Microsoft is revamping the Start Menu on Windows 11 to streamlining the user interface. It will merge the pinned and recommended sections into a combined section.

Microsoft's new design features a wider layout, which will give users more space to pin their favorite apps to the Start Menu for quick access. It also has an option to display all pinned apps without the need to expand the view, this is a notable improvement from the current setup that requires users to navigate through multiple clicks.
