Exciting Update in the Start Menu! Let’s discuss the Start Menu Upgrade in the Moment 5 Update. As part of the recent Moment 5 update, the Start Menu received a significant enhancement, the ability to group multiple recently added apps within the Recommended section.
This is the critical update that groups recently added apps within the Recommended section. This enhancement aims to simplify the Start Menu interface by organizing recently installed applications into a single, easily accessible folder.
By consolidating these apps, users can navigate the Start Menu more efficiently without using the interface with individual app titles. This update reflects Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and productivity within the Windows operating system.
This post guides you through understanding the new feature called “Grouping Recently Added Apps” in the Recommended section of the Start Menu. Instead of showing each recently added app separately, they are now grouped in one folder. This makes it easier to find and manage your recently installed apps.

In Moment 5, some updates to the Start menu make it even more convenient to use. One of the changes is that if you have added multiple apps recently, they will now be grouped into a folder within the Recommended section.
Organizing recently added applications within the recommended section of the start menu enhances user accessibility and efficiency. By grouping these newly installed apps, users can quickly locate and access them without navigating through multiple sections or menus.
If you click on the folder, you will see the complete list of apps, their names and when they were added. Here, you see 3 apps – TickTok, iTunes, and Scan. These are the ones that you have recently installed on your computer. It is a handy way to find them quickly without searching around.
