How to Add or Remove Apps from Windows 11 Start Menu
You can add or remove apps from the Windows 11 Start Menu by pinning them for quick access or unpinning them to declutter your view.
The Windows 11 Start Menu is your central hub for launching applications, and customizing it ensures you find your most-used programs instantly.
Pinning an app makes it appear in the “Pinned” section of the Start Menu, while removing it simply takes it out of that personalized list.
For instance, you might want to pin Microsoft Edge (version 114 or later) for immediate access, and unpin less frequently used programs like the Xbox Game Bar.
This process helps you tailor your Start Menu to your specific workflow, saving you valuable time when opening applications on your PC.
