start menu

[jabo]

When I 1st opened my win 10, my start menu was small and contained Power/Documents and a few others, none from the app side, now it's loaded, I have tried google search w/no results. How do I get back my small start menu again ?

Hello jabo and Welcome to windows10.help.

 

You need to change the settings.

Go to Settings > Personalization > Start

Make sure that you turn Start - Full Screen to Off as well as Show Most Used Apps and Recently Added Apps.

You might like to look HERE also if the tiles dont't suit you?

I was able to hide the tiles, but now the black start box is filled with files/folders until I click the EXPAND on the top left and it changes to a smaller box which has the POWER and just a few others, which is what I prefer when I start or shut down..........is it possible to keep the latter ranther than have to toggle between?????

Can we see a screenshot of your start menu so that we can see what you are talking about?
