    Add or Remove Items for All Apps in Start menu in Windows 10


    Actually, having the app added twice in All apps can sometimes cause issues. It's best to only have one instance of it.

    They are not added twice, it's a matter of reading carefully what has been written. They are displayed twice.
    And this whole thread is of no use to those who updated because it simply doesn't work the way it is extensively described in the beginning of this thread. I find it weird to discover the old path (W7/Vista) is neatly moved to the upgraded ProgramData folder but yet is unable to show many items in thet folder. Many, because some do show.

    Anyway. This thread is of no use because it only reflect how it was supposed to work. But it doesn't which makes the link to this thread a false hit.

    I remember this being a bug in Windows 8.1 as well. I added a warning for others in the tutorial.

    WIN10 Start Menu All Apps does not have the same structure as WIN7.

    I updated my computer from WIN7 Ultimate to WIN10 Professional and the WIN10 Start Menu All Apps does not follow the same structure

    I had some WIN 7 Start Menu options like this

    Schneider ElectricSoColabarativeAdvantys
    Unity ProEach of the subfolders have shortcuts in them.

    In WIN10 all of the shortcuts have been grouped under Schneider Electric.

    I have looked in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Start Menu\Programs and the original WIN7 structure is shown there as indicated in the image below.

    Hello Hispa,

    The only way to remove Windows Store apps from All apps is to uninstall them. Be sure not to uninstall any that you want to use.

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 64 bits from Windows 7 64 bits, and I'm in the same boat as all of you.

    My windows 7 start menu have been imported fine into 10. Most of everything was there, don't think I've noticed something missing. However, my all apps list was huge. So without any searching on the net, I looked around my hard drive, and found those two directories mentioned here... in programdata and userdata.

    I have reorganized stuff in those two dirs, I took everything out of individual folders, removed all uninstaller, and kept only the application icons, and moved everything into the start menu/programs folder.

    Windows 10 doesn't see these changes.. my start menu is still the very same as it was right after my windows 7 upgrade.

    It's killing me... can't believe they did something like this. Windows 7 programs menu was intuitive... you could right click on stuff, and access properties, and everything you wanted... you could drag and drop, move stuff around, delete stuff right from the menu.

    I have searched the windows registry, and cannot find anything that looks like the start menu in there...

    Seems the all apps menu is generated from the previous windows 7 menu when you upgrade, and there must be a way to "rebuild" it... scan installed apps, and redo it... get-startapps seems to point in this direction, but I haven't found any switches to this program.

    I have seen in another thread about startisback++, and using it for now. It partially solves my problem, and properly list the programdata and userdata stuff properly. So now my menu is messed up... everything is out of folders, and there is no organization... The idea behind taking stuff out of folders was because the all apps from 10 is grouped by letters.. but in startisback, there is no organization, its all together. And my windows 10 start screen still shows the folder structures I had on windows 7, prior to re-organizing stuff in programdata and userdata.

    Sigh... how could they mess that up... specially when the start menu/screen from release candidate looked much better with customization option in a start menu tab in the taskbar properties.. seems to be gone now. (I havent installed RC, or any preview)

    Anyone figured out something?

    To me, that is the single most annoying feature (well, GUI, anyway) of Windows 10 and may even make me revert to W7. It is even worse when a lot of those subcategories had files with common names like "Help.....". They all wind up under the main category in a "bunch" without direct connection to their primary association.

    Forced updates is at the very top of my list, of course.

    If the mountain won't come to......

    I installed Classic Shell. Take a look at it. I tried to stay "stock" but there are some things that are just plain intolerable.

    I would much rather just keep a shortcut on the desktop since I prefer the aesthetic of W10 and it's only one program. Thanks a lot for the suggestion nonetheless. I hope MS comes around and addresses this issue sometime soon.

    *WinkI started my career with GM when they were actually building cars without taxpayer aid. You know that was long ago. We had a "clean desk rule", inspired by all the IBM-weenies who were the big-guns in computing in those days. (1401s and 7010s ran the world.) Telephone and calendar pad were the only things allowed to be on our desks permanently. Even after 26 years in the wild-and-free aerospace industry I couldn't break the habit.

    Those IBM guys, in their dark blue suits with white shirts and solid dark blue or dark gray ties were scary!

  15. I think that's a good habit to have. It doesn't take that much time or energy to search for whatever it is you're looking for, using the search function. Personally, I use my desktop as the destination of downloads and temporary files, so it's always fairly clean.
