Windows 10 allows users to make changes in various system departments to get the most out of it and have the best possible experience. We all like different things, and we want to adjust our PCs the way it suits us.

Let’s have the Start menu in Windows 10 as an example. If you don’t like how it looks by default, you can make changes with a few clicks. If you haven’t hidden the list of apps, once you click on the Start button, you will see the apps you recently downloaded at the top of the list. If you don’t need that, you can make adjustments and hide recently added apps.

We will share a quick and easy guide with all the steps required. See how to hide recently added apps in Windows 10.
