Dissapointed but not suprised.

I actually like the Windows 8.1 start menu better than the 10 version. It took a couple of days to get used to it, but between the 8.1 start and the All Apps, I can do better than with the 10 start or the 7 start.

There may have been too many people screeming for the old start. Now we got that hybrid which is neither fish nor fowl. Can't win.

PS - I should mention that I have extremely bad vision and anything BIG is good for me.

I also prefer using the All Apps screen over a traditional Start Menu. For me, I think it's easier to find stuff.

I still can't make my mind if I like it or not.

End of the day I'll get the update or buy a new copy of Win10. I really think the new version will be worth it in the long run.

...What I would love to have is an icon/selection to get to the start screen and back by pressing the desktop tile in the start screen. Just like the way I can in Win8.1.1 with Classic Shell.

Ok.. if you had Classic Shell set up there is a ICON on the top that toggles you to the Start Scree. It's in the same place that my name would be found.


You would press on that and bingo! Start Screen. Let me go over to win 8 and post an image.

Yup and that's why MS has brought it back to W10, because many people agree with you. However, for those of us who have grown to like and use the W 8.1 Start Screen, hopefully it will be available to use in W10 on non touch screens. Having the choice to set W10 up the way each user wants, would be a good thing IMHO.

Are they ever going to fix that "Mouseover on Start button" bug ? pretty annoying.

Look how long it took to get the "Up Arrow" back on Explorer! :)

In my Win8.1.1 OS I have classic shell and there is a button you can press to take you directly to the start screen. That would be nice to have in the Win10 start menu.
