Windows 10: Most stock Store apps displayed as "ms-resource:AppName" in start menu

For many months now, I noticed that the standard windows Calculator app, which I use often, no longer was displayed as "Calculator" in the start menu, but as "ms-resource:AppName". It didn't bother me too much since I could still type "calc" or rather, the German equivalent "rech" to have it bring up the Calculator shortcut, even though the name was not displayed.


However, since installing the May 2020 feature update, this has changed, and typing "calc"/"rech" into search no longer brings up the calculator shortcut. I figured out that I can now only find the Calculator anymore by actually searching for the displayed name, e.g. by typing "AppName". The search results will then show me a list of suggestions, and it seems that most stock Windows apps at this point are displayed as either "ms-resource:AppName" or "ms-resource:AppName/Text", instead of by their actual names. This includes Alarms & Clock, Calculator, Calendar, Voice Recorder, and others; all third-party apps and a few remaining stock apps seem fine.





As you can see, it's still possible to distinguish what app each result refers to by looking at the icon. But, needless to say, this is a very cumbersome way of starting these apps. Creating my own shortcuts is a possible workaround, but I don't think that should be necessary. There is no quicker way to start these apps than through Windows key > typing a few letters > selecting the search result, and this bug is preventing me from doing that.


Here are a few things I already tried:

• Reboot the system
• Check for new updates I'm all up-to-date
• Update the affected apps through Windows Store
• Reset the affected apps
• Uninstall and reinstall the affected apps
• Run the Microsoft Store troubleshooter – it didn't do anything
• Use an ugly way of forcing Windows to rebuild the Start Menu database

Out of these, only the last one had any effect at all: it fixed the name for the Calendar app, which now is displayed as "Calendar" again, instead of "ms-resource:AppName". However, subsequently performing that step repeatedly doesn't fix the display names of any other apps; Calendar is the only one I could get fixed.


How can I get my apps to display properly again?

Phantom app in start menu

In the start menu I have item named @{Microsoft.WindowsFeedback_10.0.10586.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy?ms-resource://Microsoft.WindowsFeedback/FeedbackApp.Resources/Appname/Text} which can not be deleted nor launched.

App is not on the get-appxpackage's list also. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks for getting back to us. It seems that it might be a an unsuccessfully installed application. Let's try to reset your Windows Store cache to resolve your concern. This will just reset Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed
applications. Follow these steps for instructions:

• Press Windows Key + R.
• Type WSreset.exe and hits OK.
• Check if it takes you to a store page which displays that the cache has been reset.
• Check if it will still appear on your Start Menu.

Should your need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.
