Remove / Hide Universal Applications Folder from All Programs

External Link
May 15, 2021 11:26:40 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

When checking "Don't Display This Item", under Configure page, this hides Universal Applications on the right hand Start 10 pane, but not  under All Programs. 

Other threads seem to suggest it should hide both areas.  I've never found this to the be case, over many years of using Start 8 and Start 10.

Am I missing something, or is this not supported... hiding all instances of Universal Apps from Start 10?

Thanks for the otherwise excellent utility!

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Open Start 10 app and check to Don't Display

Hi AzDude - Thanks for your reply.   This is exactly what I've tried, no luck.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

What does the right-click context menu look like for that item?

Hi Sean - Thanks for your reply.

No context menu for Universal Applications, under All Programs.  Other folders and icons show normal context menu, including the various Universal Apps in this folder.

Ahh, was hopeful this might do the trick... no luck.  Full reboot just to make sure.  Thanks - DJ

Quoting B1u3,

When you open the Registry, to this location

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

is the entry there?

And is FlushMetro and FlushMetro2 both = 1?

Rename:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

to:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8.OLD

And import this as a test:

Log off, try again.

That did it!  I am stoked to have that extra folder, which I'll NEVER use - thank you microsoft, finally hidden.   

What a great little program Start 10 is!!  I'll keep your reg handy if I encounter this again in the future.

Thanks much for everyone's help. 

Regards,

Dana
