About this tag
The feature settings tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about configuring specific Windows features, such as the Start Menu's recent programs list. Users seek ways to permanently remove or block programs from appearing in the Start Menu, even after disabling the feature through settings. The tag focuses on troubleshooting and customizing built-in Windows options to achieve desired behavior, often involving registry edits or group policy adjustments. It is relevant for users who want granular control over Windows interface elements beyond basic toggle switches.
In another post someone asked the question: How to permanently remove/ban programs from the Start Menu Recent List? (Since manually deleting them will only get them back on once the program is started again.) The sole answer gave a suggestion to "switch the feature off". This answer though...
