    How to add apps to the most used apps list on the startup menu in Windows 10?

    There are 6 apps listed as most used. How do I add more? I'd like to have about 10 or 12.

    How to add apps to the most used apps list on the startup menu in Windows 10?

    Hi Jessie,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you would like to increase the number of apps listed under Most used app in the start menu in Windows 10. I will be glad to assist you.

    I would like to inform you that you cannot increase the number of apps situated under the Most used apps. The maximum number of apps which it can show at a time is 6. The number of apps you go on using recently, it will be shown
    rotation by rotation in the most used apps but at a time it can show you only 6 most recent apps that you have used.

    Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    Is it possible to add apps to "Most Used" in the Start menu?

    It's not possible, sorry.
    Even on a third party start menu replacement, there won't be an option to add to the 'Most Used' folder.
    The task bar really is the best place for your most popular/used programs.
