Start recording and amount of tiles in menu

Hello, did you try checking the Game bar's Settings? It might be the case that the Game bar Record game clips and screenshots setting is switched off. Then the Game bar isn't going to open when you press its hotkey. So you can check that option as
follows. Open the Xbox app by clicking its Start menu tile.

Btw, you don't need to pin the Settings, just "Start" click a tile and settings menu pop up. It takes a second, if that long.

The only way to remove the games from that long list is to uninstall the game/app.
But the tiles can be removed from the metro start menu, the space to the right of the long list.

This is possible from the Xbox one console...

Push Xbox button so your in the main menu, highlight need for speed tile, press start (the one with the three lines) , it will bring up a menu, go down to manage games, this will bring you into need for speed options. On the right will be tiles for each
of you Xbox accounts saved data, highlight the one you want, press start, click delete save data and choose delete from everywhere. Your game can then be restarted!

Hope this helps!

Go to your menu top left of game click game options and turn off the large tiles. There are two sets of tiles for each theme, when the large tiles selection is on that's when you get the numbered tiles off are the original tiles.
