I have also noticed this with other programs. Usually built-in Windows programs. It seems random.

telemetry is just for spying on us
You are obviously unaware of the definition of spying.

a violation of privacy
Sorry @jaclaz, there is no privacy on the internet. Only home alone in your room with the lights out, and the shades drawn.

1) there is NO proof that this happens "anonymously" or "anonymously enough"
2) what is actually sent to MS is NOT adequately, let alone fully, documentedThis falls into the realm of CONSPIRACY THEORIES!

f you are going to write a three word sentance for something most of us think is s**** then please have the decency to explain "why"
OK will do. Telemetry lets MS know anonymously how people use their computers, and directly reports to them any issues e.g. with drivers, 3rd-party software, and bugs with the OS so these problems can be repaired in a (hopefully) timely fashion. In the old days one would need to send error reports via a website or speak with them on the phone. With all of this data coming in to MS it can resolve these issues expediently. Also, by understanding better how people are using their computers MS can better develop features which will allow us to use our computers more productively.

I would just select a handful of testers
How 'bout a handful of testes?
Seriously though, @bigmuscle, you should take all distribution as a complement. If your code sucked no one would share. I think you should THANK @nicely for getting the word out about your work. Remember he is doing this for free, and you don't owe him anything for his promotional efforts.

Also, how can we adequately blame "nicely" if we don't know how long enough the final release was delayed because of his naughty behaviour?
@nicelywas performing a community service.

I customize my install.wim before I install Windows. Then I wrote a program which installs all my other programs for me. Very little to tinker with afterwards. I am in insider program, and everything works surprisingly well. And, yes, I do use the settings app. I find it welcomely refreshing.

Hmmmm, and what about the red, (bolded by me) part?
I simply cannot understand it.

Obviously we are dealing with KBG here.

he simply ignored the statement and distributed my software publicly.
If you look at it from a different perspective @bigmuscle this is what we in the United States call free advertising, and could lead to more donations for you!

A little heavy-handed don't you think @bigmuscle?

If it weren't for the fact that some of my software requires 7 as a minimum, I'd still be running XP!
XP was really good 18 years ago. Kids graduating high school were born then.

first thing we need is your windows build. Right-click the start button, click on Run, type in winver and press OK. Let us know which version you are using. You can post a screen shot. It should say OS Build, then we need THAT number.

It means: "You have to run the wonderful latest Win10", of course!
That is really sad he feels that way.

Is it normal that the program takes up to ten seconds to start?
If yes, what is it doing that it takes so long?
Yes it takes an eternity to start, and I wish I knew what it was doing. I suppose it is starting! LOL

A quick and easy way to uninstall Aeroglass would be to open Task Scheduler. Delete the Aeroglass task, then restart your computer. Now you can remove the whole Aeroglass folder from your C drive, and you are done.

Seriously though, 
Is there a program to automatically keep the start menu organised?
in StartIsBack+
Posted
I use StartisBack++ to skin my taskbar, but not to skin the Start Menu as I really like the Windows 10 start menu. This is what I do to organize it. I organize it just the way I want, and follow these directions. This may be a starting point for you.
