Won the start menu of Win8.1

Many people don't have a cold on Microsoft's new start screen, and try to find some third-party software that will “return the old menu”. In fact, in Win8.1, a few simple steps can also help us find the "start menu", although the form of …… is slightly different!

The secret is the newly added "Apply" view of Win8.1. In fact, this interface has many similarities with the traditional Start menu. The first is to use a small icon design, which saves screen space compared to the normal mode, and also more in line with the operating habits of the mouse and keyboard users. The second is its application grouping function. Although the normal mode also has hidden groups divided by blanks, many people are still more accustomed to the traditional “segmentation” of this separator. Finally, the new view can be sorted by “name”"installation date","frequency of use","category", which is actually the most practical, such as the author would like to set it to “ Arrange by frequency of use. The reason is simple, because it just replaces the “ frequently used program  in the old menu.

Of course, there are a few small details that need to be specifically mentioned. The first is the startup problem, and the function is good and easy to get in and out. The solution is to right-click on the blank space of the taskbar, select “Properties"Open the “Taskbar and Navigation Properties” panel, then check the “Go to ‘Start & rsquo; screen under the “Navigation” tab When the application view is automatically displayed, you can press the start button to directly launch the “apply” view effect.

In addition, if you are used to booting into a traditional desktop like the old-fashioned Windows, you can also check the box under this dialog box. When I log in or close all apps on the screen, go to the desktop instead of ‘start & rsquo;screen", which is basically the same as the Win7 experience.

In addition, in view of the fact that most of the current software is based on traditional design, when we check "When sorting by category, when the desktop application is first listed in the application view", you can let Win8. 1 Give priority to the desktop application, which is actually called the desktop shortcut. Of course, there is also a premise here, that is, the sorting method must be "category".

Win8.1 allows the new version to start the screen automatically "inherit" & desktop; this is actually nothing special, but the benefit is &hellip ;…The switch between the desktop and the "start" is less abrupt, at least visually more harmonious.

In short, after the above processing, the new version starts the screen and the tradition. The menu is not much different in function and actual use, or more like a full-screen version of the old start menu. However, due to different appeal points, this "new menu" does have some shortcomings, such as no "start" folder, does not support drag and drop methods to quickly add shortcuts, etc., but should not have to deal with daily applications. problem. In short, the new version has a new version of the good, the old version has the old version of the wonderful, good and bad, then give it to you to judge!
