Settings app better, File Explorer worse? There is also a small "All apps" button, which is similar to the classic pop-up Start menu of yore, and "Type here to search," which searches across applications, documents, web, settings and more, giving the user a perplexity of results. Plenty of room is given to a "Recommended" panel of doubtful value. The new Start menu has little to customize, though users can still pin apps to a fixed space in its top half, which scrolls when full (a grid of 6 x 3 icons on our system). In Windows 11, Live Tiles, named groups, and resizable panels have been swept away.
The Photo app is an example, which can not only be set large but will also cycle through recently added photos and images. Out of the box, the Windows 10 Start panel is an annoyance, but with a bit of effort can be made into a useful application launcher, with named groups and icons that in some cases come in four sizes: small, medium, wide or large. Microsoft will have optimizing this in mind for its new and recent Surface devices. These include spaced-out icons and new gestures, and possibly a new touch keyboard.
That said, Redmond appears to have a replacement in the form of "new functionality and capability for keyboard attach and detach," as this Microsoft representative notes. Tablet Mode was meant to restore a touch-friendly experience in Windows 10, but never worked right and caused confusion. Although Windows 8 failed to convince users for all sorts of reasons, it was cleverly designed for touch users, more so than any version of Windows before or since (excepting perhaps Windows Phone). Removed features include Quick Status on the lockscreen, S Mode (except in Home edition), Tablet Mode, and the ability to align the taskbar other than to the bottom of the screen. The curious can find the official list of removed and deprecated features here. If the centered Start menu and taskbar icons aren't to your liking, you can shove them to the left, as on Windows 10, in Windows 11's personalization settings. Options for the 'taskbar corner overflow'
