How I can remove an Metro Icon?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

how I can remove an Metro App Icon?

I not watch out for it and got the KB976002 update. (This is the update for the browserchoice screen)

With a trick that I found I could deinstall this update.

But the icon for the browserchoice remains on the Metro screen. With a rightclick I can choose only if I want the icon on the Metro start Screen or not. On the "all apps screen I have an icon on the start Screen a big gray tile.

How I can remove this? I tried the registry, but I found 3 different entries, with values that seems to me are the next or previous items, I don't know if it safe to delete this registry entries.

As far as I know - all Apps will show just that All Apps, no matter if you have removed it from Start Screen or not. For me, I really don't care if it is in All Apps (whatever app I remove from start), since I don't look at all apps. :)

    • I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally

    • They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
    • In addition to the "sidebar app list" and "Collections" features, Microsoft will also deprecate the "Drop" feature. Before you publish this news and credit another site, here is the original source: https://x.com/i/status/2067838711870439583 .
