Title: How to bring back the old resizable Start Menu running Windows 10 build 9926
Post by: javajolt on January 24, 2015, 05:15:30 PM
With the recent arrival of the new Windows 10 January Preview, a number of new features and changes came included. One new change is the Start Menu, which for some has become a pain to use with the new Continuum mode. Luckily, the code for the old-style 9879 Start Menu is still present, meaning it can be re-enabled with one simple registry tweak.

We've compiled a super quick video tutorial for your video pleasure, which we've embedded below. However if you dislike videos, here's our quick written tutorial:

◾​ Right click on the Start Button and select "Run"

◾ Type "regedit"

◾ Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advance

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value, call it "EnableXamlStartMenu"

Restart Explorer

​So that's the written tutorial. If that was too difficult to understand, our video tutorial will show you how it's done.

I did this and it works. Windows 10 9926 is more awesome than 9879.
