It seems that after years of complaining about Windows 11's Start Menu (with most of those complaints coming from me), Microsoft is finally planning to give it the attention it deserves.

We already know that the tech giant plans to fix the Start Menu's sometimes weird search results, but it seems the company isn't done yet. A recent report claims that the Redmond-based tech giant will add a ton of customization options to the Start Menu, allowing you to make it truly yours.

Microsoft is allegedly bringing new customization features to the Start Menu

I really hope this rumor is true

As reported by Windows Central, which cites "sources familiar with the plans," Microsoft is bringing out the big guns for the Start Menu. To start, the sources claim that Microsoft will let you select between large and small Start Menu layouts. Right now, Windows 11 automatically picks the size it thinks you'll like most, and there's no way to change it, so this is a welcome tweak.

The changes will also finally let you change the sections within the Start Menu. Anyone who uses Windows 11 and dislikes some sections of the Start Menu will know the pain of removing every app from that area, only for Windows 11 to keep it around with no option to remove it entirely. If this report is accurate, you'll be able to remove sections like the Recommended portion with a few clicks.

Finally, the report claims that Microsoft wants to make the Start Menu "much faster and responsive." This includes when the computer is under heavy stress, so you'll always have quick, easy access to the Start Menu, even when your PC is doing some heavy lifting.

There's no timeframe for when the upgraded Start Menu options will be released, and given that this rumor is based on a report from insider sources, it's wise to take it with a grain of salt.
