    Removed apps link is dead


    I’ve just reset my pc, the removed app link appeared on my desktop and I opened it and the list was there. Great. About 15 minutes later I open the link again and it’s “File not found”. I didn’t delete anything, no idea why the link is now dead. Any ideas?

    Remove a dead Windows app

    Removed apps link is dead b58aacb4-c144-44c6-ae47-4674787d80eb.jpg

    Just like the pic above, a dead app in the app list of START menu; and another workable Insider Hub app meanwhile.

    This "@{Microsoft.Windows.InsiderHub..." can not be unstalled, although no affection, just bad looking and feeling.

    But I still want to remove it, any big master can tell me an idea...

    Removed apps link is dead

    "All apps" Button not working - Where are links stored?


    At some point my "All apps" button has stopped working. Clicking on it causes the apps list to flash very very briefly then dumps me back to home screen. Everything else seems to work OK.
    Anyone know where the links in that list of apps is stored? I'm thinking one of the links is broken causing the whole list to shut down, and if I remove links from the list one by one I can find it. That's the only thing I can think to try.
    Unfortunately no restore points exist and Repair tools like Startup Repair Etc. does not help.
    Any other Ideas / Suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mike
