  1. Odd Apps in Start


    I had some odd apps appear in my start menu. I have no clue what they are or what they do. If I can, I would like to remove these because they look kinda sketchy. Some of them say I can uninstall them when I right-click them, for some, it says I can't. But I don't uninstall them because I don't know what they are. Any info on what they are and what I can do about it?

    :)

    Odd Apps in Start

    NEWLY added apps are not showing on Start App list

    Hi Tamal,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    1. Is Cortana able to search the apps installed?

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    • Type Start Settings in Search and hit
      Enter.
    • Turn on Show recently added apps in jump list of Start of Taskbar.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks
