Windows 11’s rumored Start menu redesign could mean it eats up a huge chunk of desktop space for some users – although it can be tamed

Microsoft is considering a redesign for the Windows 11 Start menu, potentially making it wider and condensing the layout.
The redesign includes a Phone Link side panel that displays details about connected Android smartphones.
The Start menu redesign with the side panel can cover up to 75% of the desktop.
A button allows users to hide or show the companion panel, providing flexibility in managing the Start menu layout.
Despite the potential screen coverage by the redesign, users can disable the Phone Link panel if it interferes with their desktop experience.
The redesign evokes Windows 8 full-screen Start menu memories, but users have the option to customize and control the layout.
The changes to the Start menu are not yet in testing but seem polished, offering users more control over their Windows 11 experience.
