I don't use tiles and likely never will, and my Win10 start menu is one-column wide--just the way I like it. I run most everything from desktop shortcut icons which I honestly think are so much nicer looking than those garish square tiles that Microsoft for some unfathomable reason thought were an "improvement"....;) Saints be praised that in Windows 10 Microsoft once again puts us in control of our GUI and lets the user do it his or her way--with or without tiles!...;) (I suppose we can be grateful for the serious mistakes leading to Windows 8/.1, because without them we'd not have seen a free Win10 upgrade...!)
I still marvel at Microsoft's ability to forget its head when it isn't glued on, though--even now. Fresh off Windows 7, by far the most popular, best-selling OS Microsoft had ever launched up to that point in time--how did the company conclude that the original Windows 8 was the way to go? It adds new meaning to the phrase "throwing out the baby with the bathwater"...;) Delighted that all of Microsoft's tiresome having to relearn its customer base is behind us...!
Tiles are really like Icons and you use those on your android and i phones all the time (or if you have ever used anything with a dock such as a mac computer) so i don't really don't understand the "anti-tile" thing i see here...I have used docks, so to me, the tiles in the start menu are just like using a dock and i am fine with it...
I didn't like the metro set up on windows 8, but having tiles on a "start" style menu as we have in windows 10, i find, is very pleasant to use... :)
