How to switch between the Start menu and Start screen in Windows 10
Both are available in the preview of Microsoft's next version of Windows, but you can choose which one to work with.
Microsoft finally revived the Start menu, as seen in the recently-released Technical Preview of Windows 10. But those of you keen on the Start screen can use that instead. How do you switch between the two? Let's take a look.
Your device will determine whether the Start menu or Start screen is the default option in the next version of Windows. On a PC, the Start menu will be turned on by default when you log into Windows 10. On a pure touch-screen device, such as atablet, the Start screen will be the default.
Let's say, the Start menu is the default option on your device. To make the Start screen the default instead, make sure you're at the desktop. Right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and select the command for Properties. At the Taskbar and Start Menu properties window, click the Start Menu tab. Deselect the check box that says: Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen. Click OK.
Windows displays a window called Change Start settings. Click the option to sign out and change settings. Windows signs you out and then brings you back to the Lock screen. Move to the sign-in screen and log in with your Windows account.
Assuming you're deposited at the desktop, simply click the Start button, and you'll be transported to the Start screen with its familiar tiled interface. You can easily return to the desktop by clicking the Desktop tile
If you plan to stick with the Start screen as your base of operations, you may also want to tweak one other setting. Return to the desktop. Right-click the taskbar and select the command for Properties. At the Taskbar and Start Menu properties window, click the Navigation tab.
In the Start screen section, deselect the checkbox that says: When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start. Deselecting that option will ensure that the Start screen is the first thing you see after you log into Windows.
Okay, let's say that the Start screen is the default option on your Windows device and you want to change that to the Start menu. Just do the opposite.
Return to the desktop. Right-click the taskbar and select the command for Properties. At the Taskbar and Start Menu properties window, click the Start menu tab. Select the check box that says: Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen. Click OK.
Again, Windows prompts you to sign out and change settings. Log back into Windows.
You'll now automatically be deposited at the desktop. Click the Start button, and you'll see the new Start menu in Windows 10. You'll also notice that the Start menu is a bit of a hybrid between the old and the new. On the left, the familiar menu column appears with shortcuts to your applications and settings. On the right, a screen full of tiles to Windows apps displays so you can access key Windows apps right from the menu.
After killing the Start menu in Windows 8, Microsoft received complaints from PC users, who yearned for the traditional menu. That move even opened up a large market for third-party Start menu replacements. But tablet users can find the touch-screened based Start screen easier to navigate.
Now with Windows 10, you can have both worlds. Whether you use a PC, a tablet, or a hybrid, you can easily switch between the new Start menu and the now old Start screen.
