View 3 RepliesI accidentally remove all in the list by clicking "Don't Show in the List" all apps is now not listed to the most used app list. How can i undo it? I try to turn it off and on on the settings "Show most used app list" option but does not undo it. 100%x
Note: The Cmd, VLC Player , Control Panel & Sway are my recent app i used after i do it.
Is there a way to make all apps list instead of groups (0-9, A, B, etc.)?
When wif win7 i created my own folders in all apps menu.
I can place a new folder or custom shortcut in the correct start menu location (current user or all users) but it will not appear in the All apps list. If I go to the folder or shortcut and right-click Pin to Start it will appear as a tile in the start menu, but still will not show up in the All apps list. I think this behavior started with Version 1511 since it was working for me in the previous version.
View 9 RepliesOn my Start Menu, the All Apps doesn't always include the items I want (I solved that problem) but MS added a bunch of garbage/stuff that I do not want. If I want them, I'll add them myself. I don't need all the clutter.
Examples are Java; Get Office; Calculator; Get Skype, etc. Some aren't even installed. I don't need this stress in my life. I'm a simple man that only runs a few programs.
Can I use switch user option on power option list or on start menu list ?
View 3 RepliesSo I upgraded to Windows 10 and so far everything seems to be working fine however the one problem I've had is a problem with the icons for Google Chrome and Origin on the start menu. The Chrome icon is really over sized compared to what it should be and is on a black background and the Origin icon has a black background. I've looked everywhere online and can't find a solution, I don't really want to reinstall Google Chrome, I reinstalled origin and it didn't fix it.
This is what it looks like: [URL]
I want it to look like my sisters does: [URL]
Also even though I've tried updating it, chrome still looks like the windows 7 version than the windows 10.
Mine looks like this: [URL]
It should look like this: [URL]
I wonder if there is a way (through editing system files or registry) to change Windows 10 Start Menu "All apps" to something else like "My Programs". Also where is the icon file located in the system and how to change the default icon.

View 5 RepliesI will never use OneDrive. I did the following which was supposed to uninstall it (I'm running Window 10 and Classic Windows.):
In the Run prompt:
taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe
then
%SystemRoot%SysWOW64OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
I don't know if this worked. However, I still have the OneDrive on my desktop.
How can I remove OneDrive icon (and the Libraries icon) from my desktop? Dragging it to the Recycle Bin does NOT delete it.
I also would like to stop the automatic re-ordering of my desktop icons every time I start the computer, but perhaps this should be a separate topic.
How do a get a program that I use quite often to get on the "Most Used Programs List". I realize that I probably have to use it more for it to appear on the list. But I want to know if I can get it there even though the program is not used as often as the others.
View 2 RepliesThe mostly used list is not showing anything at all. I checked in settings and it is marked to show most recently used.
View 5 RepliesI came across a very annoying problem. In the rush of multitasking I copied a folder that was being deleted at the time and pasted it onto my Desktop. Now I have an empty folder icon on my desktop with no name and I can't do anything with it.
None of the options in the context menu work, pressing Delete doesn't work either. When I list contents of my desktop in CMD using DIR command it doesn't display any directories either, as if the folder wasn't there at all.
So i changed my language from Norwegian to English just to try Cortana, and then i switched back again. But then i noticed that the "Most used" list of apps in the start menu was gone. Any one else who have experienced this? It has been empty for 24 hours now.
View 3 RepliesNot all my applications are found in the Windows 10 All Apps list by the Start button. How can I refresh it, or add new apps and programs to it?
View 9 RepliesStill getting used to the changes from Windows 7.
Why has Paint been removed from my apps list? I have it on my computer but the only way to find it is to search for it.
I simply want it either in my Apps or on my desktop.
After a recent update I'm locked in to the Task Bar menu and cannot access the windows 10 live icon menu. Can't access the apps and Cortana doesn't work. I've tried to change the page by clicking on the windows Icon at the top of the task bar and using the windows button on my key board. Am I missing something?
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to add this kind of Control Panel shortcut (like in screenshot below), with subfolder/subitem list, to windows 10, without installing Classic Shell or similar programs?
View 6 RepliesI'm not sure when this started happening. Might have been after a Windows update and the system reboot. I've been living with it for a couple weeks now.
When I click All apps in the start menu, the list is empty. The apps in the most used list are still populated and when I install a new app, it shows up as a new app. But when I click All apps, it never shows anything. Just an empty menu with a back button.
The apps in the tile portion of the start menu show up fine and I'm able to search for apps to launch them, but I'd like to be able to easily go through all the apps I have installed.
OK. I know how to "go to file location" and some of the other basic tips, but I am still having two issues with the Windows 10 start menu after several hours of searching reading and pulling hair out.
1) A few of my apps (programs I installed, not apps from the store) were originally in folders with no other shortcuts in them, so I decided to remove those folders and put the shortcut at the top level. This leaves me with a Mozilla Firefox shortcut which I want to rename to just "Firefox". I can rename it, but no matter what, it just stats under M in the all apps list. I also have 2 other apps with this problem, but I listed Firefox as an example.
2) When I open the start menu (before entering All Apps), I wonder if there is a way to replace "File Explorer" with "My PC" or some other label. I have already changed the behavior of this button to open the "My Computer" screen I am used to. I just want to change the label if possible.
Is there a shortcut or other way to speed through the list of all apps, say, go directly to W? Or a method to Find an app?
View 2 RepliesI have about Windows 10. Back on Windows 7, under the all programs list I was able to delete anything I didn't want listed there. Unfortunately with Windows 10 I can't remove everything. So I am wondering how can I clean up the "All Apps" list under the start menu?
For example, I want to remove "Calculator", "Calendar" and "Camera" from all apps. When I right click on these items I can only either pin to start bar or task bar.
Is there any way to remove these items so the All apps is a little bit cleaner?
I have passed from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I remember that on the windows 7 i could drag and drop in the start menu
all the programs i use mostly and in the mean time i could sorted the alphabetically.
I would like to have the same on Windows 10 but i cannot sort it out. How you can see in the attached picture,the list is always empty:
The list that shows up when choosing to share something from an app (like an article from news app).
I want to do that because it's long list that has options I would never tap on...
I'm trying to add my own program (AkelPad) to the list of Default programs.I created and applied the reg-file, but the program still is not in the list.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAkelPadCapabilities]"ApplicationDescription"="AkelPad - Text Editor"
"ApplicationIcon"="C:Program FilesAkelPadAkelPad.exe,0""ApplicationName"="AkelPad"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAkelPadCapabilitiesFileAssociations]".txt"="AkelPadText.txt"".ini"
[code]...
How to add my own program that doesn't appear in Default programs list?
I have never needed the ability to lock a few apps before and now I need it. I have looked at a few applications in windows phone 8.1 and they only lock the app from the start screen and we can still access the apps from the apps list?
