When I first saw win10's start menu, I promptly removed the tiles (ads, really) as useless fluff then promptly vowed to do everything I can to never use it.
My desktop is a mess now, but one of my own doing.
(You can imagine what my reaction was when edgy auto-started after an update to tell me the over-engineered Firefox downloader was now "better" than ever. I had to kill the process in order to not see the mandatory new features tour. It did it again after the recent update to make sure I hate it as much as possible.)

The end result is a simple minimal menu for when I need to scroll through the list, although I launch most things from the pinned taskbar icons anyway. That’s a pretty usable setup and no advertising.
