I thought it was just Windows

You're experiencing a frustrating issue with the Windows 11 Start Menu layout, which has changed from a 3-column to a 2-column display, disrupting your muscle memory and workflow. This layout change has made it difficult for you to access your frequently used apps quickly and efficiently, as you're forced to relearn the new layout and navigate through it.

    The layout change might be the result of a recent Windows update. You can try checking the update history to see if there were any updates that might have caused this change.

    • Open the Start Menu and right-click on tiles or apps you want to organize.
    • Choose "Resize" to adjust tile sizes or "Unpin from Start" to remove unnecessary apps.
    • Drag and drop tiles to rearrange their order for quicker access.
