Even though the Windows 10 Start menu looks much different than the Windows 11 Start menu, you can use the same method of navigation as we\u2019re going to show in this tip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">OK. Let\u2019s say you want to navigate to Windows Tools in the Windows 11 Start menu but don\u2019t see it in the main menu, which is probably already crowded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So you click on the Start button and scroll from the programs\/apps that begin with A to the ones that start with W (for Windows tools). Well, yes you can scroll from the A\u2019s to the down to W\u2019s or do it the quick &amp; easy way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">1&gt; Click the Start button<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">2&gt; Click \u201cAll apps\u201d in the top-right corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">3&gt; Click on the letter \u201cA\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">4&gt; Click on the letter \u201cW\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">5&gt; Click on \u201cWindows tools\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Here\u2019s an animation for you. You\u2019ll see how quickly you can go from the programs and apps that begin with a number or the letter \u201cA\u201d to the programs and apps that begin with the letter \u201cW\u201d or \u201cX\u201d \u201cY\u201d, \u201cZ\u201d or any letter in between. You can do this anytime you would otherwise have to scroll down the Start menu to find a program or app. It\u2019s a lot quicker than scrolling.

If you like typing, you can quickly get to most programs or apps anywhere on the Start menu by typing its name in the taskbar search. But I\u2019d rather get to a program or app without typing \u2013 because I\u2019m lazy. Life is complicated enough so I try to keep as many things as I can as simple as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Navigating the Windows Start Menu from A to Z Quickly &amp; Easily This tip is for Windows 11, but if you\u2019re using Windows 10, don\u2019t worry.
