In Windows 7 or 10, I place a few frequently-used programs on the taskbar.
This can be done by finding the program by means of a search or locating it
within the start menu, then using the Applications key, also known as the
context menu key, to the left of the right-hand control key, or with
shift-F10, and using the context menu that appears to select "pin to
taskbar."
Once a program has been pinned to the taskbar, you can get to the taskbar
with Windows-T, then use left or right arrow keys to select that program,
then the Applications key again to start the program from a recently used
file or song or website. You can also use the taskbar to start a program
(with no parameters) by pressing the Windows key with a number from 1 to 0,
which represents the position of the program along the taskbar.
I can't say that I have Windows 10 all figured out, but with tricks like
these you can get to a lot of functionality very quickly.

Hello guys, for those of you who are having a problem grasping the start
menu, would suggest you place a shortcut of the programs you use frequently
on the desktop, or task bar area or what ever it is called in win10.
If you don't want your desktop to be cluttered, you can also create a folder
there and give it a name that will tell you it is programs from the start
menu.
You can also search for the program you are looking for in the start menu in
the search area by typing the first few letters, and arrow down, and when
you hear the one you want, just hit enter, and should open.
Hope this helps for now.

Hi Tony,
I entirely agree with you: I'm struggling with it myself.
As for "selected/unselected", I understand that as you arrow up and down,
although you can hear items in the menu being spoken, they are not
automatically selected as it would have been before. You need to press
enter on an item to select it and only then do you have choices to tab
along. So select an item in the menu, press enter, and now as you press
tab, you will see the sub-items of the item you have selected.
I am still very shaky in the start menu and would appreciate some tips as
well.
