Yeppers. I do it a little differently, but the result's the same. I didn't see your post, so I gave him the "how to" link from Eight Forums. I'm just not that great at writing tutorials.

A tip for Quick Launch users who sign in to Windows with MS Account:

If you are like me and you have the same drive structure on each Windows PC you use, in my case C: for installed software and Windows itself, D: for virtual machines and E: for user profiles, you can create your own Quick Launch folder in OneDrive at %userprofile%\OneDrive.

Now instead of adding the %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer folder to your taskbar, use the one on your OneDrive. Your Quick Launch will now be the same on each Windows computer, and it will be synced. The identical drive structure and install locations are important in order to find the targets for the Quick Launch toolbar shortcuts on each PC. An example: If your Chrome browser is installed on drive C: on PC1 but on drive D: on PC2, and your Quick Launch has a shortcut for it on drive C:, then on PC1 this shortcut will show the Chrome icon and launch Chrome when clicked, whereas PC2 showing the same synced Quick Launch shows an empty placeholder icon and tells you that the target can't be found.

Here's my synced Quick Launch showing what I mean. A fresh install, I have not installed Office yet on this PC, so although individual Office app shortcuts work and show real icons on other computers using this Quick Launch, on this one they still show a placeholder icon and would not work when clicked:

The same PC, same Quick Launch, it looks a bit screwed because the placeholder icons for software not yet installed:

The same OneDrive\Quick Launch toolbar on another PC where all the software is already installed:

need to know guys,

is there a possibility not to need to hit the Windows logo in the left corner to get the start, but to have it always.

I want it to look like...see attachment

thanks

I'm not on Win 10 right now but you might want to check out the taskbar properties (right-click taskbar) and look for the option to toggle it on and off as shown below.

reinstalled it with a clean install

Have you noticed any improvement since you did that?? I sure did.

Dave44 said:

yes I have noticed improvements good to have the start menu apps bug fixed

I agree.. with the leak(10056) it just was way too buggy but now it's nice and stable. And I like the ability to not have a transparent start menu.
