Windows 10: Deleted Streamlabs Desktop and Its Icon Has Duplicated Itself in the Start Menu and Cannot...

Last night I chose to uninstall Streamlabs in exchange for the standard version of OBS and after I attempted to unpin it from my start menu and then uninstall the program itself, I found that it had created multiple broken links to itself in my start menu. Now, I have six to seven instances of the same thing and also can't remove any other programs from the pinned section, either. I have already run the SFC, restarted Explorer, and deleted my icon cache and don't know where else to turn. Any ideas?

Vista - Weird error trying to delete Start Menu item

It's probably just a registry entry - run registry cleaner. Or, try doing this; Open File Explorer, browse to \Windows\Start Menu and you'll see the icons there. Delete from this folder and that should remove it.

If the deleted files is stil in Recycle bin, restore it then go back to start menu and delete the file the normal way.

If you can't find the recycle bin...Right-click on your desktop and choose Personalize,
click the Change Desktop Icons link in upper left hand corner. In the Desktop Icons Settings window, check the Recycle Bin box and click OK.

Hope that helps.*Toast :toast:
