Microsoft is preparing another significant redesign for the Windows 11 Start menu, aiming to address user feedback regarding its size and layout. This update, expected with the Windows 11 26H2 release in October, will introduce greater customization.
Key changes include the ability to resize the Start menu, offering both a larger view for more pinned apps and a compact small mode. Users will gain toggles to hide elements such as the pinned apps section, the apps list, and recommended content, alongside options to conceal account details.
Beyond visual tweaks, the revamped Start menu will feature performance improvements. A new Low Latency Profile aims to boost CPU responsiveness for repetitive tasks, complemented by a rebuild of the Start menu using native WinUI technology for enhanced efficiency.
