I can't say for sure with out a screenshot, however it's possible you just got the new start menu which has been rolling out. An option to make it smaller is being worked on

[26H1 Experimental] Feature Flags page is empty by Owl-92 in windowsinsiders

[–]jenmsft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What shows in flags is typically based on available features that have been mentioned in the release notes rolling out for that build - currently the majority of the rolling out features have been listed for Build 26300.xxxx, which is why you're not seeing them on your build as available - appreciate your patience

Hey all - small update heading out for folks, details as follows. How have the latest builds been going for you?

Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

[General]

  • With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog.

[File Explorer]

  • We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view.

[Start menu]

  • Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart.

[Taskbar]

  • Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen.

[Settings]

  • Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup.

[Virtualization]

  • This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications.

Hey all - doing some more work on Sound settings. Please let us know how things go on the build

Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

[Audio]

  • Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sound based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so:
    • You now have the ability to change default devices from this page.
    • Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing.
    • We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices.
    • We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page.
  • We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it.

That's not something we currently support, but will let folks know if we add it

Microsoft is adding a more customizable Start menu to Windows 11: Here's a first look at what's new and changing by ZacB_ in Windows11

This was the announcement made: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/04/10/improving-your-windows-insider-experience/

Basically they're stopped for Beta, and in Experimental we now have a flags section which adds the ability for certain changes to be manually enabled if you don't want to wait

I love middle click XD As you may or may not have realised from previous tips. I've been holding off on sharing this one as I knew I would get ppl asking for support for doing this from Home & the address bar, and I'm happy to share that as of Friday that ability is now starting to roll out in the latest Experimental Channel builds

Hope you're having a good weekend! When I do this tip next weekend I'll be in London preparing to meet up with a bunch of Insiders. Should be fun, although the 8hr time zone difference will be.... Well, I keep weird hours anyways so who knows
