Microsoft testing new folder logic list of all applications in the Windows 10 Start menu

Posted on

According to Windows Latest reported that in order to help you find applications faster, Microsoft is testing the new folder logic in the list of all applications in the Windows 10 Start menu, which will reduce confusion. In addition, Microsoft is also developing a new feature for the registry editor.

Windows 10 uses a special database or location called “ProgramData” to build the folders in the “All Apps” list and keep the “Start” menu clean, tidy, and orderly. Folders and items in folders are automatically generated using the “folder logic” function of Windows Shell.

Currently, even if the folder contains a single item, a Start menu folder is created. In the next Windows update, Microsoft plans to improve the folder logic so that if a folder contains only one item, the item (application) can be displayed directly.

Currently, the improved folder logic is only available to Windows Insider users in the development channel. This is a small change, but it is also part of Microsoft’s plan to improve the overall experience of the “Start” menu. According to sources, Microsoft is also exploring a new “Start” menu layout with rounded corners instead of the sharp edges currently seen in Windows 10.

In one of the internal concepts, the context menu (right-click menu) of the start menu has rounded corners, and it looks different from the current layout. However, Microsoft has not yet explicitly pushed this improvement in the preview version.

Microsoft is also testing improvements to the search bar and taskbar to make them more modern. The next update of Windows 10 is also expected to make minor improvements to the built-in registry editor.

In the latest preview version, Microsoft has updated the registry editor to support CTRL + Backspace (backspace), so you can delete words at once in the “Find” window or when you rename the key.
