Why is "start" in the background process?

Go to solution Solved by GoodBytes,

In the latest version of Windows 10, Microsoft separated the Start Menu from Explorer.

The end results:

  • Microsoft can better debug Start menu issues
  • If it ever gets stuck or bugs out you can kill the Start menu process (will re-open once you hit the start button), without having to kill off explorer.exe, and lose all opened folders.

So i was thinkering with my settings today and noticed that certain background processes were busy when i was not aware of them.

Some i have fixed, but i stumbled upon the following:

Not sure if this was always there, so i thought i ask the forum.

I never noticed it on my previous windows installment at least (or did not pay attention to it until now)

 

When i collapse it, it just says "start".
