    After upgrade from 8.1 - How to remove hundreds of dead shortcuts in All apps menu which...


    After an upgrade from 8.1 (using the Media creation tool) my "All apps" list in the start menu is showing as usual a mix of "universal apps" and "desktop apps" where for desktop apps the file path of the shortcuts can be opened in the explorer by right clicking which is (as usual) not the case for universal apps. However one folder appears in the list containing a large number of useless shortcuts which seem to be falsly recognised as universal apps.


    The falty shortcuts show symbols and names of text files, pdfs and other files which belong to an installation of a large older program ("desktop app") that had been installed in Windows 8.1. Nothing happens upon clicking on them. A right click shows only the "pin to start" option as for universal apps.

    The highly inconvenient consequence seems to be that for a number of other desktop programs that are installed and used frequently no shortcuts appear in the list supposedly due to to the limit of 512. These shortcuts can still be found in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.


    I believe the faulty shortcuts were already shown in the all apps list of windows 8.1 but it never bothered me because I could still find all other desktop programs in it. Uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app is not an option here and I am afraid it may not even solve the problem. How can I get rid of this annoyance? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Apart from this issue I am fairly satisfied with windows 10.
