Windows 10: Want old style START MENU without tiles

Hi Everyone,
I did the online upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 some time back.
My windows 10 start menu was still in the old style without tiles, wish I was happy about.
Last week, my laptop did a lengthy windows update, and now I have tiles on my start menu.

I don't like this.
Is there a way to get the old style back?
Unpinning each tile one by one is not the same.
Please help thanks

:)

 

I can't seem to be able to edit the tiles on the start menu with Windows 10?

Hi,



Sorry for the delay in response.

• What exactly happens when you try to edit the tiles on the start menu?
• Aren't you able to organize the tiles?

If you have tried it on the Start Menu style, we would suggest you to check in the full screen style and check.



To do so,

• Right click on an empty space in the desktop screen and select Personalize.
• Click Start and then move the slider to the right to turn on full screen and then try to edit the tiles and check

Thank you.

 

Got Win 10 but cannot get Start Page with Tiles. I can see old fashioned Start Menu

What do you mean by old fashioned Start Menu? Does it at least have a new User Interface? If yes the solution can be. I suggest checking the tablet mode under the action centre if you see tiles there then they work. What I think is that
you need to pin them to start menu. since in one of the videos I seen, if you remove all tiles you can have the old fashioned start menu. Maybe for you it was made by default start menu without any tiles.

 

Hello, the Win 10 start menu has always provided the ability to show tiles.

It is, however, very poor for anyone with an extensive start menu organised with folders and subfolders.

Try Classic Shell (free) - used by many here. Highly configurable, familiar to XP and '7 users, - you can also launch universal apps. No tiles. And you can still launch Win 10's menu.

There several similar posts if you look thru the customisation section and many recommendations for Classic Shell.

 

I second the use of Classic Shell (Classic Start Menu). Can make the start menu look and act pretty much like Windows 7 if you like, but with even more configuration.

 

Classic Shell is excellent. You can configure it so mouse hover on the start button opens Classic Shell and mouse click opens the Start Menu - so can use either menu *Smile

 

I decided to go in a different way. I never liked the latest start button, So I found this http://startisback.com/

Great tool and priced right.

 

+1 for StartIsBack, used it for win 8, 8.1 and now 10 also $2.99 for lifetime licence is good value

 

I'm confused. Unless you unpinned them, all versions of Windows 10 have the tiles. Why don't you just unpin them from your current start menu?

 

Classic Shell does everything StartIsBack++ does for free. Not sure why you went with the latter. *Smile

 

+1 for Classic Shell. It's by far the most customizable start menu out there. And it's free. But if Startisback works for you that's also ok.

 

Or you could try the new menus for a while - many users find the new style grows on you once you use them a bit. Personally, I would never go back!

 

Like I said in Post 4, you can use both.

 

For me, it works much better and is easier to use than Classic Shell. I paid $5 for five lifetime licenses a few years ago. That's almost like being freeware. It seems to use less resources for me, and also works on Server 2012 R2.
