menu" properties tab under "taskbar and start menu properties" is missing.

There is no need to name the "taskbar and start menu properties" if the start menu is gone.

I think this this is a crucial feature for people who have impaired vision or just want to enhance the start menu settings.

Only preset settings for color/size of fonts are available under start settings.

Please bring back the The "start menu" properties tab under "taskbar and start menu properties".

Please don't take way complete optimizations for us Microsoft Windows savvy people.

Thank you.

 

start menu tab missing from win10 "taskbar and start menu properties"

I am trying to clear the history list in start menu and taskbar automatically recorded in win 10. However, the "start menu" tab is missing from the "taskbar and start menu properties".

There is a link to show how the "start menu" tab looks like.

But mine is missing, and also the other three tabs in "taskbar and start menu properties" might not look right. I attached snapshots for them here.






the "navigation" tab in my win 10 also looks different from the one posted on the link.

or is there another way to clear the history of lists the programs, files, folders, and websites that I opened from the start menu and taskbar? Thanks!

 

Hello Jay, and welcome to Ten Forums.

The tutorial on that site is out of date and no longer valid.

The tutorial below can help show you how to though. *Smile

That was a fast answer. Thanks.

Another question. I read on another page that if you right-click an empty area on the start list, you can change the color. However, when I right-click. It does nothing. Is it also supposed to do this?

 

It doesn't do that, but you can use the tutorials below to change the color of your Start menu if you like.

You're most welcome. *Smile

 

I have the same problem. After right clicking the Taskbar the Properties menu item is missing also so is the Search tab and the embedded selections of Hide Cortana, Show Search Box and Show Search Icon. Supposedly, Properties was to help me get the Search back but of course that is missing as well. Not sure they are not related issues but wanted to mention it. I did update the video card as suggested at the end of the thread and my device manager said I already had the latest. Any other ideas?

 

Hello nrthwds, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Taskbar properties has been moved to Settings now. When you right click on the taskbar, you can click on "Settings" to open them now.

 

Brink, thanks. Looks like I am actually in the wrong thread but are you able to help with the missing Search options?

 

The tutorial below may be able to help with that. *Smile
