Make Windows 10 Start Menu Like Windows 7 - Guide

Customizing the Windows 10 Start Menu

The Windows 10 Start Menu can appear cluttered due to the presence of numerous live tiles. Users who prefer a simpler interface can easily remove these tiles.

To eliminate live tiles, a simple right-click on each tile followed by selecting “Unpin from Start” is all that is required.

Removing the live tiles results in a more streamlined and less visually busy Start Menu.

Adjusting the Start Menu Color

The color scheme of the Start Menu can also be modified to suit user preferences. This is achieved by right-clicking within an empty area of the menu.

Selecting “Personalize” from the resulting context menu opens a customization panel.

A color selector is then presented, allowing for easy adjustments to the Start Menu’s appearance.

Restoring Tiles to the Windows Start Menu

Tiles that have been removed from the Start Menu can be easily reinstated. Navigate to the All Apps section, then locate the application whose tile you wish to re-add.

A simple right-click on the desired app, followed by selecting the "Pin to Start" option, will restore its live tile to the Start Menu.

Re-Pinning Process

This method allows users to customize their Start Menu layout. It provides a straightforward way to re-organize and personalize the display of frequently used applications.

The process ensures that users can quickly access their preferred apps directly from the Start Menu interface.

It's worth noting that some users have expressed a desire for further customization options within the Windows taskbar.

Specifically, there's a recurring request to modify or remove the Search button from the taskbar.
