Microsoft still has time to fix this hideous Start menu "update"

Windows 11 Start menu.

What you need to know

  • Microsoft is working on a category view within the Windows 11 Start menu.
  • The view groups apps in a way similar to what's seen on smartphones running iOS or Android.
  • The new feature has not been announced by Microsoft and requires a third-party tool to enable it, so you can expect some bugs if you do try it.
  • Once the new feature rolls out, it appears that you'll be able to toggle between Alphabetical, Grid, and Category views within the Start menu.
