    The Microsoft Start app is essentially useless.


    The Start app is useless. It works once for accessing and reading articles from the MSN homepage and then it quits. The only way to access it again and actually open and read anything is to uninstall and reinstall it. Considering that reading anything from MSN now requires the Start app, this means MSN, I its entirely, no longer works at all. What is going on here? What am I missing?

    Windows 10 Windows Defender versus Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hi Bryan,

    Microsoft Security Essentials was upgraded to Windows defender and it was a default security software from Windows 8. You cannot have both as they are one.

    Since you get this annoying popup at the startup i suggest you to disable any Microsoft Security Essentials entries in Startup tab.

    • Open the Task manager. by pressing Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • click on Startup tab
    • Right click on Microsoft Security Essentials entry and click on Disable.

    Restart the computer and check if that helps.

    The Microsoft Start app is essentially useless.

    Kill the letters! (Start menu apps list.)


    One final hack/adjustment and I will be at peace.
    So far no-one has come up with a way to remove the stupid letters from the start menu apps list... have they?

    Please do NOT suggest third part apps.
    I value the right click menu features on the Start button and all the third party Start Menu apps screw with this.
    I don't want another program, I just want the stupid clumsy letters gone!

    Any creative geniuses out there?
    I'm not the only one who wants this, surely! The Microsoft Start app is essentially useless. :)

    And it doesn't even work...
    Is the name of the program used to determine where the app goes or the name of the company that makes the program.. or even whether it's free or not!
    (See image F for Free!)
    Useless and pathetic Microsoft!
