Remove "Settings" from the Windows 10 Start Menu

Has anyone been able to remove "Settings" from the Windows 10 Start Menu?

Hi,

Have you tried manually removing it?

Steps:

Click Start followed by Settings

Under Settings choose Personalisation

Under Personalisation, select Start from the Menu on the left hand side

At the bottom should be a blue link saying "Choose Which Folders Appear on Start" > Select this (see below)

Under this menu you should see that Settings is enabled by default, simple disable it

Let me know how you get on

Thanks :)

Yes, but it removes it only from the "sidebar" in Start Menu, not the Application list.

Have you tried using gpedit.msc and configuring it that way?

Under User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar

Here you should be able to configure the settings app and disable it from showing on the pane as well as the application list

Thanks

:)

Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and you should find it there then delete it but save a copy of the shortcut in case you want it back
