Microsoft tests new style: Windows 11 Start menu welcomes grid layout change

Microsoft announced that it has recently conducted a new round of design attempts on the Windows 11 Start menu to provide a more intuitive and efficient user experience. The new design transforms the traditional "All Apps" menu into a grid layout display, which is similar to the previous Windows 10X Start menu style.

In the existing stable version of Windows 11, after users click "All Apps", they will see an alphabetical list of applications. Although this design has certain convenience when organizing and finding applications, Microsoft still hopes to explore more possibilities to meet the increasingly diverse needs of users. Therefore, Microsoft is making the tools to organize and find applications a certain degree of convenience, but Microsoft still hopes to explore more possibilities to meet the increasingly diverse needs of users.

For small-sized responsive grid layout, each application is presented in the form of icons, making the overall appearance more concise and clear. This layout method not only utilizes screen space so that users can browse to more applications at a glance, but also helps users locate the target application more quickly by increasing icon size and enhancing icon recognition.

Although, any design change will inevitably bring some challenges. The newly designed grid layout may cause congestion on the screen when there are a large number of applications, and too many visual elements may also cause some interference to some users' reading. Additionally, for those who are used to using list views, it may take some time to get used to this new way of finding apps. Despite this, Microsoft still decided to try this, obviously having full confidence in the improvement in user experience it can bring.
