New Settings Delete Home Page in Windows 11

Windows 11 recently introduced a new Home page for settings. This new Home page includes several featured sections with what Microsoft calls cards.

For example, each card provides quick access to frequently used features in Windows 11. There are a total of seven different cards, recommended settings, cloud storage, Bluetooth devices, personalization, account recovery, Microsoft 365.

If for some reason you prefer to restore the old overview with the known lists, you can do this by adjusting a key in the Windows registry. In this article I explain how this works.

New Settings Delete Home Page in Windows 11

Right-click on the Start button. Then click “run” in the menu. In the run window type: regedit.exe

Go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

Right-click on “Polices” and click “New” and then “Key”. Name this new key:

Explorer

Now right-click on “Explorer” and click “New” and then “String Value”. Name this string value:

SettingsPageVisibility

Double-click “SettingsPageVisibility” and change the value data to “hide:home”.

Now restart your computer to apply the change. After the restart you have restored the old Settings home page.

Optional: If you still want to restore the new settings overview, delete the “SettingsPageVisibility” value in the Windows registry. You do this by right-clicking on the value and clicking “delete” in the menu.

Below you can see the old settings homepage:

I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
