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.

Important

Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2 with KB5048685, the policy setting behavior changed.

  • If enabled, the corresponding option in Settings can't be configured (grayed out). The policy setting doesn't affect the display of recently installed applications in the Recommended section of the Start menu.
  • If disabled or not configured, the corresponding option in Settings can be configured.
