I would like to be able to open the start menu and then open several apps at the same time without the start menu closing after each click on an app. Is there a way to do this?
Apparently on previous Windows's you could just hold shift while clicking the program and the start menu would stay open. But that doesn't seem to work on Windows 10.

2Just tested this and confirmed that is does work. If you used the Win key to open the Start Menu you have to release it before the menu will open, but then pressing the key again and holding it you can click to open multiple applications. – music2myear – 2019-03-14T19:21:19.350
Awesome! I wonder when this was added. – Andrew – 2019-03-15T12:58:50.470
1"Apparently on previous Windows's you could just hold shift while clicking the program and the start menu would stay open." - You actually confirm this because it does not work on any of my virtual machines running versions prior to Windows 8. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 don't have the traditional start menu so I didn't try those. – Ramhound – 2015-11-03T15:17:56.080

if there's a way to do this in Win 10, I'd also love to know
