I actually really liked the start menu on windows 8, especially when set up in full screen. The minimalist design really suited me and it reminded me of some Linux distro launchers like the gnome one. One of the very few things I liked in this version 😊
I never used Windows 11, but just like in Windows 10, there’s probably a group policy or registry that you can change to disable web searches, recommendations, and other bloatware in the Start menu.
The Windows search system can be tweaked to only browse local files, but to do that you either need to browse the Registry Editor and modify some values or you have to use third party software like WinAero Tweaker. Microsoft really hates convenience at times.
i had just disabled Web searches in start menu , by disabling some service, and now i have the best Windows Start menu ever. Its only disabling the Web search away from a clean Start interface
I use a Microsoft surface and in all honestly I wish they bring back the windows 8 start menu or the windows 10 full screen start menu and make it optional, it’s really useful for those pc/tablet hybrid devices and many people as myself have actual use cases for both styles.
I've been using Windows since '95. For me, the start menu was essentially non functional until Vista. In Vista they introduced search. I still only use the start menu to search for and run apps. Win key on the keyboard, type part of the app name, and Enter to run it or Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run as admin. No other feature of the start menu has been useful to me or has drawn me to use it.
I’m staying on windows 10 until they fix all the bugs with basic features on W11, like why does my file explorer randomly crash when I try to rename a folder, or why do programs just stop working when minimized sometimes?
I prefer the Windows 11 start menu, just get rid of the ads and the recommended, I like everything else they with it because it's intuitive and looks nice.
Windows 7's menu was the best. The search function didn't do web searches,just use your web browser if you're gonna whats the point if it brings up the browser anyway?,and the files came up nearly instantly and not 10 hours like 10 and 11 and it had shortcuts to some of the system folders
I've used Win7 for most of my life, but Windows Vista has the best looking UI overall, including the start menu, Windows 10 also looks good if you remove ads and only add the apps you need in the tiles section, they also have something similar to folders in Win11 IIRC, but I'll probably consider installing Win10 ltsc in the future.
You can actually completely delete copilot,edge and all those stuff to get rid of the web results using apps like geek uninstaller and changing/adding a few registries
For me Win 10 is best (good enough that I have gone through the effort to bring it back on 11). A classic start menu, folders on the side and the groupable tiles on the side, simply GOAT.
Tbh the worst thing about it is that the start menu is in the middle and sp horizontal by default. I want to see my other stuff while I open the start menu but the Win11 start menu just blovks my view of the middle.
You know what they should do they should implement like a setting in the start menu where you can add your own start menu picture so I can finally add the original start menu from Windows Vista LOL or 7
Yeah, they should. They should also bring back the Windows Vista theme and, like this person said, we should be able to disable Copilot. Its sometimes inaccurate. It's AI, by the way.
Any type of search is broken in windows nowadays, sometimes gives you garbage sometimes doesn't even work at all,even when you are looking at the file itself!!!
when you are searching something in the start menu, at the top it says all, it's stupid that you need to switch it, but click documents and it should show it

Windows 10 Technical Preview.
It is literally a Windows 8ified 7 Start Menu, with the folder-esque features, etc. of the Start Screen on the right

Good old Windows NT/XP is good. You get the muscle memory to work for you to start whatever you want.
In case you didn't know, you can customise Windows 11 start menu search results to prioritise local search results to be displayed at the top.
For the search highlights you can turn them off in settings
Start menu folders were actually introduced in Windows 10 lol
Recommendations can be hidden in start menu also you can hide the widgets thingy on the left side
you can only make it smaller and he did not talk about hating the center but we know we can left it.
App folders and system folders have both existed since Vista
i didnt even know you could make folders and move stuff in the start menu
Yeah the worst thing about Windows is their users.
My favorite is 7. It was more compact abd complete than Vista, no touchscreen tiles bullshit and the taskbar used 32x32 icons meaning they weren't blurred like 10 and 11
You can just unpin (completely remove) the tiles
Windows XP is my personal fav from windwos I used:
98, XP, Vista, Enterprise, 7, 8.1, 10, 11
Windows 10 had folders inside "folders"(categories), and that was great.
You can hide the recommended tho

Start screen
@@Reed_Peer yeah i meant that
10 is my favorite
My favorite start menu is LXQt fancy application menu. So simple and easy to customize.
Anything from XP to. Windows 10 was great, and I really love the Live tiles on windows 10.
Windows 11 is my favourite start menu. I also used windows 10 but somehow windows 11 is more colorful and yeah
I killed the web search as the first thing. Moved it to the left second thing. Took the recommendation feature and buried it. Now it's good
I never used Windows 11, but just like in Windows 10, there’s probably a group policy or registry that you can change to disable web searches, recommendations, and other bloatware in the Start menu.
Personally I loved the Vista theme, start menu and Aero style. It was fresh and extremely nice to watch
*sigh*
Everything Vista did… 7 did better…
You could do both app and system folders in Windows 10, but in Windows 10 you had Live Tiles which were goat
I love the Vista and 7 start menus and the Orb was amazing and should have been continued in future versions
The Windows search system can be tweaked to only browse local files, but to do that you either need to browse the Registry Editor and modify some values or you have to use third party software like WinAero Tweaker.
Microsoft really hates convenience at times.
Can't agree more about the recommended option
Windows 7 of course is the best, i will make a customizable Windows version, to get Windows 7 back safely. And Windows 7 had custom start folders too.
There was a windows 10 beta build for the planned revamp which turned in to win 11 which was pretty gud if I remember correctly
Idk why but for me windows 8.1 is a legend , vista is on the 2nd place tho!
"Microsoft give us a option to customize our start menu"If they do that there will be a new linux distro called windo linux ( I 'm an arch user)
It would be so much better if the recommended section was a recent files section.
i had just disabled Web searches in start menu , by disabling some service, and now i have the best Windows Start menu ever. Its only disabling the Web search away from a clean Start interface
You can disable the bing reserch in the start menu in the options
you can actually disable web search in the start menu by using registry editor

For win11 search ads, you can go in search settings or something in settings and remove bing from allowed apps to show content
Its only in europe for win 10 and 11

Windows 10 RTM’s start menu and search menu were perfect but of course they had to be ruined
You can also create folders in start menu in Windows 10...
You can disable bing search in regedit.. one of the first things that I do after an win installation

Best combo of the classic and "modern" start menu.

Idk why but I like the windows XP one. No it’s not nostalgia I’ve never used one

You can edit some register to stop the copilot showing you web search

I like recommendations 😅
You could get access to downloads etc in windows 10 start menu and older also i think
You can disabled the side ads on search
Win7 could do start folders too
I like W11, but you need to disable web searches that bettered my life so much
I remember thinking that the colors meant summer winter fall and spring
Windows 7 had a no nonsense start menu imo
When are people and youtubers ever gonna learn that you can just regedit and get rid of all of that.
To disable search bar connection to internet use firewall.
Good taste in games! 👍

In fact all of the cool you found about the win11 start menu was in Windows 10 decades before Windows 11.

The only Windows 11 I would use it is the LTSC version. No ads,accounts and bloatware preinstalled
We all know windows 7 start menu was the GOAT
You can use a registry command to disable Bing/Copilot in search
