Hi,
Settings > Personalization > Start > Choose which folder appear on Start
I need to enable ONLY the following ones:

File Explorer
Settings
Documents
Downloads
Personal Folder

As usual via registry!
In Windows 7 the key was:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

For example: "Start_ShowDownloads"=dword:00000001
But in Windows 10 registry address is changed I think.
Anyone knows the new address?
Thanks in advance.

This set of instructions enables exporting of a Windows 10 Start Menu layout to an XML file, that can be deployed to change Start Menu layouts for all involved users. It worked in Windows 10 Technical Preview. Other than this method, there is currently no known registry-based method of modifying the folders that appear.
