Yes, Windows 10 offers various ways to customize the start menu.
The most basic way to customize the Start menu is by resizing its width and height, as well as reordering its tiles. To do this, simply click and drag the edges of the Start menu to make it larger or smaller. To reorganize tiles, simply click on a tile, hold down your mouse, and drag it to the desired location. Additionally, you can right-click on any tile or application to pin or unpin it, move it to different groups and create new groups, resize the tile, turn live tile options off or on, and uninstall an app.
You can also personalize many other aspects of the Start menu. To customize the look and feel of it, open the Personalization settings in the Windows 10 Settings app and click on the “Colors” tab. Here, you can choose a custom color for the Start menu, windows, and taskbar. You can even choose one of the many accent colors that come with Windows 10.

Next, you can customize the shortcuts that appear in the Start menu by going to the Start Menu & Taskbar settings page. Here, you can switch between the classic Start menu and the full Start menu. You can also choose which shortcuts are shown in the Recent, Most Used, and All Apps categories by clicking the “+” icon next to each heading. Additionally, you can hide or show the power, search, and settings buttons in the Start menu.
Finally, you have the ability to customize the Start menu’s layout by opening the Layout folder in File Explorer.
