Windows 10: Windows 10 How to remove the Ribbon menu?

There is a ribbon on all the menus. MS put into Office years ago and ruined a perfectly decent program. I got so frustrated I gave up using it. You can never find anything.


Now I've got Windows 10 and having a lot of problems setting it up corectly.


Access to so many things is either hidden or you need to use HKEY to fix it. Personlisation is a nightmare. Bing is like a yoyo virus, but I've removed it from most things. But the menus are driving me potty.


How do you get normal menus?

I do not need to know how to temp hide the ribbon, I want it gone. I cannot use the menu if I need to display the ribbon. If people want to use the ribbon then that is their choice, but what about my choice?

I'm just frustrated with hopping all over the place with big icons using up so much space. It's like trying to navigate a weird language. It's so slow and I do not find it intuitive or user friendly.

All help is appreciated.


If anyone knows how to improve the Start menu I'm also grateful. The line space per item is too much. If I could shrink the icon, it might help. I've deleted all the big icons that appear on right side of menu as they were useless. and replaced with most frquently used small icon etc.


It's as if someone did not design it for a desktop. I do not want to scroll when there is plenty of space unused between items in the list. Any ideas welcome.

menu on ribbon

Hi Enrique,

Are you referring to the ribbon menu? I suggest you click on View and expand the
ribbon.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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?
