Personalization Change Start Menu "All" page View in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to change the “All” page view in the Start menu for your account in Windows 11.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26200.5641 (Dev 24H2) and build 26120.4250 (Beta 24H2), Microsoft is making it easier for you to launch your apps with our updated, scrollable Start menu. With “All” now on the top-level, apps are easily accessible without having to navigate to a secondary page. In addition, we’re introducing two new views to browse and launch your installed apps in the “All” section: category and grid view. The new default Category view automatically groups your apps by category for quick access to your most used categories and apps. So, if your most used apps are Outlook and Solitaire, you can expect those apps to bubble up to the top in their respective categories. Categories are formed when there are at least 3 apps in each respective category. Otherwise, they will remain in the “Other” category. Grid view is ordered alphabetically like List view but allows for better scanning of all your installed apps with more horizontal real estate. With new view options to choose from in the “All” section, we’ll remember your last used view so you can reliably launch your apps with the view you prefer most.

If you don't have this feature available in the builds above yet and would like to try it now, then you can enable it using the command below with ViVeTool.

vivetool /enable /id:47205210,49221331,49381526,49402389,49820095,55495322

(if these don't work, 48433719 needs to be manually enabled too.)


Once enabled using the command above, you will be able to change the "All" page view in the Start menu using the method in this tutorial below.
