Microsoft’s New Windows 11 Start Menu Is Finally Worth Exploring

Last Updated: 01.07.2025 11:06

Microsoft has quietly rolled out one of the most user-friendly changes to Windows 11 in months — a redesigned Start menu that finally makes navigation smoother and more intuitive.

Adaptive scaling — large screens get up to 8 columns of pinned apps, small screens get 6, all perfectly responsive.

This isn’t just a visual refresh. It’s a real usability upgrade — something Windows hasn’t delivered in a while. Whether you're working, gaming, or multitasking, this new Start menu feels faster, cleaner, and actually enjoyable to use.

New toggles — quickly access Phone Link and other utilities straight from Start.

If you use a gamepad or handheld PC, the new on-screen keyboard supports full navigation without a mouse or touchscreen. Logging in from your couch just got easier.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
