    Start Menu Icons Missing


    Hi, I searched for this problem in the forum but must of the replies apply to Windows or Desktop icons missing. I'm including an image which I think it explains the problem better
    As you can see, the menu on the right has three icons (circled in red) that are missing from the menu on the left. They are "Documents", "Downloads", and "File Explorer"
    These images were taking from the same laptop under two different users but the Administrator account also shows the menu on the left. I have the same issue in another Desktop PC with just one user and the Administrator but in the unit both menus are the same as the one on the left image, icons are missing.
    Anyone knows why and how to fix it?

    :)

  3. Start Menu icons are missing

    Hi Janes,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

    To assist you better, please provide few details.


    • Which all Icons are missing on the Start menu?

    • Are you able to find the Icons, when you click on
      All apps
      in the start menu?

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to search for the Icons in the search bar, if the icon appears in the search list then
    right click on the icon and select Pin to Start and check if the icons appears in the start menu.

    If the issue persists, Perform System File Checker (sfc) scan and check if it helps.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

    Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

    Start Menu Icons Missing

    Hi @JGENT,

    What icons appear on the far left of Start are a personal choice for each user account. Go to Settings > Personalisation >Start and click on 'Choose which folders appear on Start' at the bottom of the page to add or remove icons.

    To Bree;
    Thank you. That worked !!! I figured it had to be some settings but I could not find it. It is now working as I want it.
