Microsoft is rolling out a redesigned Start menu for Windows 11 with the November 11 Patch Tuesday update. The new design introduces a scrollable interface, adaptive layout, and customizable views. The update aims to improve usability and organization of installed apps, though it may cover a significant portion of the screen on low-resolution displays. The Start menu now offers two UI views: a categorized view and a grid view. The categorized view groups apps by type and moves frequently used apps to the top. The grid view maintains an A to Z order but with a wider layout for better scanning. The Start menu's layout adapts to screen size, showing more or fewer columns based on the display. Users can remove the Recommended feed by adjusting settings. The new Start menu may cover 60-70% of the screen on low-resolution displays.
