    Start Shortcuts Background


    Hello!

    I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on a new drive and then I have proceeded with installing all the applications I need. Then I encountered the following problem:


    Click to see image


    I cannot understand why, on the right-hand side, some of the shortcuts appear with a whitened background and some not. I do not prefer any background, but I want to be the same for all tiles. What should I do?

    :)

    How to add shortcut into start?

    Can you read their instruction? that is not clear at all.

    Under %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, it only shows Folders : Maintnance, Windows Powershell, Windows System, Windows System Tools ... Start up.
    There is no a list of program shortcuts and subfolders. I cannot follow their instruction, if you understand, could you please show your steps?

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

    "Opening that folder should display a list of program shortcuts and subfolders. In this example, we want to add all the new shortcuts into a subfolder called Settings, so right-click any empty space in the File Explorer window, click New
    > Folder, name that folder Settings, and open the newly created, empty folder.

    The rest of the process is straightforward. Right-click and choose New > Shortcut. Enter the full path of the executable file or ms-settings shortcut you want to add (as in the example shown here), click Next, and then enter a name for the shortcut.

    Repeat this process for any other shortcuts you want to add. All your custom shortcuts should appear in the Programs list, where they're one right-click away from being pinned as a tile."

    Start menu icons background edit

    I'm trying to make the start menu look more or less color-consistent, but some apps in the list stand out and create contrast. Is there a way to edit the icon background to make it the same blue as the rest in the list? I know how to change the shortcut icon but couldn't find the ones with an identical blue background.
