Microsoft made a drastic change to the Window start menu in Windows 10, prompting an intense backlash against their new user interface from desktop and laptop users. The Start Menu is the is the Windows home page, it’s where apps and services live and it’s the home base of any Windows user’s operations. What this does is to help you know whether to choose or not to prioritise whether you open the Action Center or not, and that’s pretty much a good thing. For instance, an icon of the email app would temperately flash over the Action Centre icon and display over the icon that normally shows. Microsoft’s also changed the notification icon on the taskbar to now indicate which app is offering you a notification as it comes in. If you’re not into it, you can turn this off in the settings like many things on Windows, so it’s not exactly being forced upon you. While the Action Centre is useful as an aggregation of notifications, just like apps on iOS and Windows phone have app badges for at a glance information, so does the Windows taskbar now. Now, on the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, apps can display notifications right on the taskbar, alerting you to which apps need your attention at a glance, the usefulness of this is obvious, should you be using the Chrome to use the internet and watch cat videos on YouTube, then when you get an important message on Messenger or via Email or whatever, you’d notice it straight on the taskbar. Previously in Windows 10, while you could pin apps to the taskbar and receive notifications from those apps, there was no way of viewing app notification counts directly on the pinned apps without opening the Start Menu or Action Center. From there, you can switch apps, toggle Wi-Fi, off and on, view notifications and more. It houses your apps, your documents, and your entry point Action Centre. if you’re a Windows 10 user on a traditional PC or laptop the taskbar is one of the most important parts of the user interface you’ll ever experience. To start with, we’re going with the taskbar. In Windows 10 version 1607, the Start Screen/Menu and taskbar all improved, and we’re taking a look at the improvements here.
The firm has revamped the taskbar to add more features which take advantage of the way users use their devices, as well as expanding the feature set available to universal Windows apps.
Microsoft’s update to Windows 10 coming in this week does more than add a little spice to the start screen.
With every iteration of the Windows operating system, Microsoft has made minor tweaks and improvements that change the way we use the Start Menu and taskbar – even if just subtly. From Windows 10 Mobile, on to Windows 10 Professional, users are encouraged to “start” from the Start menu. The Start Menu/Screen and taskbar are the main entry point of a user into any version of Windows.
