What I mean by "start menu" in the above is what appears on the left-hand side of the menu that appears when the StartAllBack "button" (lower left) is clicked. The left-hand side holds recently-executed programs / apps PLUS anything I pin there. But I have nothing pinned there. I can remove every item (right-click and then select to remove). But Edge is always the first entry, it's not pinned, and when I click to remove it ... it stays where it is.
