Windows 10: Pin to Start Win11 H2 - Icons do not appear.

So, I was trying to create multiple folders by different themes in Start Menu in H2. The problem is, after creating 3 folders and adding programs into those folders, any attempts at pining more programs results in me not seeing the program icon in the Start Menu at all.If I go to a given program which I have decided to pin, I can clearly see that it says it's part of the Start Menu but it's not, to me it appears like either there is a limit of programs you can pin in the Start Menu or a bug related to H2 and Start Menu.

Hi, THERLOSMABAYA.

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

To pin an app back to your Start screen, kindly follow these steps:

• Go to your App list.
• Look for the app.
• Tap and hold the app, and tap "Pin to
  start".
• Go back to your Start Screen, swipe at the bottom part and you will see there the icon of the apps that you just pinned.

Regards.

How to customize pinned Start Menu icon?

OK, I have a comparable shortcut I added to Windows Accessories to start IE with no add-ons. It is in:
C:\Users\<my name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories
and is an ordinary shortcut to iexplore.exe with some parameters:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

It originally showed the default IE icon on the list of All apps on the left Start menu. I pinned it to Start and it showed the same IE icon. I then did 'More > Open file location' and gave it a different icon. As you can see, both the All apps menu and the Tile show the custom icon now.





This was done with version 1607, what version does Winver say you have? It may be that this doesn't work on earlier versions, the Start menu had a lot of changes from that of 1511.

I suggest you try changing the icon to something else, then back to your preferred icon after you have pinned it to Start. This may kick Windows into showing the correct icon on the Tile.
