Not really a deal breaker, but I would have preferred to have the Start menu retain the view I select. While it is nice to be able to quickly and easily switch between All Apps and Pinned Tiles views, the Start menu will always return to the Pinned Tiles view by default. Figure F The menu displays the new button titles. If you click the hamburger icon at the top left of the Start menu, you'll see a menu showing the new button titles, as shown in Figure F.

Figure E When you click the All Apps button, the Start menu displays the All Apps list. When you click the All Apps button, the Start menu displays the All Apps list, as shown in Figure E. Figure D On the far left of the Start menu, two new buttons allow you to switch between the Pinned Tiles and All Apps views. In the upper left, you'll see two new buttons that allow you to switch between the Pinned Tiles view, which is the default, and the All Apps view. Now, when you then access the Start menu, you'll see that it displays just the tiles, as shown in Figure D. Figure C On the Settings > Start screen, turn off the Show App List In Start Menu toggle. When the Settings > Start screen appears, locate and turn off the Show App List In Start Menu toggle, shown in Figure C. Figure B You can easily access the Settings > Taskbar screen by right-clicking on the Taskbar. When the Settings > Taskbar screen appears, select the Start tab. To access the Show App List In Start Menu feature, you right-click on the Taskbar and select Taskbar Settings, as shown in Figure B.
