Microsoft is rolling out a redesigned Start menu for Windows 11 users, featuring a larger layout that consolidates functionality onto a single scrollable page. Users can disable the recommended feed, allowing for a cleaner interface. The new design provides easy access to all apps without navigating through multiple sections, with options for a category view or list format. Users can pin up to eight apps per row, with no restrictions on the number of rows. This updated Start menu is currently being tested in the 24H2 builds of Windows 11 and is also being backported to the 23H2 versions, indicating a wider rollout is expected soon.
