Windows 10: Applications still showing on Start menu after powershell deletion

Hi,

I've used powershell to remove some apps (like Xbox games).

On one account, it cleaned up the start menu just fine.

Second account, they were showing on the start menu, so I ran powershell again and verified everything was gone that I wanted, but Xbox is still showing on the menu list. *Not* as a tile, but in the "All Apps" list. I have also tried looking at the Start Menu in File Explorer for that User and can not see the App listed.

Suggestions?

Thanks,


:)

 

How to remove "Microsoft Edge" from Start menu? - Windows 10 Pro

Hello,

I want to remove Microsoft Edge from Start Menu (it is already "unpinned" from taskbar and Start Menu, but still shows in the complete Start menu list).

So far I have:

1- deleted the Edge app folder (Windows/Systemapps)

2- deleted two folders in the windows registry that may had led to "Microsoft Edge" in the start menu (simply searching "Microsoft Edge" inside the registry). This folder/lines were regenerated itself on each start until I deleted the resources.pri file inside
the Edge folder in Systemapps.

But "Microsoft Edge" still shows in Start menu.

May be I need to "refresh" the Start Menu?

Or is there any other line in the registry containing the Microsoft Edge Start Menu reference?

I do not want any 3rd party application to hack the Start Menu.

Thanks.
