    All apps in start menu doesn't show all apps

    Hi. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and now I can't find many of my apps. For example I have installed word, but I can run it only by finding word file. I can't find word in start menu. Searching also doesn't find it. I have a lot of applications
    with this problem. But Add or Remove Programs shows all my installed programs.

    All apps in start menu doesn't show all apps

    Me three. After the upgrade (From Windows 7) , quite a few of the apps that I have are no longer in the "All Apps" list. They are still installed on my machine, just the shortcut is not in the "All Apps" list

    Quite annoying.

    Not that I'm aware of.

    You might see how the free program Classic Shell may work for this for you though.

    Hi Brink,

    The things I want to remove are the MS Stuff (e.g. Calendar, Groove Music) when you click on the All Apps menu.

    I can't seem to find that.

    I wouldn't recommend removing the MS stuff since they are used as the default apps by Windows by default. It could cause unknown issues.

    I don't want to uninstall them, just remove them from the start menu.

    I'm afraid the only way to remove Windows apps (aka: modern apps) from All apps is to uninstall them. You just don't want to uninstall those. *Sad

    OK, no problem.

    They just clutter up the start menu - I will just use a different start menu.
