Add or Remove Common Program Groups from Start Menu in Windows 11
The Start menu is comprised of three sections: Pinned, All apps, and Recommended.
All apps appears when a user clicks on All apps in the upper-right corner of the Start menu 
. All Apps is a comprehensive list of shortcuts, in alphabetical order, of all installed apps. Some of these shortcuts are grouped into folders with the expandable folder in the list.
The Start Menu > All apps list for an account will include items (ex: app shortcuts) from the following locations:
- New Users – This profile includes items from the C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder that only get added for new accounts.
- All Users (common program groups) – This profile includes items from the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder that are shared by all accounts on the PC.
- User – This includes items from the C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder for a specific user.
If you like, you can enable the Remove common program groups from Start Menu policy to remove the All Users (common program groups) shortcuts from the Start menu > All apps list for all or specific users.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the All Users items from the Start Menu > All apps list for specific or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
