Bringing up the Windows 11 Start Menu is pretty easy; all it takes is press of the Windows key. Alternatively, you can also click the Start Menu icon on the Windows 11 taskbar to also summon the Start Menu. After you press the Windows key, the Start Menu will pop up and you can see your recently added apps, most used apps, and recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer.

In Start Menu settings, you can also add your own folders that you want to appear in the Start Menu. If you want to reach Windows settings directly, you can click the gear icon in the lower right of the Start Menu as shown.
