Because it’s not complicated enough already, Windows 10’s Start menu will support folders in a forthcoming release.
The Windows 10 Redstone 2 release, also dubbed the “Creators Update”, will allow apps to be nested, much as with Windows Phone 8, and the mobile edition of Windows 10. The update is expected around April, and aggregates work since the Anniversary Update in early August. Around a dozen builds have been released via the Insider Preview program since the official announcement in October.
The folders appear in an unofficial leaked build (14997) and MS Power User blog has a nice GIF of them in action, here.
The leaked build also showcases new tab behaviour in the Edge browser, and a system wide night mode, which reduces the blue light emitted by the display.
It’s a mystery why Microsoft deemed Start screen folders acceptable for mobile users, but not desktop users.
Windows 10’s current Start menu/screen thing is a complex hybrid of the Windows 8 start screen and the Windows XP/7 menu.
Like the sex organs of the duck, it's an inexplicable evolutionary artefact.
A Thing.
ju8st ran across this site talking about how to supposedly update windows updater to speed it up- he gives links to two KB’s needed in order to speed it up i guess- I haven’t tried it myself- it’s a fairly recent article- last nov i think- so it should still work
OK, I’ve got a new computer with Win 10 and I have no idea what that box of squares is for even tho I see it every time I click on the programs icon.......There’s even a picture in one of the boxes that is from my “pictures” folder that I have no idea how It got there
