Could this be the new Windows 10 Start Menu that lacks Live Tiles?

I have a script that removes all tiles and also removes the function to add anything as a tile. I am as minimalist as it gets when it comes to creating a clean looking windows image. It has to be simple and easy to explain after I setup the image on a users machine. Minimizing the amount of questions that clog my inbox, and also keeping preventative maintenance as a goal are important.
 
Windows 10 start menu is useless because all shortcuts are put at 1 level. it requires users to scroll down and up.
microsoft needs to accept reality that classic windows xp start menu, without windows 7 style of sh*t prediction things, is the best.
You know you can click on the letters and fast navigate to where you want to go right? and you can have folders with stuff in the folder right..
 
I whish they would let me put lice times on my desktop.. kinda like widgets but not like widgets cause they got annoying.. that way I could pin news weather pictures that change etc.. and not windows 8 style either.. just simple add live tile to desktop

Who cares???? Why do you assume anyone cares about your minimalist ideas??? Minimalism as a concept is horrible! It's counter intuitive to labor to buy this complex high-end system, that can do trillions of operations in fractions of a second, only to take away MOST of the complex intricate things it can do. It's like buying a race car to drive to the corner market, two blocks away... I hate minimalism as a concept. I like my computer to look and do complex things. I want to take advantage of alllllllllll of its power and functionality, all the time. I want to get as much information as I want, as quickly as a glance, whenever I'm using it. Minimalism kills all of that, and makes YOU, the end-user work harder to find and/or get more information, instead of allowing the computer to do all the work for you. It's counter-productive.
 
Who cares????

You apparently care. Also, to add to your statement about your "complex high-end system," minimizing the apps running on your system allows that high-end system to free up calculations for other things. Also, can you find your pen on a messy cluttered up desk? Probably, but would it take longer to find it if that desk was cleaned up and organized?

I just want an easy way to set up my system to be as minimal, bloated. ugly, or as beautiful as I want, and I shouldn't have to resort to complicated scripts and procedures in order to do that. I have delved into software remastering years ago with XP and Vista trying to minimize those installs and slip stream only the necessary drivers into the CAB files. I never really dialed that in as well as I would have liked, since I'm not an engineer and was still trying to comprehend the whole process. Today it just seems pointless to try that with Windows 10 and with that I might as well develop my own Linux distribution, which I'm loathe to do at this juncture. I want all the power and the resources pointed at the operations that I'm trying to run and nothing else, and certainly not at Microsoft's brand of spyware. Function over form is my bent. Every TSR, process, and program is just an additional door, access or vector of vulnerability ripe for exploitation, and that would also include security software if those aren't secure enough.

This I get. For the basic end user, I do believe the operating system should be easy to customize but also not have a ton of garbage to rummage around as well. The mass amounts of bloatware that Win10 has on it is annoying to look at. I am basic with the standard Windows apps that I use. (Paint, Photo Viewer, Snipping Tool, and Calculator) That's the basic necessities I feel like.

In a work environment, my machines need to have just the applications that employees need to use. This is the only reason why I have a script engineered to strip these machines of any and all bloatware, including Microsoft Store and Edge.

There is a program that does help with uninstalling the unwanted Windows 10 called 10AppsManager.

 
I have no problem with live tiles as long I can set them up like I want. Real time information like weather, breaking news, sports scores, messaging, and stock ticker info all would be useful in that way. They are the type of data usage I can live with as oppose to advertisements and random things. Let me turn them on or off as I like.
 
honestly. just right click everything and unpin it.
Too much of a hassle thank god we got classicshell and openshell, gone with all that useless crap.
The whole metro garbage will not be missed at all nor will I accept that new garbage.
I will allways find something to get this back as I like it not what some crazy tablet/phone users like.
I hate all this changes I forces me to search at other places to find the most used burried deep in the menus. While in the old win7 like way it was easily accesable.
Its almost if those microshat freaks want experienced users to run away from this monstrosity
 
While I H A T E D Windows 8, and the live tile desktop, the Windows 10 start menu is a perfect blend of old and new. You can roll through the apps on the left if you prefer, can even do it in a snap with the quick launch letters, or you can just hit your most used tiles in the tile section. How can any of that be bad???? I think sometimes some of you just look for crap to ***** about. While I am not a person to give M$ a pass on all the stupid stuff they do, Windows 10 is by far the best OS in computing history. And the start menu works perfectly well as is for MOST of the Windows community around the world. I RARELY see any complaints about it on any of the Windows forums I frequent. It's fast, smooth and efficient.
