Discuss new Windows 10 build 9926

I thought the whole point of feedback was so that each build would have changes we wanted, but it doesn`t seem that way at all.

Or does MS just do what they think is best and we have to live with it.

Maybe there`ll be commercials saying "Hey, my name is Joe and Windows 10 wasn`t my idea"

Microsoft Says Windows 10 Build 9926 Is Entirely Built on User Feedback

Pure hogwash M$ is back to there agenda with a passion looks like W7 for me.

Who`s majority opinion Dave ?

I see nothing but complaints about every build.

Imagine a world, where all the machines, ATM, POS, Phones, Tablets, Desktops used the same OS...then look at a picture of Microsoft, then try to test what works and move on to the next build...

I for one am a user that really likes the new start menu. The way it's organized is both nice and helpful for me at least. And I've not had an issue so far changing the title of the categories.

But what if one doesn't want categories? How do we get rid of those headings, or the empty spaces which inexplicably are for typing in headings for the Apps, to reclaim the space for a compact Start Menu with Pinned, Most Used and selected App tiles?

With maybe half of users pushing for Desktop style while the other half pushes for touch/tablet, they surely have difficult choices to make. But the way it was explained to me this will be sorted out in Continuum so that once you choose your interface or its chosen for you by the presence of touch (or not), the customizations would only need to be for that format. I feel like I'm having to retrieve a Start menu for Desktop use from encroaching touch/tablet preeminence that ruined 8 for most consumers.

@gregrocker to get rid of the categories with the dots just delete all text in each category listed and they will disappear. I managed to get my Start Menu arranged with no spaces although sometimes it takes some persuading to get a new row added without a space between.

One positive change by M$ is you can now move or place a tile where you want it and all of the rest of the tiles no longer reshuffle themselves undoing ones work to organize the tiles the way they want.

I would hope that in future builds that more customization options will be added and some restored such as turning live tiles on or off.

MS didn't have to change anything on the old Start Menu, all they needed to do was to add 1 simple icon for those who already learned to love the Start Screen:
