"The Windows 11 Start menu has been a divisive change from the get-go. Some people apparently love it, while others hate it. (Yes, I'm in the latter category.) Since the OS debuted in 2021, Microsoft has taken baby steps to try to address some of the menu's flaws. But now, it's undergoing a more dramatic overhaul. Following a lengthy period in which the new menu was available only for testing among Windows insiders, the redesigned Start menu is now rolling out to all Windows 11 users."
"Right off the bat, you'll notice that the Apps section is no longer a separate window that you have to click to open. Instead, this section is now integrated into the main page of the Start menu, so it's automatically visible and accessible. In a nod toward customization, Microsoft offers three different views for the Apps section. With Category view, your installed apps are placed into folders that attempt to organize them based on type, similar to the App Library on iPhones and iPads."
Microsoft is rolling out a redesigned Windows 11 Start menu to all users after testing among Windows Insiders. The update integrates the Apps section directly into the main Start page and introduces three Apps views: Category (apps grouped into folders by type, similar to the iPhone App Library), List (alphabetical listing), and Grid (pinned apps). Users can obtain the preview update KB5067036 via Settings > Windows Update after enabling 'Get the latest updates as soon as they're available', then download, install, and reboot. If the update is not yet present, expect a phased rollout over a few days. Third-party Start menu replacements remain available.
