    Your choices are limited. The Start Menu is not very flexible. Want a user friendly start menu? Classic/Open Shell... many recommend and use here - but not all.

    Hello @WTenNewbie,

    If you like, you could use step 4 in Option One of the tutorial below to add a folder that contains your own shortcuts in the All apps list on the Start menu.

    Good idea, thank you @Brink
    Or I add a shortcut to my %userprofile% directory and enable the "Personal Folder" on the very left side of the start menu (the one in your first printscreen in this tutorial)

    That'll also work. It's just a matter of what works best for you.

    MS removed this option in the CU update a year ago.
