I'm trying to set up a computer for a public workstation and I'm not really liking what I'm seeing. I've managed to somehow remove just about everything from the All Apps menu, except for these items:
Getting Started
Notepad
Microsoft Store (I managed to get rid of it from the Taskbar!)
Settings
Terminal
Windows Security

I don't want Notepad, nor Terminal uninstalled. I would still like them searchable. I just want the all apps menu completely cleared.
Any ideas?

I've seen it in stores, not actually used it, but have you checked whether Kiosk-mode would work for the purpose?
