Personalization Change Start Menu "All" page View in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to change the “All” page view in the Start menu for your account in Windows 11.

The Start menu is comprised of three sections: Pinned, Recommended, and All apps page.

In Windows 11 build 22635.4950 (Beta 23H2), Microsoft is introducing two new views to the “All” page in the Start menu: grid and category view. Grid and list view shows your apps in alphabetical order and category view groups all your apps into categories, ordered by usage. This change is gradually rolling out so you may not see it right away. Microsoft plans to begin rolling this out to Windows Insiders who are receiving updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 in the Dev and Beta Channels soon.

If you don't have this feature available in the build above yet and would like to try it now, then you can enable it using the command below with ViVeTool.

vivetool /enable /id:48433719,47205210,49221331


Once enabled using the command above, you will be able to change the "All" page view in the Start menu using the method in this tutorial below.


EXAMPLE: "Name list", "Name grid", and "Category" views on All page in the Start menu




Here's How:

1 Open the Start menu .

2 Click/tap on the All button. (see screenshot below)


3 Click/tap on the View drop menu at the top, and click/tap on the Name list (default), Name grid, or Category view you want to use. (see screenshot below)



That's it,
