When I right click my Taskbar and select Properties, I have Taskbar, Navigation and Toolbars Tabs, but there is no Start Menu Tab. I can't customize my Start Menu. Isn't there supposed to be a Start Menu Tab?

Thanks
 

I guess the options are somewhat changed Spotted Dog. You can of course increase/decrease it's size, change it's colour and move the icons around but that can all be done without hitting properties.
 

Just wondered, because all the Windows 10 (pre-release) screen shots show a Start Menu Tab. Mine doesn't.

Thanks
 

You mean there isn't a Start menu icon? If you press the Windows key on the keyboard does the start menu appear?
 

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I have a Start Menu Icon. There is no Start Menu Tab on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. On the preview versions of Windows 10, it was there.
 

Oh right sorry.. yes. I guess they changed it?
 

Yeah there are no settings short of reg hacking for the start menu or jump lists.
 

Solution
I have te same issue.
In fact, it is called "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" - but a "Start Menu" tab is missing, hence I cannot adjust my Start Menu settings!
An image from 'No Start Menu Tab'. First image shows Hungarian Windows taskbar settings; second image shows English Windows Start Menu customization.

This is the Hungarian version, but when I called Microsoft Support, the agent said she cannot see it either! There should be 4 tabs ("Tálca" stands for "Taskbar" while "Eszköztárak" for "Toolbars").
Very weird, as the Start Menu (I assume in a highly customisable way) was one of Microsoft's "selling points" for the new op. system, claiming they heard the complaints of users re. the Windows 8/8.1 adventure.
This is what I saw in other "how-to"s. This is how it is supposed to look like:

And this customisation IS apparently missing from the final version of Windows 10!!!
Very strangely the Microsoft agent told me to post this issue on Microsoft forums (which I did now), as they can only support with download / installation issues, but cannot log such issues?
Very weird, indeed.
