In the personalization options in the Settings app, you can remove the Recently Added section within the Windows 10 Start menu. This is how.

Whenever you install a program or add something to the Start menu folder, that application or file shortcut can look in the Recently Added list. By default, the Recently Added section can look at the top of the Start menu. i.e, over the general app list. For example, if you install the Chrome browser, the Google Chrome application can look in the Recently Added list combined with the general application list. Generally, the recently added list will not be more than four or five items long. Because most people need to open the newly installed applications right away, the Recently Added list is quite useful. It eliminates the necessity to look for newly installed applications or their deep buried shortcuts.

Though the Recently Added list is pretty useful in a lot of situations if you wish to better organize the beginning menu, you can completely remove the Recently Added section or list from the Start menu.

Without further ado, allow me to show the steps to fully remove the Recently Added list in the Windows 10 Start menu.

Steps to Remove Recently Added List from Start Menu

You are able to disable the Recently Added list from the Start menu personalization page in the Settings app. Just switch off the "Show recently added apps" and you're simply done. Here're the exact and detailed steps on where to find the choice in the Settings app.

First, open the beginning menu.It can be done by pressing the beginning key on the keyboard.
Click on the Settings icon appearing to the left side of the Start menu.
Click on the "Personalization" option in the Settings app.
Now, select "Start menu" tab in the left panel.
On the right page, switch off "Show recently added apps" option.
Close the Settings app.

That is all. As soon as you switch off the choice, the Recently Added list will be taken off the Start menu. In the future, you will no longer begin to see the newly installed application shortcuts towards the top of the beginning menu's app list. However, you may still access the install applications by trying to find them within the Start menu or by studying the application list in the Start menu.

If you are still seeing the current Apps list, the alterations might not be applied to the Start menu. In those cases, either restart explorer or restart the machine to use the alterations. To restart the machine, right-click on the Start menu and select the "Shut down → Restart" option.

Should you ever wish to enable the Recently Added list, simply stick to the same steps but switch on the "Show recently added apps" option in step 5. When you do that, the list should appear in the Start menu immediately.

That's all.
