How to fix the Most Used List in Windows 10

The Windows 10 Creators Update was first rolled out in April 2017. However, some Windows users have found the Show most used apps option grayed out after the update.

This is because of the new Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results setting introduced in the Creators Update. You can fix the Most used list by switching that option on as follows.

  • Press the Win key + I hotkey to open the Settings app.

  • Then, select Privacy to open the General options below. The updated Windows will include a Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search result setting there.

  • Switch the Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search result setting on. Now you can also select the Show most used apps option, which is no longer grayed out.

The Most used list is certainly a convenient part of the Start menu. The Show more used app option is just one of the Start menu’s numerous customization settings.

You can also customize the Start menu’s color scheme, transparency and Live Tiles.
