Actually the Application part of the Windows 10 is more customizable then the left part. But the left part is also can be customized is some extend. OK let's see how to Customize the Windows 10 Start Menu...


Changing Start Menu Color:

Actually you can't change the colors of any items in the Start Menu. All you can just to change the background color of it and which change the full atmosphere of the Start Menu. To change the Start Menu Color...

  • Go to the Settings from Start Menu.
  • Then click on Personalization.
  • Now in the left panel click on Color.

Here if the Automatically Pick an Accent Color from My Background option is turned On, then Turned it Off to change Start Menu Color of your Choice. Then Scroll Down to the bottom of Accent Colors Box - Here Turn On the Show Color on Start, Taskbar and Action Center option. Now from the Above Select your color and the Start Menu color will be changed according to your Choice :)


Add/Remove or Uninstall App Tiles:

One thing to realize about the tiles is that they can be used for both modern and traditional Windows apps. You can find the Traditional Apps in the Left List panel, click on All Apps to see the full list. To add the Traditional apps to the right panel - Drag a App and Drop in the Right Panel.

Sometime you may don't want an particular App on your Start Menu and want to remove that. And the good news is you can remove any App from the both part of the Start Menu if you want. Just Right click on the App and choose Unpin from Start. The App will be Removed from the Start Menu. If you want to Remove any App permanently, then choose Uninstall.


Turn Live Tile On/ Off:

Live tiles are the most attractive features of Windows 10. But to enjoy the live tiles, you have be connected to the Internet. But These Live times will decrease your Internet Speed. So, if you don't want to lose or decrease your data and data speed then you should Turn of the Windows 10 Live Times. To do so...

To turn off a live tile, you have to click right mouse button over that item > Now choose Turn Live Tile Off. But if you see Turn Live Tile On, that means the item is already turned off.


Resize the Tile Area:

One of the most interesting customizing features of Windows 10 Start Menu is, you can Resize the right-side tile area of it. it's really easy to extend the right-side tile area of your Windows 10 Start menu. Just drag its right border out and in. You can also have the Start menu take up the full screen as like as Windows 8.

If you want then you can also Remove the entire Right Tile Area. To do so you will have to individually remove every tile and then drag the right edge of the panel in. Then the Start Menu will show the traditional basic apps and features only.


Change What Appears:

By Default, the Start menu shows most-used and recently added apps in its top section—things I find quite helpful. But if you want then you can Determine What Should Appear and what not. I mean you can see an empty space in Start Menu in Place of most-used and recently added apps. To do so...


  • Go to the Settings from Start Menu.
  • Then click on Personalization.
  • Now in the left panel click on Start.

Customize Windows 10 Start Menu

Now here Turn Off the first two option Show Most Used Apps and Show Recently Added Apps. You can also pick standard folders you want to appear on the Start menu, including things like Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and so on.


That's it, these are the necessary customization that you can do with the Windows 10 Start Menu. Now that you've got the Start menu looking how you want it. Ohh! it is very long post hope I have not bored you also hope that you have got your ans here. But still if you have any question/ query regarding this post, then don't hesitate to leave it by commenting below. :)
