New
#100
Inability to really configure the start menu on the new build is terrible and I was forced to go with Classic Shell as well.
Or just modify the behavior, 8.1 will go to the top tile when hitting enter. W10 does not do that, but I wish it would.
Another minor annoyance with the new Start Menu is the Power button.
In W7 I can just press:
- The Windows Logo key
- The Right Arrow Key
- The Enter key
Whatever action I have set for the Power button will be executed (Restart, Shut down, Sleep, etc.).
I can also hit the Right Arrow key twice and use the "hot key" to choose the other Power actions.
I don't need to use the mouse or even have my monitor running to do this.
In W10 I have to view the Power options, so that I can choose the correct one (i.e. I can't figure out how to set a default action for it).
Even though I didn't like the Start Screen in the W8 series, MS may as well make "All Apps" appear in the giant right pane (W8.1- style) rather than the vertical scrolling left column horror that they have currently implemented.
I agree, I said customize the scrolling left side earlier, but I really meant to get rid of it.
I don't mind a couple clicks to get to the power button, I just want to SEE IT when I get there!
