Make the Start Menu look like you want it to

Hellomynameis99

Greetings!

 

So I just updated to the latest version of Windows 10 (As you do).

Then, I got angry at all the things they changed that I originally liked (As you do).

 

This time, it was the Start Menu. This is how I had it before I updated - nice and simple, beautiful, and functional.

This is what it looks like now - Everything I want is squished up into the left side, and the all apps list has been blown up and stuck in the middle of everything.

I took a look at the settings and everything was how I left it before I updated:

So now to the question part of the post, where you (hopefully!) can help me. Does anyone know of a way to make the start menu look and function like the first example? I've been looking around online, but it's hard to phrase exactly what I want in Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

No, there is no option to revert the Start Menu. This was a change voted on by Windows Insiders like myself (I did not vote for or against this change) during testing phases prior to the release of Build 14393. If you don't like it, I suggest becoming a Windows Insider yourself so you can participate in future OS voting.

unfortunately there's no way of reverting back to the old start menu.... unless you actually revert back the windows version.
