Who likes having your mobile device displayed on the right hand side of the start menu?
I initially turned it off, but I have it back on now.

I leave it on just for quick status. One machine has the large 25H2 start menu so whats a little more space lol. The other two got the small 25H2 start menu so they look about the same size as the original 24H2 menus.

Is 25H2 available for desktops? I hadn't heard.

Everyone on the Dev channel has it or you can enable the 25H2 Start menu with Vivetool. I have them on my beta and RP builds.
