Windows 8 start screen, making scrolling position stick

start-screenwindows 8

One thing I hated the most about Windows 8 is that I have to scroll the Start Screen to the right each time I press Win to start a program.

Often times I try to launch 2 or 3 apps together, and they are all in the same position. I have to scroll to right each time to find them. Is there a setting that could make scrolling position stick?

Best Answer

There is no option to change the default scroll location of the Start screen. It will always start at a "home position" which is the leftmost side of the screen.

You can always move the items you use the most frequently into a group and place that group closer to the left hand side to eliminate scrolling.

In response to the Quick Launch, you can still pin items to the task bar on the legacy Windows screen.
