Increase the number of 'Most used' applications in Windows 10

How can I increase the number of applications which are displayed under 'Most used' from the default 6 apps?

Solution 1:

It seems that it is not possible as of right now to add more items to the Most Used apps. What you can do is go into settings > personalization > start There you can choose what is shown on the start menu, but the only things you can add that are not there already are folders.

You can use something called classic shell to personalize the start menu http://www.infoworld.com/article/2972763/microsoft-windows/windows-10-start-menus-start10-vs-classic-shell.html

Solution 2:

No such control is currently available; please open the Windows Feedback app in Windows 10 and upvote the suggestions there to add this. There are several suggestions for this already, so no need to add one. The suggestions to increase the number are actually trending as of right now (April 2016).

In the app, navigate to the 'Start and action centre' section and search for 'increase the number of most used apps'. Open Click the 'Upvote' button under the suggestions to add your vote.

Edit: I would gladly add this as a comment, if I had the ability to comment.

Solution 3:

Go into start and move the cursor to the top of the menu. Drag up from the top to increase size and the opposite to decrease size. Size= Number of items.
