How do you organize your Start Menu? Post photos of your Windows Start Menu.

hope this goes big

Easy.

 

I don't .

[gloop]

I don’t, since I never use the damn thing. 

[Oswin]

you organize your start menu?

 

i just search what i want to use lol

[vladdeSV]

To be fair, I have all my applications I use in the taskbar or as macros (inspired by Taran).

 

If I need anything specific I just press the Windows key and type the name of the app. Much faster in my opinion.

I typically use Windows Decrapifier to remove the right side of the start menu completely,

or at least remove all of the crap spam entries from it with some basic defaults. 
 

Otherwise I don’t organize it at all.

Dat me in the corner. Hi.

 

Only organized(?) to curb the OCD demons. I... don't use half of these icons/tiles.

• Weather, News, Date & Time, Mail: Useful as live tiles, especially the weather one.
• Settings: Most of the time I search for specific settings with the Search Bar.
• Chrome, Edge, Skype: I hardly ever use these as start menu tiles, they're just there to fill space.
• Office Suite: Used sometimes.

Anything I need, I pull up with the Search Bar or ⊞ Win + E.

I don't keep anything pinned to my Start Menu.

Same deal on my desktop but taller.

[TetraSky]

Just pinning the most used stuff. Some of which I also have a shortcut on my desktop.

The only thing I changed was to add the calculator 

 

but when I use it I always forget that I have it the and manually search for it 

[EpicEric]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Basically I just have the stuff I most commonly use, and it also serves as a place for me to keep a collection of games next to eachother instead of all over the place on the list.

[zassou]

i dont

I had no idea you could even organize those stupid tiles. I also didn't know you could just hide them completely, so that's what I did

[divito]

I only have Photoshop, Lightroom, ExpressVPN, Calculator and VS Code as tiles. Though really, I use either shortcuts or search to open anything else and honestly, I could just pin those to the taskbar since they're my most used programs besides Chrome and get rid of the tiles altogether.

[Scruffy90]

I only started to recently. I put software I use daily but only need to open once on the start menu. And things I frequently use on the taskbar

[Andreas Lilja]

Classic Shell all the way m8

[starry]

Windows still has that dumb tiles feature? huh.

bY tHe WaY I uSe aRcH

[gloop]

Actually, I lied. I've just removed everything lmao.

[Volbet]

I still have my start menu in the XP-style:

The apps, apart from Steam. should be arranged by how often they've been used.

I fill mine with things like weather and news I think, 'Oh that'll be useful to look at' and proceed to never look at any of it again. The only tile actually use is my mail shortcut.

Like most people here already said, I basically never use it. Since i've used Windows 7 i never used it anymore. If something is not on my desktop or taskbar i just press the windows key start typing to search. I don't see any reason to use the start menu any other way.

Sometimes when I type/search for something it won't find it, particularly if it's not on the primary OS drive. That's pretty much the only stuff I pin. Or stuff I use frequently enough that it's faster to click an icon instead of typing.

 

But the Win10 tiles? Every time I look at Win10 I think of this video.

You likely need to enable indexing on the second drive.
