is hiding the same as unpin

removing an item from the start menu

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I accidentally added an item to the start menu and wanted to remove it again - but I did not find any delete or unpin (as in win10). The only one close was 'Hide' - is this now used to get rid of an unwanted item?

As I am already asking questions: Whenever I add an icon to the start many, it is added as a medium size.
I thought that the advanced setting "Shortcut icons should be sized - Small" should do this but this does not have an effect - is there something else I could do to avoid having to resize each added item manually?

And lastly: there is this option "Force icons to use more of the tile area when not a custom tile image" - this also does not do anything to tiles like

Especially when I resize this to small, the icon in the middle is REALLY tiny.

Cheers,
Gunter

Is there a push pin with a line thru it next to "Hide?" If so, it could be a translation issue if you are using a different language than English.

This is weird: to check what you suggested I just looked - - - - and it says unpin!! (no, using plain English)

I will keep looking for this condition - maybe that was some kind of special icon that I tried to get rid of - I was in the process of experimenting with all the options.

Cheers,
Gunter

Perhaps this is where you saw the hide reference. If you right click and app in the All Apps list and select More>Hide from apps, this will put this app in the Hidden items list. To show the Hidden items list, right click an app in the All Apps list and select "Show hidden items list."

Possible - - - but I hope I wasn't THAT stupid   :-)
