How would you describe this?

Thought I would have my Start Menu serve a purpose, except I can't scroll horizontally without clicking somewhere! (similar to a post I made about scrolling on active/inactive windows)

Doesn't the scroll bar appear at the bottom when placing the pointer over the tiles as seen below?

Then I found that the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work unless I move the scroll bar a little first.

Yes Sir, it does, kinda hard to hit the bar quickly, though, without opening an item!
Had to create an empty area at the beginning to click on. A little handier.



The irony is this; I can open the Start Menu, mouse hover on anything on the left side to highlight the elements, All Apps opens on mouse hover after a short delay then I can scroll the All Apps menu not having clicked on anything yet.
I don't see why the right side can't be engaged on mouse hover.

Although I know they’re not finished with it yet, I can see you’re frustrated as are a lot of us with this new Start Menu. I’m even more so since there’s no way to make focus with the keyboard. No arrow key, nor Tab key work to navigate any longer in this build. LOL! I’m left looking at the blinking curser in the search box!

All in all, I’m only using the Start menu because of no configuring of booting to Start Screen yet and to learn the Start Menu, of which I’ve lost all desire to learn anymore. I never liked any of them, nor really used them since Windows 98SE. I thought there was hope when getting a keyboard with the Windows key on it, but nay. Old tech that needs to disappear as far as I’m concerned. I’ve got better things to do with my time. Good luck to those who want to persevere and suffer with it.

To be honest, I don't really use the Start Menu for much except customizations as in my previous post. Most of my frequently used programs are either pinned to the task bar, available in the WinX menu or launched from the right click context menu.

However, here's a combination of software's so cool that I had to share this with ya!
