Windows 10: Quick Question re: Start Menu Icons

https://preview.redd.it/z6gc5xc52n1...bp&s=9b9a3d14e429d34d419b907b069232eb060efd74

Hi All, apologies for the horrible image. Just had a query that I hope somebody knows the answer to. I don't really think of it as tech support, more of a cosmetic detailing issue that I'm interested to know the fix for, if there is one: On the start menu/launcher that appears when hitting the windows key, is there any way to ensure that rather than the files appearing in the launcher, the symbols for the applications appear instead? For example, if i click on that battle.net icon ( coincidentally the same one that appears on the right) that I can then click to launch the app. Is there a way for me to just have the icon there, rather than the file pathway?

I have a similar thing all down the menu. Interestingly enough, you can see my Diablo icon at the top, which is there due to a recent reinstall (season 4 = redeemed). If I go down the list however to "D", the Diablo IV folder appears, which I then have to click through to get to the icon. Very weird and frustrating. It also makes the start menu look and feel kind of horrible. Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated and apologies if I've come to the wrong place.

Bonus points if anyone can offer an explanation of why this is happening and how to prevent it in future!

Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.
