How to use Filtered Folders?

from Stardock Forums

I cannot get the Universal Applications menu to display only store apps. It's including Win32 apps such as Sysinternals . So since I cannot get answers as to how to fix it I thought I would create a filtered folder instead. But there's nowhere that I can find with documentation on how to use the feature. I created a filtered folder and pointed it to a location and set a filter to include only LNK files. Even this is guess work since I cannot find any documentation of useful help on this feature. But the folder does not show up on  the quick list nor does it show up in the folders that can be added to the right-side quick lists.

Anyone know where these I can find documentation on how to use this feature and actually get it to show a quick folder too?

Did you install the sysinternals tools from the Windows store?

Now that's an interesting question. And would certainly explain some things. Checking in the store it appears this version was installed from the MS Store. But it is not only Sysinternals that is showing up in the list. Avast is as well, and it was not installed from the MS Store. Neither was Realtek Audio Console.But it is certainly not all my Win32 apps that show up by any long-shot. Is there an API from MS that allows Win032 apps to registry in the Store App namespace?

But back to the question at hand, is there documentation for the Filtered Folders feature in Start 11 v.2?

Neil that Sysinternals install source was enough of a question to lead me to the conclusion that the problem with the Start 11 quick slots was from apps that are either store installs, or add components as if they were. Thanks for that!
