    Where is the Taskbar & Start Menu Properties in the Anniversary Update


    In 1511 I right clicked in the Start field and it brought up a Properties link. Then there were lots of configuration setting for the Start screen. That no longer works.

    To the point, before I was able to hide the Apps column and access it by clicking All Apps. I'd like to reset that back.

    Possible now?

    :)
     

  2. Where is the Start menu tab in Taskbar properties in Windows 10?

    Click the Windows key and type "Use start full screen" (it will suggest it to you before you finish) and configure your Start menu as you wish.

    Kind regards.

    No, sorry. People keep asking.. this is a design change by MS as you will see if you search the web for articles e.g.
    "what has changed in the windows anniversary edition"

    e.g.
    How to change START look, cant remove all app mode - Windows 10 Forums

    If you don't like it, I recommend using a 3rd party start menu. The Win 10 start menu fails miserably in representing a Win 7 style start menu folder structure using subfolders.

    Yes, you are correct.
    The message has been quite clear for the past year: "Your preferences are not important. Just get used to it."

    ...MS is on a mission. Cross platform compatibility with one offering. But it's also had to backtrack a bit. Windows is less flexible than it was in some ways, exp. appearance.

    You are still free to install a 3rd party menu. I use Classic Shell- it just works.

    I've played with those, including classic shell. It's just not so important I need to invest the time.
    My only beef is that this PC is in an office setting, and when I fire it up in the morning to get some work done I don't need to be dealing with my workspace changing without notice (or permission).
