My tab bar position is left and if I change it to the top everything works. So after all this I know why I can't hide that menu and I want to thank you all for that. And I still would like to have option to remove the menu bar easily, no matter what my other settings are. However Vivaldi is a great browser and this is just a kind of fine.
How to Add or Remove All Apps List in Start Menu in Windows 10All apps in the Start menu displays an alphabetical list of all your installed Windows apps and desktop apps in Windows 10. Some of these apps are grouped into folders with the folder name in the alphabetical list.
Starting with Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14942, users can hide or show the app list (aka: 'All apps') in their Start menu.
If you like, you can enable a policy that allows you to either collapse or remove the all apps list from the Start menu.
