Why Would Someone Disable Start Menu Apps List In Windows 10?

The start menu comes packed with many applications installed in the Windows 10 operating system. For many users, this app list is the only way they can get access to any application installed on the operating system, or so they think. With the implementation of excellent search functionality on the start menu, having an apps list is no longer a necessity in the Windows 10 operating system! Many users can simply use the start menu search function to locate the apps they want to launch.

How does one use the start menu search to locate applications instead of the apps list? This part is pretty simple. After the user clicks on the start menu, they simply start typing the name of the application. Windows will automagically start giving results to the user. Within a few characters, Windows nearly always gives the application (or even the Windows setting) the user is looking for.

Can The Start Menu Apps List Be Reenabled In Windows 10?
