The Start Menu has been around since Windows 95. We lost it with Windows 8 and got it back with Windows 10. Apparently, the designer of the original Start Menu (originally called the system menu) doesn’t like the new design. Although, I do wonder if the developers at Microsoft were calling the users morons when they didn’t care much for the Start Screen…
Some very interesting information on how the Start Menu came to be and why.
For instance, one study subject took twenty minutes of staring at a Windows 3.1 desktop before being able to open a text editing program.
