I kept on wondering why I hadn't seen any of this, and then remembered that I'd installed Classic Shell start menu, which provides a Windows 7 style menu. It doesn't disable the Windows 10 menu, just hides it. Makes for a much more pleasant experience though. (No affiliation)

Does it still work reliably? I used it on a Windows 10 machine a few years ago, but then it stopped being maintained:

... which is a huge shame, as that single app alone made Windows 10 a significantly less frustrating experience.

It's been replaced by Open Shell which works well: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

There was one windows update around two years ago that broke it, but I just reinstalled it and haven't had any problems since.

It's rock solid for me.
