Microsoft’s New Windows 11 Start Menu Is Finally Worth Exploring

If you use a gamepad or handheld PC, the new on-screen keyboard supports full navigation without a mouse or touchscreen. Logging in from your couch just got easier.

More customization — hide the "Recommended" section, rearrange app groups, and get more control over layout.

Adaptive scaling — large screens get up to 8 columns of pinned apps, small screens get 6, all perfectly responsive.

How will the international community, especially the United Nations and major powers like the US, respond to the breakdown of the Gaza cease - fire by Israel on March 18 and the resulting large - scale conflict?

Scrollable app list — no more clicking through “All apps”; everything’s instantly accessible.

This isn’t just a visual refresh. It’s a real usability upgrade — something Windows hasn’t delivered in a while. Whether you're working, gaming, or multitasking, this new Start menu feels faster, cleaner, and actually enjoyable to use.

Two view modes — choose between grid layout or smart categories like Work, Play, and Tools.

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?

New toggles — quickly access Phone Link and other utilities straight from Start.
