Windows 10: Strange behavior of the Start menu

You can add shortcuts in the start menu, alphabetical list, by adding them in the old start menu location. What is strange is that if you add several shortcuts to the same program with different parameters, only one appears on the list, why ? No idea. Anyway it appears with the right icon, the one defined by the shortcut. If this entry list is pinned to the start screen, it appears with the icon of the exe file, not the one of the shortcut. Second strange behavior. I regret all this. The start menu of W10 lost something very important in the W7 and previous versions. The ability to create a hierarchical menu : one for internet, one for multimedia, one for office programs etc… The actual start menu is a real mess compared to what could be done in W7. This can be partly solved by the start screen : it’s possible to create folders, one for internet, one for multimedia ad so on, and the folders can contain pinned tiles to the right programs. Anyway, its’ completely impossible to create several shortcuts to the same program. For example one for starting the browser to one a website, one for starting it to another website and so on. Personally, I solve this by using an alternate shell able to manage several shortcuts to the same program… and to choose the icon. Anyway, this behavior of the start menu remains very strange, and makes the start menu of W10 less usable than the ones of the previous versions of windows not W8 of course which was a complete failure.

Apps and Features menu item: Strange Behavior

In the Apps and Features dialogue window of the System Settings menu, grey bars appear over the apps as the window is scrolled, obscuring the app icons and descriptions. Sometimes the grey bars disappear, and the app can be seen. At other times, the grey
bars obscure the apps which cannot be seen nor accessed.

By default, Apps and Features dialogue window will "display" the full list of apps. The grey-bar behavior occurs only when the full list is displayed. Upon narrowing the list -- through the search feature -- the selected list of apps' display normally.
To the best of my knowledge, this behavior does not occur anywhere else in the Windows system menus.

I deleted all the iconcaches via the Windows CLI, which did not resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

Steps:

1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
2. Open start menu using the icon.
3. Close start menu using the icon.
4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
   
5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.
