Start button
Initial activation trigger
The Start button is a clickable icon on the Windows taskbar that opens the Start menu, giving access to programs, settings, and system functions.
Since Windows 95, it has been the primary navigation point for the operating system: Click the Start button and select Settings.
The term extends to similar buttons on game controllers and other interfaces that begin or resume action.
