Even though I’d rather avoid saying “you can’t,” the reality is you have to. Having spent a lot of time with Windows, I haven’t encountered any tools that alter the Start menu itself. I’ve come across some options tailored for Windows 8.1, but they mainly tweak visuals and animations rather than changing functionality. If you could remove the square holding an icon, it would be tough to determine where to place other programs within the menu. Still, there’s hope! If you know C++ or XAML, you might be able to build a solution that achieves your goals. Don’t hesitate to search online thoroughly—results are often found with persistence. It’s essentially a 50/50 situation, but determination could lead you to what you need. Keep an eye out for the updated Start layout, for example: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/24/20708...start-menu and https://www.windowscentral.com/hands-new...uild-18947
