    ghost icons


    All of a sudden, when I open and excel or word file, the file opens corrently but on the screen is a lightly shaded pop up of the same file icon. It's weird and annoying. Any ideas on how to make it stop?
    Windows 10 build 176.18.1000

    Ghost icon in Windows 10


    Hi

    After the latest win 10 preview update, I have a ghost icon left from a MUI app in the start menu. App isn't installed, clicking does nothing.

    It's just there with the @{xxxxxxx} crap, and it's actually annoying me.

    I looked in the start menu folders area but Modern apps aren't showing there, so I presume it's in the registry someplace.

    Suggestions on how to remove my ghost?

    Hi Gary,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Do you face the issue only with Sniper Ghost Warrior?
    We would suggest you to update the graphics drivers and check.
