How to Hide the Most Used Apps in Windows 10

Windows 10 has a variety of options, and some of them are turned on by default. That’s the case with the apps you use the most. Fortunately, you can make changes here and disable the option. In the Start menu, these apps are located at the top. However, if you find this annoying and want to hide it, follow the steps below:

  • Click on the Start button
  • Next, click on the gear icon located on the left side
  • When the Settings menu shows up, click on Personalization
  • Next, click on Start
  • Find the option “Show most used apps.”
  • You will see that the option is enabled by default
  • To turn it off, click on the switch

Voila! The option is disabled. If you click on the Start button, you will see that the most used apps won’t be visible at the top of the list of apps. You can always turn the option on again by following the same steps and clicking on the switch “Show most used apps.”
