• If you don’t use the list of apps, just the tiles, you can
  toggle off the list entirely from the same menu. You
  can even open the Start menu in full-screen mode for
  a ‘Windows 8.1-like’ experience.


• Each of the tiles appears in one of three folders
  (Create, Play, and Explore, by default), which you can
  right-click to rename and move around. Right-clicking
  a tile lets you adjust its size. That’s useful for apps that
  update information, like Mail, Calendar, or News.

If you select ‘Show most used apps’ in the Settings >

Personalization > Start preferences, Windows will group

your most frequently used apps at the top of the stack
