To create a new folder, drag any tile and drop it onto another tile. These folders work much like app folders on a smartphone. You can also group tiles on the Start menu into folders. If all those flashing tiles end up annoying you, just right-click on them, point to “More,” and then choose “Turn live tile off.”Ĭompared to the example above, you can see that the News tile is back to being a regular tile button.įor the most part, we find live tiles a little busy for our tastes, but they can be useful for tiles like Weather or Calendar where it’s nice to have some at-a-glance info.

When you resize horizontally, you can increase the Start menu by one full column of icon groups at a time-up to four columns.

For the most part, you can uninstall any app-except for some built-in apps-by right-clicking them in the Start menu and choosing “Uninstall.” It’s worth noting that the Start menu folder won’t show Universal apps you have installed, so you’ll need to deal with those just using the menu itself. And yes, you can do this by dragging items around individually on (or to) the Start menu, but rearranging via File Explorer is much quicker if you have a bunch of things you want to change. This also gives you the benefit of being able to search for these new shortcuts that you create.

You can easily get to the Start menu’s folder structure on the hard drive to edit, rearrange, or even add new items. Organize, Edit, Delete, or Add New Items to the Apps List
