After you log on, you see the Windows 10 desktop. Clicking or tapping the Start menu button in the lower-left corner of the display (at the left of the taskbar) opens the Start menu, shown in Figure 3.3. The Start menu serves much the same function as the Start menu in previous versions of Windows, but it melds the look and feel of the Windows 8 Start screen with the familiar Start menu. Square or rectangular tiles give you quick access to apps, external resources such as OneDrive, folders, and settings.

Figure 3.3 The Windows Start menu.

At the upper left of the Start menu is your user name. You can click or tap on your account name to lock the device, sign out, or change account settings. The left portion of the Start menu gives you access to most used apps, File Explorer, Settings, power options, and access to All Apps (including those not shown on the Start menu).

The right portion of the Start menu contains tiles for various apps, gathered into groups. To open an app from the Start menu, just click or tap its tile. The left side of the Start menu provides quick access to frequently-used apps, and you can open those apps just by clicking or tapping on them. If you don't see the app you need, click or tap All Apps to display an alphabetical list of all of the apps on the device.
