Settings > Personalization > Start > "Show recently added apps" is disabled/grayed-out and in the "Off" position.

I use "Recently added apps" just after I install a new app in order to drag the app onto my desktop to create a shortcut icon.

I've looked at settings in the Local Group Policy Editor and I cannot see anything that would cause this, but I am no expert on this.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Local Group Policy was OK, the Registry was not. I fixed that. Thank you.
