This gives you an opportunity to remove unwanted items from the menu and make it decluttered, add your most useful apps to the list, get rid of app suggestions, and even enlarge the menu to cover your entire screen.
Resize The Start Menu
On most computers, the Windows 10 Start Menu only occupies a part of your screen real estate. If you want it to stretch and cover more area on your screen, you can customize the Windows 10 start menu in this way by dragging it to whatever direction you want it to stretch into.
Add & Remove App Tiles
The Start Menu doesn’t have a tile for each app installed on your computer. However, you can add tiles for your chosen apps to the menu if you like. You can also remove existing app tiles if you don’t want to keep them there.
Add An App Tile
Remove An App Tile
Right-click on the tile you want to remove and select Unpin from Start.
Rearrange Tiles In The Menu
Windows arranges the tile icons by itself but you can manually arrange them to give priority to your most used tiles. You can change the order of the tiles and your apps will appear accordingly.
Disable Live Tiles
There are certain tiles in your menu that show live information such as real-time weather data. If you don’t use those tiles, you can turn them off so they aren’t live anymore.
Add Tiles Into Folders
If you’ve added more tiles to your menu than it can accommodate on a single screen, you can group your tiles so they all appear in a single folder-like structure. You may want to use it for the tiles that are related to each other (such as entertainment apps).
Change The Tile Size
Like the Start Menu, you can change the size of individual tiles as well. This way your chosen tiles can appear larger or smaller than any other tiles in the menu. You may want to do it for your frequently used tiles so they’re easy to locate in the menu.
Enable Full-Screen Menu
If you often pick items from the Start Menu, its default size might not be convenient for you. Luckily, you can customize the Windows 10 Start Menu to go full-screen. It then covers your entire screen when you launch it.
Change Start Menu Color
The Start Menu adapts the default color of your system, and if you don’t like the current color, you can change it fairly easily. All the tiles and the icons in the menu will then use your chosen color.
Disable App Suggestions
Sometimes Windows suggests you apps that you should be installing on your computer in the Start Menu. If you don’t like it, you can disable an option and it’ll hide app suggestions in the menu.
Change The Folders That Appear In The Menu
Windows shows certain folders of yours in the Start Menu by default but it gives you the option to hide and unhide these folders. This way you can customize the Windows 10 Start Menu and only keep your chosen folders in the list. Have you ever customized your Windows 10 Start Menu? If so, what changes did you make to it?
