The redesigned Windows 11 Start menu shows pinned apps at the top, recent files in the middle, and then the all apps list at the bottom. So, in the new Start menu, the all apps list appears on the home page of the Start menu, and users do not need to perform multiple clicks to find all installed apps.
Users who always use the search function to find installed apps might want to remove the all apps list from the Start menu. Luckily, the new Windows 11 Start menu supports hiding the all apps list.
One of the best things about the new Start menu is that it’s more customizable than before. In addition to various other things, you can now show or hide the all apps list.
Please note that the Start menu may look half-filled without the all apps list, especially if you are using a large Start menu. However, this may be more noticeable in the small Start menu.
