Windows 10: Editing Start Menu

This is as clean as I can make both menus:







Can't hide, cut, remove or uninstall anything else!

 

Edwin, did you delete any of the shortcuts in "Open File Location"?

 

No, for now I just 'hid' them all.
Still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

 

It's all a little 'twisted' but here's what I've found so far, (and it may mess up some things!):

- the modern container apps, (default ones), that you can't uninstall, you can't do anything about them.
- the immersive system apps, you can't do much with them either, and if you do, it starts to mess things up.
- the Documents and Pictures shortcuts, (1), you can delete if you wish.
- user installed program folders, (2), you can hide or cut and move them somewhere else.
- Windows System folders, (3), you can't move but you can hide them.

 

Edwin... if you create a new folder does it show in your actual "all apps" menu?

 

Nope!

 

Ok... same here. I guess the folder where the actual changes take place is somewhere else. I poked around a bit but couldn't find it. There's one in your user profile... I think it was appdata>roaming>microsoft>windows>start menu, but this isn't the right one. Not really sure what that one is for.
