Hi everyone,

I just notice that that my Window 11 Start Menu did not work the same way as other. Anyone know how to fix it?

1. I cannot create folder in start menu by drag and drop pinned icon
2. In Setting > Personalize > Start, there is no option for me to choose start menu layout. Below picture is what it should be, buy my is starting with "Show recently added apps"

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

garlin is correct. Both those features are new for version 22H2 (22621). You need to get the 22H2 upgrade.

Like previous feature updates for Windows 10, the rollout of Windows 11 version 22H2 is a phased rollout. Not everyone would be offered it immediately. Microsoft usually aim to complete the rollout of a new feature update within 6 months. 22H2 was released at the end of September 2022, so that means by April 2023. From the 'How to get 22H2' link I gave earlier:

Our launch approach to Windows 11 leverages our well-established update systems and processes. The measured and phased rollout will offer the update via Windows Update when data shows that your device is ready, as our objective is to provide a quality update experience. We will initially ramp up the offering availability in the first weeks as we monitor quality signals. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we may put a safeguard hold in place and not offer the update until that issue is resolved. To learn more about the status of the Windows 11 rollout, safeguard holds and which holds may be applied to your device, visit Windows release health.

It is recommended that you wait until 22H2 is offered in Windows Update, this would mean that there are no known issues for your PC that might interfere with the upgrade. However there are several other ways you could upgrade before that. If you use one of them it is recommended that you first make a system image of your PC with something like Macrium Reflect Free so that you can restore it and go back to your current Windows should anything go wrong.

You could download the 22H2 ISO from Microsoft and use that to upgrade in the same way you'd upgrade from 10 to 11.
