Windows 10: How do I stop "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results" from...

In settings, general, change privacy options, there is one option that keeps turning back on EVERYTIME I turn it off. It is the "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results". Everything else in this "change privacy options" menu stays switched off but that one option always switches back on when I restart.

Turn On or Off App Launch Tracking in Windows 10


I found another person with the same issue below. Did you use any 3rd party programs to disable features in Windows 10?

Turn On or Off App Launch Tracking in Windows 10


Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I have the "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results" option greyed out (..."some settings hidden/managed by your organizaition"). Registry trick doesn't help, Start_TrackProgs is already set to 1. I'd really appreciate any help on this since I couldn't find a fix/workaround.

Hello Augiz, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Usually when the Show most used apps setting is grayed out, you will need to turn on Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results.

You might try to "Pin to Start" the game from within the "All apps" list in the Start menu instead to see if that will only give you one.
