Start Menu entries

Post by ErikJan »

I see shortcuts in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

But I don't see these shortcuts in my start menu... What am I missing?

My Start menu appears to be a combination of three sources:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
"Modern" Windows apps such as Alarms & Clock, Calculator etc.

I have no idea why the icons in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs don't appear in your Start menu...
Best wishes,
Hans
