Windows 11 New Start Menu – Here are the cons

Though the new design of the Start menu comes with many different features, it lacks several flexibilities and the features that were present in the classic Start menu. Following are the cons associated with the Windows 11 New Start Menu:

1. The biggest change that most of the Windows users are not appreciating is the lack of the Live tile appearance of the Start menu. The good thing is that with the editing in the registry, it is possible to bring back the classic Live tile Start menu in Windows 11 as well. But editing in Registry Editor can be risky for the system in the case when you are not so friendly with the technology. A single mistake while editing in the registry can corrupt the entire system.    

2. If you love using the Start menu in the full-screen, this Start menu design is not your thing as this option is no more available in the latest Start menu design. The latest upcoming Windows 11 does not allow the users to resize the Start Menu. 

3. And, the most annoying thing in this latest Start Menu is the advertisements. The new Start Menu comes with many advertisements that will appear in the Pinned section. Though these ads are not installed in the system, they will confuse the user and make it difficult for them to distinguish between the ads and the installed apps. This will end up in the installation of the new app that you are not in the use of.

So these are some cons with the new Start menu design In Windows 11 that might irritate the users.
