New toggles — quickly access Phone Link and other utilities straight from Start.

If you use a gamepad or handheld PC, the new on-screen keyboard supports full navigation without a mouse or touchscreen. Logging in from your couch just got easier.

Microsoft has quietly rolled out one of the most user-friendly changes to Windows 11 in months — a redesigned Start menu that finally makes navigation smoother and more intuitive.

Two view modes — choose between grid layout or smart categories like Work, Play, and Tools.

Scrollable app list — no more clicking through “All apps”; everything’s instantly accessible.
