Windows 11's Start menu redesign is getting a redesign

PCWorld reports Microsoft is planning another Windows 11 Start menu redesign for later this year, addressing criticism about the current menu being too large. The redesigned Start menu will be rebuilt with native WinUI for better performance and responsiveness, including a new Low Latency Profile feature. New customization options include resizing toggles between Large and Small modes and the ability to hide specific sections for a more personalized experience. Microsoft revamped the Windows 11 Start menu design last year, a redesign that's still gradually rolling out to users on versions 24H2 and 25H2. While an evolution on the Start menu is sorely welcome, there's been widespread criticism of its new look and behavior, including the fact that it's simply too big and takes up too much screen space .
