Hi all,
This problem is driving me crazy, I am rolling out Windows 10 to all out PCs but seemingly at random when a user logs in to a Windows 10 PC it will not show all the start menu items. Sometimes it will only show 3 items (usually Edge and 2 others) sometimes it shows most items but is missing MS Office apps like Excel and Word and sometimes it shows everything.
I have found online that a temporary fix it to mark one of the following folders as hidden then unhidden. I can do this either on:
C:\Users\<current username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
or
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
It doesn't matter which one of these I do it on and in fact just marking it as hidden fixes it without even marking it as unhidden. Even if I get an "access denied" error when trying to mark it as hidden it still immediately brings back all start menu items!
The problem however keeps coming back so I need a way to permanently fix this. The only workaround I can think of is a script that runs after logging in to hide and unhide the folder but that seems very messy!
Thanks in advance!
