Why did Microsoft changed the start menu in Windows 11?

The start menu in Windows 10 isn't too bad to use and it had the ability to pin apps as live tiles, giving you live updates such as new email and weather updates.

@bobpony not only that, but I really preferred the full-screen Start that was available in Windows 10 as well. It’s really a huge shame they removed that option with Windows 11; the full-screen Start menu really made it easier to visually scan and locate the app I’m looking for by making full use of the screen and having larger icons.

@bobpony I have seen the full-screen app launchers on both macOS and Ubuntu, and they are both so much more usable than the Start menu in virtually any version of Windows. No need to go hunting and scrolling through tiny lists or menus of apps after apps with tiny icons, these launchers present everything in grids of large icons that’s usually easier to visually scan through.
