ArticleBody:The Start menu is usually at the heart of everything you do on Windows, giving you easy access to all of your installed applications as well as the files and folders that are on your system. You’ll likely be spending a lot of time looking at and using the Start menu, so it makes sense to get it configured the way that best suits you.

Under Personalization and Start from Settings, for example, just click Default to go back to the default mix of pinned apps and recommended files.
