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

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.
