Windows 11 tutorials, tricks, tips, and guides.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the All apps button and page from the Start menu for all or specific users 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.
Removing the All Apps list can be handy if you prefer to only see pinned apps on Start instead.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.4391, “All apps” is now just “All” on the Start menu. This change began rolling out with Build 22635.4291.

This tutorial will show you how to calibrate a HDR display using the Windows HDR Calibration app for your account in Windows 11.
