Step one is to change from the default Start Screen to the App View. The first View we'll cover is what we call the 'All Apps' View. The Start screen allows Tiles of varying colors, sizes and icons, and lets us arrange them in 'space.' Also, the most common icon for apps was a 'folder' which made it a bit visually static and customization was limited since they were all just lined up. The result of this was often a Start Menu that spanned multiple rows of 'folders.' Navigating it with the mouse grew more difficult for users as more and more applications are installed. Users typically install many, many applications over the lifecycle of a PC. Once you become accustomed to the changes, we predict you'll find yourself working more efficiently with the visually richer and more scalable 8.1 Start screen. With these tweaks, we'll show you how to set up an experience that is similar in function to the classic Windows 7 Start button/Menu. In this post, Mike Hildebrand and I present you a couple of solutions that should help the traditional mouse and keyboard users (like us) get more comfortable with the Windows 8.1 Operating System UI.įirst, we'll show you how to adjust the Start 'experience' in two different 'flavors' and then we'll discuss how you can deploy/customize Start screen settings across your environment. In Windows 8.1, the Start Button is back – but not the classic Start menu. Of course, in IT, like in everything, change is inevitable and as humans, we're readily adaptable J Over the last year, I have supported dozens of Windows 8 deployments and I've seen firsthand that changes to the Start button/Menu in Windows 8 initially made some users uncomfortable. So this is a very special day for me – it's my first post on AskPFEplat and it's Windows 8.1 GA ( ) I worked in Europe during the launch of Windows 7, and then moved to the US to work on Windows 8 and 8.1. Hi, I'm Joao Botto and I've been focusing on the Windows Client OS for the last four years. First published on TechNet on Oct 17, 2013
