    Group Policy and the Apps List


    I am working on a Windows 2012 R2 server that is the DC for my network. The employees all use Windows 10 machines governed by Group Policy. We restrict what they see in their Start Menu as well as what is in their apps list. We updated a few computers to see how they would be affected, and while the Start Menu portion is showing the correct programs, the apps list next to that is now showing quite a few things that we don't want them to see. We have an .xml file on the server that determines what the start menu looks like, but that .xml file doesn't affect the apps list.


    My question is this: How do I hide these new apps that are now in their apps list? I have scoured the internet for this answer and can find nothing. The only thing I can find is how to hide the apps list completely which I do not want to do.


    Any suggestions?

    :)

    GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

    You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

    • Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
    • Press Windows + R to open Run.
    • Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

    After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.
