    Rogue Start screen takes over


    since last update, the Start screen takes over even when I want to go to another site, like email. And if they are open, when I try to move from one to another, Start shows up and shuts them down. I've tried turning off stuff under settings, but it still makes me lose work.

    :)

    Rogue Start Menu App

    Heh. I have used start menu replacements that I never even saw what was going behind them. I just did a manual 1809 to 1903 update and peeked at the "Windows Start Menu" after Open Shell had loaded. There are perhaps a dozen such rogue entries in an "other" category; some having names suggestive of apps (like Skype) but others having placeholder names such as the one pictured above.

    FWIW I have never installed or used a "store" app on this machine.

    Oh well ... back to Open Shell.

    Rogue Start Menu App

    I've recently noticed a start menu app entitled 'ms-resource:AppName/Text.' If you left click, nothing happens. If you right click, then click more, a setting app comes up. That will take you to apps and features section in the settings. I've tried to delete the app to no avail. I've dragged it to desktop and tried deleting it there to no avail. Does anyone no how to get rid of it? I've searched online and found that this has happened before, with the 1803 feature update. I've read that a pc is useless without instructions. Something is instructing the system to place it in the start menu. Any suggestions?

    How do I get the Windows 8.1 start screen in Windows 10?

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.

    I would suggest you to try the following steps:




    • Click Start icon and click Settings

    • Choose Personalization, click on Start

    • Turn on “Use start full screen”


    Regards,
