I am running 4.3.0 on two systems, a laptop and a Surface. On my Surface, I've added a cascading Metro Apps folder to the start menu using the 'Customize Start Menu' tab.

However, on the laptop I've used the same settings and yet this Metro Apps folder does not display. I've tried everything including exporting/importing the settings from the Surface.

Any clues?

What style of the menu are you using - Windows 7 style or Classic with two columns or just Classic? Also, what operating system is your laptop running?

I am running the Windows 7 style, Metro skin, and the 'inside main menu' style setting.

I am running Windows 10 Enterprise on the laptop and Windows 10 Pro on the Surface. Could that be it?

Again, the two systems have these identical settings, and yet one will not display the Metro apps for some reason. Very strange.

That is really strange. Could you post your Settings XML here, attached to this post? Is there any item below the Apps folder and between the Shutdown button that shows?

Will do. See attached.

I have it set directly above 'Run...'. If I change the setting to any other folder, I get the correct cascading menu. As soon as I set it to Metro Apps it disappears.

Okay here's how you can fix it. Open Start Menu Settings on the PC where the problem occurs.

Switch to the Start Menu Style tab and temporarily choose the "Classic with two columns" style.

Go to the Special Items tab and scroll down till you locate the option "Show Apps menu". Check it.

Now return to the Start Menu Style tab and choose "Windows 7 style" again. Now the Apps folder should return in the right column.
