Matsuda Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Earlier today, we got our first look at build 9834 of Windows 9 and in this new video we can see the new Start menu in action. As expected, by adding new tiles to the menu, it will grow in size to accommodate the tiles and brings the Start screen experience to the desktop.Seeing that this build, which was sent to partners, is outside the walls of Redmond, there is a good chance that it may leak in full. Clearly the folks over at Winfuture.de (site is in German) have their hands on it already.From this video, we can see that you can turn off the Start menu if you prefer the Start screen. One thing to keep in mind is that this is still an early build of Windows 9 and many features are still not enabled in this particular build. Before you jump to conclusion that this is what the final product will look like, let us remind you what Windows 8 looked like in its early days.Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonar Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 it doesn't look to bad, if nothing is pinned to the right side does that part of the start menu disapeer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliBean Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Looks like the Start Menu is back with folders under File Explorer even though it shows "Frequent." If not, I'm sure Startisback will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matsuda Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 If you want a Windows 7-style Start menu and have no intention of using Modern apps, Microsoft has good news for you. After removing all of the apps, you get a Start menu that looks a lot like the one from Windows 7. http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-9-leak-shows-how-to-make-the-start-menu-look-like-windows-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDistortions Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 This is what W8 should have been in the first place. I might have liked this change had MS done W8 the way it should have been done to prevent so many users getting upset. I do hope alternative start menus will continue to work though because i am not sure i would like this change from W7 but it's enough to at least download a copy to try it out. Still, i'm not happy with MS and will continue to use Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
