1.) The size of the start menu in Windows 11?

You've just been spoiled with the big app tiles in Windows 10, and when you buy a new laptop, Windows 11 surprises you as they've been replaced by a small white square with tiny icons.

Even if the white background isn't entirely ugly, you can't understand it, even though the icons are so small, there isn't enough space to reach all the important apps without scrolling. Also, with the default options, there is no way to increase this square.

There will be a way to change the size and/or appearance according to MS!

The good news is that Microsoft has listened to the Insiders who have been testing Windows 11 and they are now testing new features in the Start menu and so we should get that in an upcoming update to Windows 11. 

Here are links to help you make the Start menu in Windows 11 more pleasant:

2.) Tips on the start menu and the size of the start menu!



In Windows 11, you can no longer manually resize the Start menu like you could in previous versions of Windows. Windows 11 has a fixed Start menu design that cannot be resized. The Start menu is located in the middle of the screen and does not resize by default.



However, the size and arrangement of the Start menu may be changed or updated by Microsoft when future updates for Windows 11 are released. So it's possible that future versions of Windows 11 will offer the ability to adjust the size of the Start menu. It is therefore advisable to keep an eye on official updates and notifications from Microsoft to be aware of such changes.

If you still want to customize the appearance of your Start menu, you can try using third-party apps or skins that may offer more customization options. However, please note that such customizations may potentially affect the stability of your operating system and you should be careful when installing third-party software.


Yes that is correct. In Windows 11, it is not possible to manually change the height or width of the Start menu. You can only change the Start menu to the desired size by dragging it. This is a change from Windows 10, where it was possible to manually change the height and width of the Start menu. The ability to switch the Start menu to full screen mode will be a new feature in Windows 11 in the September 2024 Update.
