How many times has Windows tried to kill off the start menu!? I can think of at least three:

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 10's funky live tiles thing (by default).
  • This strange Windows 12 AI junk

Windows 10 didn't have live tiles, that was 8.

Windows 12 is not a product that exists and there are no plans to replace the start button.

You can think of one.

Windows 10 did have tiles at first, but they were corralled into the top of the start menu iirc. And.... Did you not read the article?

Sounds like they didn't try to "kill of the start menu", then.

And… Did you not read the article?

I... Did read the article which is why I know it's just got a clickbait headline and there are no plans to replace the start button. Did... you not read the article?
