Universal apps only on right side quick access menu

I've suddenly noticed on 2.06 of Start 11 that I cannot hide all the non-Universal Apps from the right side quick access Universal Applications menu. Was there a change I missed, or is this broken, no longer exposed in the configuration?

What apps are showing incorrectly?

It should be filtered.

I cannot get it to not show non-Universal apps. There used to be a check box or slider for show Store apps only I thought.

I cannot seem to get snipping tool to grab a screen shot of the menu open.

The more I think about it the more I think I might have had a similar Universal Apps menu problem in the past. But I just don't recall well enough to say yea or nay.

I looked back through my history, and it was a different issue, with an earlier release.

Worst case take a picture with a phone if Windows fails to cooperate.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You can always use "prt sc" button on your keyboard. And paste into a graphics app such as Windows "Paint3D", crop to which ever part you wish and add some arrows to show which area you're referring. Save and upload it here.

Thank you,

Are you sure those are not all considered universal apps (or at least store ones?)

Some of them are store apps, and some of them are not. In addition I cannot find where this is stored. I have remove Start11 (with remove settings both times) and the Universal Apps menu is still there on reboot. I've cleaned register hives (current user) and deleted folders out of the user profiles hive and still the over populated Uni Apps menu always contains both "store apps" and Win32 apps.

I cannot find where the setting is being retained.

Are there settings such as this in other Stardock hives, registry or folders containing settings, stored in other Stardock containers?

Also I have the Start11 beta on two machines and only one has this problem. So I'm reasonable certain this one is anomalous and likely indicative of a state the installer or EXE for Start11 is not anticipating to correct. But it has to be recorded somewhere that I can't yet find since it never goes away.

There used to be a setting, toggle I think, in the Stardock Start program to enable and disable regular Win32-apps but I cannot remember where it was, or the precise name for it now. It was something like "Do not include applications for All Programs list" or something vaguely similar to that.

I also tried the Purge all batch file and that also didn't make any difference.

jClose this line of enquiry, as it appears that primary c ause was things that were either installed from the store or installed as if they were store apps. Thanks for the question in the other thread, Neil, that seems to have been it.
