The Not-So "Secret" Windows 10 Start Menu

Windows 10 Secret Start
Microsoft's hotly anticipated next-generation desktop and tablet operating system was released to the public nearly one month ago, and the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Sure there have been a few speed bumps on the road, but by and large, people love Windows 10 ... mainly because it is not Windows 8.

One of the most talked about new features in Windows 10 is the Start Menu, which is actually an old Windows feature that was sorely missed in Windows 8. But did you know that there’s a special "secret" Start Menu in Windows 10 that you’ve probably never even seen before?

The Start Menu is indeed one of the biggest draws of Microsoft’s new Windows 10 platform. As much attention as it has received, however, there is still a whole other dimension to the Start Menu that many people have no idea exists.

As CNET noted in a recent post, there is a "secret" Start Menu that provides quick access to a range of common functions. And the best part, perhaps, is the fact that it's hiding right under your nose — it doesn't even need to be enabled from within Windows 10's settings in order to be accessed.

So how does it work? Simply right-click on the Windows 10 Start button and then ... that's it? Yep. That is all, folks.

Right-clicking on the Start button opens up a new panel of shortcuts that give users instant access to things like the Event Viewer, Task Manager, Control Panel, File Explorer and more.
