Removing All Apps List through the Settings App
All apps list in the Start Menu can be removed through the Settings app. There is a toggle option in the Settings app that can enable and disable the apps list. This is the default method for removing all apps list from your system’s Start Menu. However, if this toggle option is grayed out, then check the below methods.
Removing All Apps List through the Local Group Policy Editor
Another way to disable this list of applications in the Start Menu is by using the Local Group Policy Editor. This setting will have three different options that the user can choose from. Each one of them works differently, so choose the one that you want for your system. The information for each option can be found in the details of the setting. However, the Local Group Policy is only available for the Windows Pro, Enterprise, and Ultimate versions. Skip this method, if you are using the Windows Home operating system. Note: The setting is available for both the Computer Configuration and the User Configuration. The path is similar for both, only the category will be different.
Removing All Apps List through the Registry Editor
If you do not have the Local Group Policy Editor on your system, then you can achieve the same result by using the Registry Editor. It just requires a few technical steps from the users for configuring this setting. We always recommend users to create a backup before making any changes in the Registry. By following the below steps, you can easily remove the list of applications from the Start Menu. Note: The value can be set in both the Current Users and the Local Machine hives. The path will be the same, but only the hive will be different.
