How to Open Multiple apps at once without closing the Windows 10 start menu :
Usually when I login to my work, I have to open around 7 to 9 applications / programs from start menu. Instead of adding my everyday apps (work related) to my taskbar, I pinned them to start menu, so as to keep my taskbar clean. Being a software engineer & blogger, I felt stupid to open start menu everytime to start all my work apps before logging in. That’s when I started looking for a solution & found this really tiny & helpful feature.
We have a very small, but really handy feature available in Windows 10 for this scenario. When you want to open multiple programs without closing the start menu, follow the below steps :
- Open start menu.
- After that, press & hold “START” button on your keyboard.
- Use your mouse / laptop track-pad & click on all the apps you want to open. These apps will be opened in the background.
- Once done, you can release the “START” button on your keyboard.
All those applications / programs will be opened in background & starts to run.
This is a really useful feature that helps you keep start menu open when opening multiple apps in Windows. Now that you know this feature, you can clear all those unwanted apps from your taskbar.
