### Hide most used lists

If you enable this policy setting, you can configure Start menu to show or hide the list of user's most used apps, regardless of user settings:

- Selecting **Show** forces the *Most used* list in the Start menu, and users can't change to hide it using the Settings app
- Selecting **Hide** disables the *Most used* list, and users can't change to show it using the Settings app
- Selecting **Not Configured**, allow users to turn on or off the display of **Most used** list using the Settings app. This is default behavior.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This policy setting has the precedence over the *Remove frequent programs list from the Start Menu* policy setting.
