With Windows Blue, aka Windows 8.1, Microsoft is reintroducing a Start button and adding a boot-straight-to-desktop option. Here's how these may work.

Microsoft moved the Start button in Windows 11, but you can move it back with a few clicks.

Could Microsoft phase out the Start button in Windows 12 and replace it with Copilot? Listen to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and it seems like a very real possibility.
