Every Windows 10 Mobile Insider build comes with its own share of new issues. That’s just to be expected with any kind of beta program. Windows 10 Mobile build 10581 is no different, and fortunately an issue with the Start screen getting funky is easy to resolve.

So, no big deal, really. Just swipe down from the top, go to Settings, and get your fix on.
