    Makes sense on ultrawides.

    Also, a start menu that opens in the centre is technically the best. It’s in the most prominent part of the screen, and your mouse typically isn’t far from there.

    The start button is harder to hit than simply flinging it into the corner though, definitely.

    If you’re the kind of person who opens the start menu with the Windows key, a centre start menu is only an upgrade IMO.

      Makes sense on ultrawides.

      In which case, the question becomes: what percentage of users are actually using ultrawides? If it isn’t >50%, then the default should be the setting most appropriate to non-ultrawides. Unless you’re going to autodetect screen resolution and set the button’s location appropriately.

      This is not rocket science, but Windows has been blowing it for quite some time now.
