### Hide recently added apps

With this policy setting, you can prevent the Start menu from displaying a list of recently installed applications:

- If **enabled**, the Start menu doesn't display the **Recently added** list. The corresponding option in Settings can't be configured (grayed out)
- If **disabled** or **not configured**, the Start menu displays the **Recently added** list. The corresponding option in Settings can be configured
