As Microsoft continues to develop the Windows 10 21H2 feature update, we can use the preview builds to get a glimpse of the upcoming features, changes, and new group policies coming to the operating system this fall. [...]

In addition to new features, Microsoft is also adding new group policies for Windows 10 21H2 that we can see in current preview builds.

Below are the seven currently available Windows 10 21H2 group policies coming this fall.

The new Windows 10 21H2 group policies​

Policy: Show or hide "Most used" list from Start menu
Location:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar

Show or hide Most used list from Start menu

Show or hide Most used list from Start menu

Description: If you enable this policy setting, you can configure Start menu to show or hide the list of user's most used apps, regardless of user settings.
  • Selecting "Show" will force the "Most used" list to be shown, and user cannot change to hide it using the Settings app.
  • Selecting "Hide" will force the "Most used" list to be hidden, and user cannot change to show it using the Settings app.
  • Selecting "Not Configured", or if you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all will allow users to turn on or off the display of "Most used" list using the Settings app. This is default behavior.
Note: configuring this policy to "Show" or "Hide" on supported versions of Windows 10 will supercede any policy setting of "Remove frequent programs list from the Start Menu" (which manages same part of Start menu but with fewer options).
