You can set the start menu to full screen by going to start / settings / personalisation / start and finding the "Use Start full screen" option. There is also a "tablet" layout which works a little mo

While the Start menu is overall a great compromise and should be familiar enough to users of Windows 7 AND Windows 8, I must admit I am disappointed by the same things you've found David. As you menti
