    Non-Universal Apps (Power Shell, Device Manager, etc.) not launching from Start Context Menu. Universal apps start fine.


    I already tried restarting the system and that did not help. I tried replacing the shortcuts in


    C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3


    with the ones from Default, but that did not help either.


    Thoughts?

    :)

    Inconsistent Shell Context Menu


    I noticed something peculiar this morning. The Explorer right-click context menu is inconsistent on what it displays.

    For example, when I right-clicked on one folder, it displays the "Add to Windows Media Player List" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options.

    However, when I right-clicked on another folder, these options are absent.

    Whether these options appear in the context menu seems to be entirely arbitrary. About half of the folders have the options, and the rest do not.

    Is this a known bug?
