Microsoft has finally introduced the redesigned Windows 11 Start Menu. Developed in collaboration with more than 300 Windows 11 'fans', the designer team at Microsoft said they aimed to preserve it's core functionality, which is to quickly help find apps, files and other content. To do so, Microsoft says they followed four guiding stars – 'Apps at a glance', 'Accelerate the Day', 'Honor the Icon' and 'Make it Yours'. This means that the redesigned Start Menu should offer quick access, have customisation options and streamline tasks without affecting the users muscle memory. You can see the redesigned Start Menu in the video below. Microsoft goes on to say that the upcoming redesigned Start Menu makes app discovery easier, offers greater control, useful suggestions and makes it easy to distinguish between mobile and desktop content. The new Start Menu features three 'All Apps' view at the top, which also includes a category based grid that lists frequently used apps. For those who don't like the new layout, Microsoft says users can switch to the familiar A-Z list or a categorised view anytime they want. As for recommendations, the tech giant says the new Start Menu now adapts to the user's real time behaviour and also offers an option to hide suggestions you may not be interested in. It also features quick switches that lets you either show more pinned apps, more recommendations or go with a balanced approach The developers have tested the new Start Menu across a wide range of devices, ranging from the Surface Go to a 49-inch ultrawide monitor. The redesigned Start Menu will be available to Windows Insiders sometime by the end of the month, but there is still no word if and when it will be rolling out to everyone.

John Leguizamo and daughter Allegra to share first on-screen moment in ‘Tin Soldier'
John Leguizamo is about to have a special Hollywood moment—acting alongside his daughter, Allegra Leguizamo, for the first time. The Menu star, 64, revealed in an interview with PEOPLE that the father-daughter duo will share the screen in Tin Soldier, an action film also starring Robert De Niro and Jamie Foxx. 'We did this movie together, and she had to hold a gun to my face,' Leguizamo shared. 'She's never even held a gun before—it was a crazy moment.' The film is set for release in May 2025. Allegra, 25, is the eldest of Leguizamo's two children with his wife, Justine Maurer. The couple, who married in 2003, also share a son, Lucas, 24. Leguizamo reflected on how fatherhood has influenced his career, particularly in his upcoming film Bob Trevino Likes It. 'Having kids changes you forever. It's a gift, but also a lifelong worry,' he explained. 'It helped me tap into the loneliness my character feels in Bob Trevino Likes It.' Outside of acting, Leguizamo and Maurer embrace their blended cultural backgrounds. The actor, who grew up Catholic, shared how their family celebrates both Jewish and Christian traditions, including Passover seders and Hanukkah alongside Easter and Christmas. With Tin Soldier on the horizon, fans will soon see Allegra step into the spotlight alongside her famous father.
