Does anyone like the new "All apps" pane on the Start Menu? What would you prefer?

    So to sum up, here is what I think would be good the "All apps" functionality:

• Totally remove the existing All apps pane.
• Write two implementations for All apps: A cascading All apps menu (similar to Figure 3), and a horizontal scrolling All apps screen (similar to Figure 4).  This should not require a ton of coding since:
  1. The cascading menu code already exists in Windows 10 as can be seen when adding a folder toolbar to the taskbar.  This code would provide the functionality for the mouse-friendly cascading All apps menu.
     
  2. The existing App apps panel code just needs to be tweaked to support horizontal scrolling and multiple columns to provide the new, touch-friendly All apps screen.
     
• Do one of the following for customization:
  • Add a tri-state option to Settings -> Personalization -> Start: Automatic (based on tablet mode), Always use the menu, Always use the screen.
  • Or, make the "All apps" button on the Start Menu like the buttons in the "Most used" section, which have a ">" tab to open the sub-menu.  Clicking "All apps" would open the screen.  Hovering over "All apps" or clicking the ">" would open the menu.

    If you don't like the All apps pane as it is now, and you would prefer the changes suggested above (even if there are some minor/other adjustments you would like to make), please Like this post.  Otherwise, I'd love to see the reasons why you prefer the existing All apps pane as it is now.

What makes you think MS listens to Insiders?  They couldn't care less about what we think of the interface.

I still prefer the Windows 8 click one and boom all the apps show up ...no hidden programs to have to search thru constantly irritating in Win 10...same goes for the Win 8 Start screen...I've arranged all my favorite apps and programs on one whole page as much as possible...no fuss no searching...and it's just as easy using a mouse...in Windows 10 trying to pin an app/tile to start is like a mouse game with the screen shifting all over...I d know ...is it any better in build 058?

XP would be my second choice.*john

and don't forget how *PIG* *SLOW* the 'all apps' is, even when there are only the 50 pre-loaded ones.

I think it is ok   no problem to navigate and most of my everyday apps are on the task r start menu.  The old  ALL APPS design were faster to find but no case for touch screen.   I cant see any big deal with complaining about this item

I'm all for your idea, if we can get MS to listen. We need choice, not a bizarre patchwork fusion of Menu and Screen elements that doesn't work for the fans of either UI.

I especially like that you acknowledge that the Screen/8.1 All Apps work for some. As long as I could have that on the my desktop and not the cascading version, I'd be able to live with 10.

Alphabetica list is horrible.

it's bad for my carpel tunnel to have to scroll that much.

How to uninstall onedrive?  When I right click and choose 'uninstall' it takes me to control panel / remove program... but which feature/function do I turn off?

I don't have a problem with Alphabetical, but it shouldn't be the only sort option I agree. 8 had multiple ways to sort in the Screen's All Apps, which was one of its strengths I thought. That should be brought to Frankenmenu.

I want the customizability of XP start menu, plus the pretty stuff from WIn7 - most recent/document most used programs.

That's a perfect compromize - for a XP/7 guy.

You win8 start screen guys, well, dunno what to say about that - I got an android phone full of widgets for that.

Seems the only way to fix the Start menu in Windows 10 is this:

Classic Shell XP style..   I prefer the dark menu rather than white. *john
