    Down arrows in start menu never disapearing


    It has been a problem for ages with fresh install of Windows 10, that there are down arrows instead of some apps in the start menu.

    I understand the logic that they should be replaced with some apps from the store that should be installed eventually after the first start of Windows. May be this is something that happens to USA users, who receive preinstalled tons of garbage like netflix, news, candy crash game etc.

    Yet it never does for me, from Ukraine. Such arrows remain for years, till you delete them manually. I've installed Windows 10 a few dozen times during the years. On many PCs, It is always the same.

    There are many similar open questions on the internet, that were never correctly answered. Only some recommendations to check store installs, etc. That never worked for that people and me neither. So why is Microsoft not fixing this problem, that existed probably since the first days of Windows 10?

  3. On upgrade to Windows 10 1607, jump list arrows no longer appear on start menu items

    First off, there is no arrow next to File Explorer on the Start Menu. All jump lists on the Start Menu are disabled after the upgrade. Disabling jump lists and rebooting just had the effect of getting rid of all my most recent files in the jump lists (but
    not my pinned files). Jump lists still do not appear next to the most used apps in the Start menu.

    This is very frustrating because this feature worked fine in the 1511 and 1024 versions. It seems like every new version of Windows 10 breaks something.

    Cortana is disabled by group policy, if that would have any effect on the Start menu.

    What I mean by "Most used" are the six most frequently used apps that appear above the alphabetical list of apps in the Start menu. For me, it is Firefox, Thunderbird, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Paint. None of them have jump list arrows in the new 1607
    Start menu. The only place jump lists work is in the taskbar.

    Start Menu List

    It's already listed on the Start Menu just below my User Icon (red arrow), so does anyone know how to remove the Settings icon from the Start Menu list (red circle)?
