Microsoft is working on an update for Windows 11 that will change the Start menu and make it more useful. This was reported by XDA-Developers.
X user PhantomOfEarth shared a screenshot demonstrating the new feature. As you can see from the picture, in Windows 11 beta build 22635.3930, the Start menu can automatically group programs into different categories.
It looks like another Start menu > All apps view option is coming soon: Category view. Present in build 22635.3930, with some not yet functional categories.

Also, you'll be able to switch between the existing alphabetical and new grid/category views using a dropdown menu. https://t.co/qFtcTm4BnB pic.twitter.com/ABtXZJ2Irl
The system will be able to automatically sort programs into categories such as music, news, navigation, moms, and others. It will also be possible to return to displaying programs in alphabetical order, as it is now.
It is not yet known when the new feature will be available in the stable build of the operating system, but now the feature can be forcedly enabled using ViveTool.
