The problem I had with the Windows 8 full screen start menu was that it was a disorganized cluttered mess of nearly indecipherable navigation that was so aggressively altered of an experience and change from prior versions. I hated having to open applications from it. I still hate the Vista+ version of the start menu as well, because it turned a manageable fan-out of applications I could just edit into sub-categories into a compact vomit of every application in a list, and Windows 10 only improved it by making it more presentable with spacing and abundant size on screen. The one good thing is that I can just tap the Win key and type what I'm looking for and hit enter, which is almost always faster than trying to navigate it via mouse. I just don't care for the pinned tiles, I don't know if it's still a thing, but major updates were loading tons of useless icons and stupid junk I didn't want there and it was always a fight to reclaim it, so I just opted to get rid of it. I want it to just do its job and be a location to open things, not tell me the weather and stock market info.
