Windows 10: How To Fix Empty&Useles Tile From Windows 10 Start Menu

As you can understand from the title: I have a problem which is about the Windows 10 Start Menu.
Here is a screenshot:



After last Windows 10 Update (It updated 07.11.16), when I was adjusting the start menu, I removed Google Chrome shortcut and I added my custom Google Chrome. Some time later an empty shortcut tile appeared. I just clicked to remove the tile and nothing happens. If I click the tile nothing happens again. But it isn't the real Google Chrome because I uninstalled the chrome, checked it and it's still there. I have tried many things: reload explorer.exe, rebuild icon cache by cmd, rebuild by power shells specific codes, hold and drag to trash bin... and more. I have tried whatever I found on the web. But nothing worked. I think there is a bug or something like that. Please help me.

Don’t like the name of a given tile in your Start Menu? Right-click the tile, select Open file location, then rename the respective file in Windows Explorer. While you’re at it, you can also change the icon used for the tile. In Windows Explorer, right click
the file, select Properties, in the Shortcut tab click Change Icon…, and select a given icon or Browse… for an alternative one on your computer."

Hope those help.

 

Have you tried going to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and deleting the shortcut?

@burakyak, if you have Nvidia you should check which driver version you're using.

I have tried going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and looking for the shortcut. But there was no unexpected shortcut. Finally, I went to C:\Users\Burak Yak\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and find an empty Chrome folder. I deleted the folder and now it's gone.

Thank you so much for your help Cliff.

 

You're very welcome*Smile I'm glad it was only that.
