This article explains how to change how the ‘All‘ apps are listed on the Start menu in Windows 11.
The Start menu is a central hub for accessing applications, settings, and system features on Windows 11. The Start menu opens when you click the Windows icon on the taskbar or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
The start menu has three sections: Pinned Apps, Recommended, and All Apps.
With Windows 11 build 22635.4950, Microsoft has introduced two new views to the “All” page in the Start menu: grid and category view.
Grid and list view shows your apps alphabetically, and category view groups all your apps into categories, ordered by usage.
To try this experiential feature, use the ViVeTool and enable it with the command below.
vivetool /enable /id:48433719,47205210,49221331
