One of the features of Windows 10 is that it allows you to customise your start menu so that it has your most used software to hand, and it has a look and layout that you are happy with. Here’s how:

1 – To blend the traditional interface with the Live Tiles – right-click on any tile and select resizing it to alter the tile’s dimensions until you’re happy with it.

2 – If you don’t want live tiles, right-click on each of the defaults in the Start menu and select ‘Uninstall’ to remove them from your system, or ‘Unpin from Start’ if you’d rather hide them than eradicate them.

3 – You can Re-populate them with the desktop software of your choice by right-clicking any app or program and selecting ‘Pin to Start’.
