On Windows 10, the Start menu has been redesigned and now it features a section with Live Tiles, a list of all your apps, and a left rail that includes by default the power options, quick access to the Settings app, and user profile menu.
However, you’re not limited to those default options in the left rail. In fact, you can add and remove the items (folders) that appear on the Start menu. For example, you can add a quick access to different folders, including Documents, Downloads, File Explorer, Network, and more.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to choose which folders appear on Start on your Windows 10 PC.
