Start Menu All Apps menu for All users

I am trying to save a .exe in the All Apps menu for every user that logs into the computer.

With Windows 7 you could go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and modify the start menu for all users. Doesn't seem to work with Win 10 now.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB

 

The Open file location selection can be found from More submenu:





Notice that the Open file location selection is not available for the Windows Store apps, including the native Windows apps like Camera, Calculator, Mail, Weather and so on.

 

The picture you have there i do not even get more , i just get "Pin to start " that is all , nothing else

 

One question, is it the same with the tiles? Or do you get more options there?

 

it is the same with the tiles as well .

 

Have you tried system file checker? sfc /scannow in an admin command prompt? Or better yet follow these instructions:

You can try fixing things, by copy & pasting the following in an Admin Command Prompt:


fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\&fsutil usn deletejournal /d /n c:&Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase&pause


And let it run through.
Then reboot and run it again, to check if it cleaned and fixed everything.
It may take awhile depending on your hardware(HDD or SSD),
and it may appear to freeze at 20% on the third part,
just be patient and let in run out.

 

Hi.
Did the system come with W10 or is this an upgrade?
If an upgrade, from what OS, and how (procedure)?
Has this always been a problem, or has it just happened recently?
If it just happened recently, what changes were made to the system around the time it appeared?
Can you revert to a restore point to a time before the problem appeared?
If nothing else, you could try an in-place upgrade to effect a repair install.

 

i have tried the things cliff listed above , the scan not the other i will try that when i get home

Sim
The os is windows 10 professional clean install
The problem has only come about in the last 2 weeks
The only real change is the install of Visual Studio 2015

 

Worth testing also is making another account and see if it happens there also.

That would tell you if your apps are corrupted or your account.

 

i did actually try that and i would lean towards the apps ,reason i say this is because i click the buttons to make new accounts and nothing at all happens . its like they are dead links

 

Run a system restore.
Pick a date that is more than 2 weeks ago as your restore point.
System Restore Windows 10

 

Yeah, if you can't do a system restore, then do the repair install by doing an in-place upgrade. It's quite painless and should resolve the problem.

 

Thank you i will give all these ideas a try , thank you all for your time . One thing i did do was install classic shell and now everything i wish to do i can do , but id like to get back to standard so i will try all this stuff , Thank you again
