    I was testing RC2 to see if i could make the W11 start menu show with less tiles, but sadly not to be, seems m$ wants to put extra ones on to make a specific number of icons there. :(

    Further poking about with the W11 Start menu , have managed to get it to just two icons 'Settings' and 'File Explorer', if less than 2 it seems to trigger the 'fill with others' method that m$ has decided to use...

    It is still experimental and has only been tested on a Insider W11 build, it should also work on 'RTM' ones. :)

    The Recommended section is blank on first open of the menu but it soon puts icons such as 'Get Started' there later on, but i will see if that can be cleared or at least one icon..

    Not sure if it will work just for the first (Primary) user account or for any new users created later, but it in the right direction.

    The above changes will only happen when the 'Slim Win 11 Start Menu' option is selected for use, it is not forced by default otherwise.

    phew! happy it wasn't a one off result in my test earlier - nice to see the w11 start menu with far less icons , and the two left there are of some real use. :D :D

    I will leave it as two icons as i know it could trigger the m$ response to start adding more icons to fill the menu to at least 7 items if i try to remove another.

    Mrp 146 may be delayed due to a possible medical issue that could result in a few days away from coding, just awaiting confirmation for ct and mri scans.

    I will have my phone with me so i can log in to keep me from being bored.

    Hopefully not, my neurosurgeon suspects the coils fitted in my brain to stop the stroke/hemorrhage i had in 2019 may have compacted and causing a leak of blood, may have to have more fitted. Just hope it not require clipping as that is major work.

    Have had bad headaches and blurred vision recently. Pushed my self a bit too much physically which increased my blood pressure.

    (OP)
    Just got home :)

    Initial CT scan not show a clear image because some issues due to the metal coils and x-rays not like them ,as it just shown a bright white area obscuring the view.

    So the MRI was then done which shown no 'leaks' or serious compacting - phew , but does show a potential new aneurism, but it only small less than 5mm, it will be monitored by more MRI scans over the next few months.

    The initial front right lobe damage has reduced but there still is some 'dead' parts but not as much as the first MRI scan i had in 2019 !!

    Been prescribed Amlodipine to help with blood pressure and to see if that helps the dizziness etc, i cant have Nimodipine because it a class A restricted drug and mainly used just after a stroke/SAH.
