Windows 10: Why was the Start Menu removed from windows 11?

I've been trying to get a fix so I can get a working start menu as per all the other older windows versions. However it seems they have been blocked/broken by Microsoft.The start menu now is garbage. If you can avoid upgrading I would. I much prefer a sensible start menu. It doesn't scroll well or function at all well. I can't find where to stick feedback to Microsoft but its that poor I'll post it anywhere. I hate it. /endrant

Add or Remove Items for All Apps in Start menu in Windows 10  


Hi, @Brink:

My caffeine titer is low, so I must be missing some blatant, basic step to add a shortcut to my account's All Apps list in the Start menu (Option1).
The new process both for creating shortcuts and for adding/removing items to the Win10 start menu has me flummoxed.
Your tutorials are always "topnotch", so this must be a cockpit error on my part.

>I would like to follow the suggestion on page 1 of the wushowhide.diagcab tutorial to add a shortcut in All Apps for my account.

I have d/l the wushowhide.diagcab and saved it to my downloads folder.
I have done Step 1 on Page 1 of THIS tutorial to navigate to the Start Menu Programs folder.
But HOW do I actually complete Step 3 to create a shortcut and then add it to the Start Menu "All Apps"??

I think I need to first somehow create a shortcut for the .cab file and then add it to All Apps in the start menu???

Please advise.

Thanks!
MM

P.S. I have been postponing the probably inevitable installation of Class Shell.
I would rather not have to install a 3rd-party program to be able to perform basic Windows tasks.
But this new workflow in Win10 for a basic functionality might force me to do it.
Sigh.

 

Remove Realtek Audio Console From Start Menu

@unifex. Please start your own thread in the Windows 11 forum If you want help or comment on Windows 11.
If you uninstall the Realtek Audio control panel, you will also uninstall the Realtek driver for your speakers.
If you don't like Windows 10 or 11's Start Menu we suggest installing the Open-Shell app which gives you a Windows 7 looking Start Menu with the All Programs list. You might find it easier to navigate. Windows (Store) Apps will still be separate from Programs but that's the way it's going to be from now on.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
