![]() I often talk to customers about adoption of modernisation and our discussions will regularly lead to a misconception that all users are thick, and do not want to change from the day to day of what they do. Furthermore, once you adapt to the modern start menu, and configure it appropriately for roaming and customisation, its actually quite efficient. Admins have typically fallen back to solutions such as classic shell to reskin the Start Menu and make it legacy again, which whilst acceptable, doesn’t lend well to future upgrades and changes that may be implemented. This can pose a large acceptance challenge to the end user base when moving from legacy Operating Systems.

Learning to accept, manipulate, alter and manage the Windows 10 / Windows Server 2016 Start Menu is one of an EUC admins biggest challenges, not just in the technology side of things, but in user acceptance also. The Windows 10 Modern Start Menu has introduced a range of challenges and frustrations for end users and admins alike, particularly within environments that operated for long periods with a typical Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 redirected Start Menu, a technique which no longer lends itself well to the new modern Start Menu.
