    Where are the Settings/Properties for Win10's Start Menu?


    And what's up with all the errors when I click on All Apps, and one of the Apps?I often can't uninstall Microsoft apps even though there is an uninstall button. Its typically grayed out. Can I change the Start Menu so it doesn't look so useless? I want what it like it used to be like. Text not icons. I have a folder on the Start Menu with no indication of what it is because I can't Rename it. Can I set a default for how things are displayed on the Start Menu? When you use Alt_Tab the icons displayed are enormous so you can't fit many on your screen at once. I want no icons, just text.

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
