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 left of the Start menu are a small number of buttons, one of which gives you access to your account settings. The button has either a stylized picture of a user, or your account picture. You can click or tap on the button to lock the device, sign out, or change account settings. Other buttons on the left portion of the Start menu give you access to File Explorer, Settings, and power options.

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 the most recent and 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 scroll through the alphabetical list of all of the apps on the device to find the one you want.

TIP

Click a letter heading in the apps list to open a matrix where you can select a specific letter.
