I think this is actually a pretty solid change Microsoft has made once it’s set up to be most effective for desktop users. Hopefully this will appease some of the naysayers. I’ve turned this one on as well.Īnd the resulting “Start menu” looks like this: “List desktop apps first in the Apps view when it’s sorted by category” is pretty handy if you’re really looking to make the Start button work like the old Start menu. If you want to limit searching in the Apps view to just Apps, turn this one off. “Search everywhere instead of just my apps” comes down to preference. This will default the Start screen into the Apps view which is a suitable replacement for the Start menu we used to have. Make sure to turn on “Show the Apps view automatically when I go to Start”. Configure these based on the following recommendations/descriptions: The bottom three checkboxes are where the magic is. In the ‘Taskbar and Navigation Properties’ window, go to the ‘Navigation’ tab. Under 'Taskbar' select 'Taskbar location on screen:' and select a location to place the taskbar. Left click on 'Properties' to open the 'Taskbar and start menu properties' box. Right-click on the taskbar and click Properties. Right click on any empty space on the taskbar. How to properly use the new Start button if you’re a Desktop junkie So, what’s a Desktop junkie to do? I’ll tell you.
These people, myself included, had not used or configured Windows 8.1 in a way that shows off how the new Start button functionality can be even better than the old Start menu for desktop junkies.
Some people, including myself, have said that all they did was add pixels to draw attention to something you could already do in Windows 8.1 (click in the left corner to go to Start). There’s been a lot of debate about whether or not the new Start button in Windows 8.1 is useful or not.
