Windows 10: Microsoft store spams start menu

I recently did a fresh install of windows 10, so I had to re-download and installed Forza Horizon 4 (Ultimate edition)
But now every single piece of DLC has its own icon in the start menu!On windows 10 20H2

note: these are not pinned icons, this is the normal list of icons but only the game is supposed to show up there, not the DLCs

Windows 10 Start menu is empty

Hi. Steps 1 and 2 didn't do much but step 3 has restored what looks like the list of original Microsoft apps but no sign of any of the many apps I have installed. And there are no tiles in the start menu. Any suggestions please?

Below are some troubleshooting steps in ascending order of severity.
Before starting, take careful backups including a system image.
I suggest using for that
AOMEI Backupper Standard Free.
Create also the AOMEI boot CD or USB and test that it can boot and can see
both your system disk and the disk where the image backup is stored.

To reinstall all Store apps for the current account :

1. Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator
   
2. Copy and paste the command below in PowerShell, and press Enter
   
   
3. Wait for this to finish and reboot.
   

If this does not work, Windows is in bad shape.
Start by checking the integrity of system files :

1. Open an elevated Command Prompt (cmd) or an elevated Windows PowerShell.
   
2. In the elevated command prompt, execute the command below :
   
   
3. Reboot
   

If this does not help, follow the steps outlined in the article
