Considering Windows 10's new development methodology, you guys can continue to update the Start Menu. So I have two questions/concerns:
- Do you have a strategy to allow users to modify the Start Menu directly (e.g. akin to a bookmark manager tool). As far as I can tell right click no longer works, so renaming a folder, creating a folder, moving icons, or similar is impossible. The only way to accomplish this now is you just need to know where the Start Menu's content is located on disk and go do it using File Explorer. Also the Startup folder is hidden.
- Why when I hit "All Apps" does it only use up 1/3 of the space for the app list? Why not have it expand out to a multi-column widget? Being able to see my pinned apps after I hit "All Apps" isn't useful.
1. Stay tuned. We've received a lot of feedback on that. We do look at the Windows Feedback app reports; it's all automated, so once something gets upvoted enough it gets routed to the feature team.
2. I'm personally working on all apps list improvements. I don't know if I can share details yet until we push stuff out to Insiders.
Thanks for the info. It is welcome to hear that the Start Menu will continue to evolve based on user feedback. Windows 10 is certainly launching in a strong place regardless.
