Windows 10: Tile database corrupt?

how did this even happen? this is so annoying and all the "fixes"' for it are pretty useless.
Do I really have to reset everything? do I really have to make another user account and copy and no longer existing folder into my main account?
Like how about just a hot fix Microsoft?? this is your fault anyways, how can I easily and quickly fix this and not pay money to get it fixed?

btw this is a picture of what it looks like, applications working, icons invisible.

Start Menu corruption: "Tile database is corrupt"


Thanks for your reply. I tried both methods, but unfortunately no success in fixing my tile database corruption.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Otherwise, I can live with the problem as-is since it is relatively minor.

 

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.

 

Start Menu troubleshooter says Tile Database is corrupt?

As referred to in the title, SMT tells me the Tile Database is corrupt, but nothing appears to be wrong with it, and no repairs I've tried have fixed the issue.
