Microsoft has quietly rolled out one of the most user-friendly changes to Windows 11 in months — a redesigned Start menu that finally makes navigation smoother and more intuitive.
🚀 What’s New?
Adaptive scaling — large screens get up to 8 columns of pinned apps, small screens get 6, all perfectly responsive.

🧠 Final Thoughts
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.
Scrollable app list — no more clicking through “All apps”; everything’s instantly accessible.
New toggles — quickly access Phone Link and other utilities straight from Start.
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.
