Windows 10: Duplicate of an App in Start Menu after App update

Hello,

I have a Windows Store App installed; EdgeTile Creators. It got an update and after installing that update through the Windows Store, I now have two versions of that app in the All Programs list of the Start menu; one that doesn't work when clicking on it (presumably the old version before the update) and one that does work which is the new version. (see attachment)

Uninstalling the old version through right-clicking on the old app doesn't do anything and doesn't remove the old app from the list. Uninstalling the new version only removes the new version of the duplicate app.
I can't find the apps in the Start Menu directory through explorer to delete the old one.

Can this be a problem caused by the developer of the app? Because updating any other app doesn't give this issue.

How do I remove duplicate icons from the "all apps" list???

I have 3 duplicate icons in the All Apps start menu. Firefox, Chrome, and another program. The target shortcuts for these icons are not duplicated in programs folder of the start menu. Seems strange that two of the three are for competing browsers. .

 

Duplicate Games in Games folder - Windows 10

I have the same issue - duplicate games in games menu - but not for all games - in the games folder under Apps. The games folder itself does not show duplicates - it is only in the UI off the Start button / All Apps.

 

a QUICK REBOOT WILL PROBABLY FIX THINGS UP.

(Oops! Caps Lock was on! Sorry bout that!)

 

Haha, no worries. I already did several reboots but it didn't solve the problem. I have a hunch this might be a fault from the developer although I'm not sure.

Edit: Someone else seems to have this problem mentioned in the concerning app thread: EdgeTile Creators: A fully-featured Tile Man - Pg. 2 | Windows 10 Development and Hacking
