A Microsoft announced significant changes to the Windows 11 Start Menu, introducing a range of customization options that will allow users to adapt the interface to their preferences. Among the main novelties is the possibility of using a more compact mode, which occupies less screen space, addressing one of the most requested features by users since the operating system was released.
Personalização detalhada do Menu Iniciar
According to Microsoft, users will be able to modify several aspects of the Start Menu. It will be possible to remove recommendations, lists of recent apps, and file suggestions. Additionally, users can switch between modes that show everything or display only the "Pinned" and "Recommendations" tabs, offering a more streamlined experience for those who prefer a minimalist interface.
Ocultar perfil e escolha de tamanho
Another interesting option is the ability to hide the name and profile photo in the menu, providing more privacy. Users will also be able to choose between the standard version or a smaller alternative of the Start Menu, which is particularly useful for devices with smaller screens or for those who prefer more screen real estate for other applications.
Acesso às novas configurações
All adjustments will be available in a new customization screen within Windows Settings. This change reflects Microsoft's commitment to making the operating system more flexible and adapted to different usage needs, placing customization options directly in an easily accessible location for all users.
Barra de Tarefas flexível
In addition to Start Menu changes, Microsoft is already testing a feature to position the Task Bar in any of the four corners of the screen. The company highlights that the Start Menu and Task Bar are "some of the most visible and frequently used experiences in Windows," so there is an effort to make access more flexible. This process is part of a series of modifications designed to improve the overall system experience, which also includes new ways to speed up installation and improvements in RAM memory consumption.
Disponibilidade e participação nos testes
The update with the new features is still in testing and has been released in the experimental channel of the operating system. To access it now, users need to participate in the Windows Insider program. Those who prefer to wait for the stable version distribution will need to be patient, as the process can take a few months until the features reach all users through regular system updates.
