I don't feel that way... asking questions isn't really necessary since it shouldn't be intrusive.
You might consider placing a batch file in your startup folder to terminate explorer.exe and start any desired application after logging in. However, many people wonder why you'd want to disable the Start Menu or use parental controls to restrict certain programs for children.
The Windows 10 Start Menu runs an application named Windows Shell Experience Host (ShellExperienceHost.exe). Terminating it via Task Manager will delete the Start menu, and a batch file can automate this process. Alternatively, you can stop Explorer.exe to remove the shell components like taskbar and file explorer automatically. Be aware that this action also deletes system tray icons (clock, power, network, sound), Cortana, and Action Center. It’s unclear why you’d want this—since the app is suspended it has minimal performance impact. If you prefer a stripped-down system or server environment, simply end Explorer.exe.
