All Apps in Start Menu

That looks like Classic Shell is installed as that is not a normal Win 10 Start menu.
Try uninstalling Classic Shell if installed then download and install the latest, see if that helps.

I don't remember installing Classic Shell on my computer. It doesn't appear in my programs list to uninstall. I actually want this arrangement on my Start Menu and I had it without installing anything. My computer came installed with Windows 10.

What I have now doesn't seem right. I have the "All Apps" expanded when I click on the Windows Start Menu icon. This is instead of the usual Start Menu. How do I undo the automatically expanded "All Apps"? There is no option to go back. Thanks.

I swear that's Classic Shell that you posted a picture of. I've never seen a normal Windows 10 Start Menu that looks like what you posted. Perhaps you need Classic Shell to get back to what you had before?

The big update you received is the Anniversary Update, version 1607 build 14393.0. Several updates on top of it should have taken you to 14393.51. There were some significant changes in the Start Menu for the Anniversary Update and what you are describing is one of the changes (I think).


I use Stardock's Start10 so my Start Menu looks like this:


This is what my normal Windows 10 Start Menu looks like:


This is what Classic Shell looks like. Pretty much identical to the "what you had" picture you posted.

Glad I could help. If you liked the Windows 7 Start, give Classic Shell a try. Just uninstall if you don't like it.
