Windows 10: Microsoft Store Apps not uninstalling correctly and still showing in the start menu

My problem is two parts.1 If I right click a Microsoft Store app in the start menu and click "Uninstall" nothing happens. They only way I can uninstall them is through "Add/Remove Programs" or using Appx in PowerShell.2 Once I do get the program removed, it no longer shows up in Add/Remove programs, and the Microsoft Store does not show it as installed, but it still shows up in the Windows start menu. Clicking it just opens the "Library" page in Microsoft Store.This appears to be happening with all of my Microsoft Store apps. Any suggestion on how to fix this?I have already tried the followi

Store Apps not showing up in Start Menu


I have apps installed from the Microsoft store on my laptop but they don't show up on the start menu to be able to pin to the start menu. They also don't show up under the "All Apps" area. Is there a way to force apps to show up so that I can pin them to the start menu?

Twice now I've had pinned apps disappear from my start menu - for example, I pinned a game & the notepad to the start menu. Then when going back to the start menu later, they're gone. I have repinned them in a different spot on the start menu & they seem to be staying now - is this normal?

 

Start menu not deleting uninstalled apps

I have uninstalled several apps from the Microsoft Store, and also gone into the store and hidden them in my library. However, the start menu insists on continuing to show these apps. I have also gone in start menu programs in file explorer, but it doesn't
show these. How can I get rid of these on my start menu?
