How to Add-Remove Most Used Apps on Start Menu in Windows 10

Windows 10 comes up with a feature which stores all the apps which we used most often and shows them in the start menu so every time we do not need to open the start menu and searching for it manually. Just with the addition of this feature there comes customization which allows the end users to change/edit the most recent apps according to the need.

After preview build 14328 for windows 10 was released all “Most used” apps list and “All apps” list have been merged into a single view and they have been brought to the top so that end users can find out the apps easily and in result in it reduced the clicking and scrolling.

Let’s begin with the process through which everyone can add or remove the most used apps from their start menu. Kindly note that most used apps can show only up to 6 apps.
