Moving app positions freely on start menu?
I like how on the windows 10 you could freely move the apps and group them where you wanted on the start menu (idk if anyone knows what i mean) and they all appeared clearly, no folders or anything, is there any way to do this with third party apps on windows 11?

As for Windows 11, the default start menu doesn’t natively support free dragging and dropping of app icons the way Windows 10 did. The app icons are more grid-based, and grouping is typically done via folders or pinned groups, which are a bit more structured.
That's not "a bit more structured". Taking away structuring options from the user makes it less structured. "Structured" is defined by the user here, not Windows. Pinned Start Menu items are for the user. Windows couldn't care less how the user structures them, unless Windows 11 is so dumbed down that it can't even handle Windows 10 Start Menu structuring anymore, which it is.
