Microsoft updates the Windows 11 Start Menu

Microsoft is introducing an updated Windows 11 Start menu featuring enhanced customization options and a new Phone Link panel, with the rollout beginning next month for Windows Insiders alongside several AI-powered tools.
This update follows user frustrations with previous Start Menus and aims to improve access to apps and device connections by adding customization options and a Phone Link panel.
Additional enhancements include AI-powered tools in core utilities like Paint, Snipping Tool, Photos, Notepad, File Explorer, and new AI assistance in Settings and Windows Search.
Microsoft stated, “Recommendations are AI-generated and may be incorrect,” signaling caution with AI features, and noted the upgrade will initially favor Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs before expanding to others.
These combined changes aim to create a more intuitive and accessible Windows 11 experience, although they might not fully satisfy users preferring earlier Start Menu versions.
