Start menu displays NO programs except Most Used - Microsoft Community


i noticed problem morning; don't know when problem started because don't use start button every day. when clicked on start button, saw 6 programs under used, 4 icons @ left, , useless colorful tiles right. absolutely no applications of kind though have many installed programs. get-startapps gives count of 344.

this pc running windows 10 home - automatic updates enabled.

i have run dism , sfc suggested in several forums. no problems found.

the correct folders , shortcuts contained in following 2 locations:

c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs

and

c:\users\current_user\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs

how can start menu show more used programs?

since exhausted possible troubleshooting steps, recommend perform clean install.

regards.
