Windows 10: Start menu folder for a better overview

Creating new folders in the Windows 10 Start menu is very simple: left-click on an app and keep the button pressed. Now drag the selected application to another one that should be in the same folder and release the mouse button. This will automatically create a new folder.

• Open the folder by clicking on it with the left mouse button.
• If you would like to add more apps to the folder, simply drag them to the desired folder.
• To remove an app from a folder, simply drag it back to the start menu.
• You can change the size of the folder as well as the size of tiles: right-click on the folder. Then select "Resize" and finally the format you want.
