Windows 10: Start Menu corruption: "Tile database is corrupt"

Since updating Windows 10 to version 1803, I noticed that at the bottom of my Start Menu there is a category "Other" and one item under that category listed as "ms-resource:appDisplayName". When I click on it, it opens a page in Windows Store where I can check for app updates. I figured this is not quite right, so I downloaded and executed Microsoft's Start Menu troubleshooter. It came back with "tile database is corrupt" and "not fixed".

So I then researched and attempted some manual fixes on the tile database, but no success. This involved creating a new user account, and then copying and replacing the corrupted database with a clean database from the newly created user account. For whatever reasons, that did not change anything.

I have also successfully executed Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. And sfc /scannow reports no integrity violations.

I do not have any other issues with the Start Menu, so I think I can live with it as-is. But if there is a relatively easy way to repair it, I'd like to try.

I understand I could do a reset of my Windows 10 install, but that is more than I want to do to address this relatively minor issue.

Thanks for any info.

Tile Database is Corrupt; Cortana Home is Broken; Shows Black Box (And other bugs)

WTF is this? My Windows start menu won't open either. When trying to run the fixer it says "Tile database corrupt".

You've got to be kidding me.... 25 years and you can't have the Start menu open. Back to the drawing board, idiots.

 

corrupted database

I have a message on my phone saying "the database for the calendar application has been deleted or is corrupted. Restore the database from a backup." I synched my phone with the my phone service with no success so I suspect it is corrupted. What can I
do now
