Microsoft said Windows 11 Start Menu was built by users, immediately deprecated
Windows 11 has been out for a while, and the operating system has received mixed reviews. So why are people upset? The main reason is the lack of features users want, which brings changes that many people consider unnecessary.
Another problem with Windows 11 is that the highly interactive Start Menu on the previous version is no longer available and it has been replaced by a less interactive Start Menu like Windows 10X. The interface does not resemble the Start Menu of Windows 7 or Windows 10 and does not come with any personalization features.
The Windows 11 Start Menu interface is a simple set of randomly pinned icons by default and has a “Recommended” list of recent user activities, usually related to files or documents. Whether.
There are two small buttons “All apps” and “More” to go to a list of other apps arranged in alphabetical order.
At the top of the Start Menu interface is the search box. You can change the order of the icons, add or remove apps and that’s it. According to Microsoft, Windows 11 does not allow users to resize and align the Start Menu because it would disrupt the consistency of the interface.
Microsoft recently sent an email with a video to Windows 11 Insider users, saying that the Start Menu is built by users, based on feedback from users.
Windows 11 Inside story – How we made the Start
In the email, Microsoft said: “Windows 11 Start Menu is focused on you. We rely on your feedback to guide development.”
Microsoft says it listened to feedback and did a lot of research on user questions like “Should the Start Menu align left or center?”, “Should there be a list of all apps?“,…
After weighing these questions, Microsoft says it’s put it all together to create a familiar Start Menu experience with the search bar, documents, and apps.
Microsoft said: “Microsoft designers believe they’re on the right track and building something that people really like.”
However, users disagreed that Microsoft listened to them, with most people criticizing the company for creating a dull Start Menu without any options for customization.
“Windows 10’s Start Menu is amazing because it’s so customizable. Resize and group icons, set width and height as you want and choose number of icons in menu, this helps me increase my productivity. W11’s Start Menu is very limited, and this sucks.”one user commented.
Another user agreed with the above argument and added that the user just wanted “personalization capabilities”.
“Windows 10 Start Menu is not the best, but at least you can personalize it more and organize it as you want. Now there’s an app drawer that looks like a smartphone interface and you can only pin apps. What is the purpose of creating menus for widgets?”a frustrated Windows 11 user commented.
“Give us more options, don’t take it down and make changes against the user’s wishes.” another user suggested.
