To prevent the menu from appearing when you click the windows icon in the bottom left corner, you need to adjust your settings. Let me know if you'd like further guidance.

I don't feel that way... asking questions isn't really necessary since it shouldn't be intrusive.

Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your sentence:

Make sure not to click anywhere—this will prevent the start menu from appearing. The information above is accurate, but feel free to share more details if you’d like further assistance.

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.
