Windows 10: Update removes apps -> "the item changed or moved"

Seems to delete apps. Can't find the .exe anymore. Also secure apps like Stata 17. This happened with a few of the last updates. Is there are way to permanently fix it? Thank you very much in advance!***** moved from german to english Community *****

Windows 10 Mail app doesn't "move" items

Hello Roger,

Since you already ran the troubleshooter for Windows apps, may we know the message that appears after the troubleshooter have completed troubleshooting?

For now, we suggest that you check if there are updates waiting to be installed for your Windows 10 device. To manually check for updates in Windows 10, follow the steps below:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings
  > Update & security > Windows Update. If you want to check for updates manually, select
  Check for updates.
• Select Advanced options, and then under Choose how updates are installed, select
  Automatic (recommended).

Note: After the updates have finished installing, restart your device and check if you are able to move items within Windows 10 Mail app.

 

Add or Remove Items for All Apps in Start menu in Windows 10  


Hi, @Brink:

My caffeine titer is low, so I must be missing some blatant, basic step to add a shortcut to my account's All Apps list in the Start menu (Option1).
The new process both for creating shortcuts and for adding/removing items to the Win10 start menu has me flummoxed.
Your tutorials are always "topnotch", so this must be a cockpit error on my part.

>I would like to follow the suggestion on page 1 of the wushowhide.diagcab tutorial to add a shortcut in All Apps for my account.

I have d/l the wushowhide.diagcab and saved it to my downloads folder.
I have done Step 1 on Page 1 of THIS tutorial to navigate to the Start Menu Programs folder.
But HOW do I actually complete Step 3 to create a shortcut and then add it to the Start Menu "All Apps"??

I think I need to first somehow create a shortcut for the .cab file and then add it to All Apps in the start menu???

Please advise.

Thanks!
MM

P.S. I have been postponing the probably inevitable installation of Class Shell.
I would rather not have to install a 3rd-party program to be able to perform basic Windows tasks.
But this new workflow in Win10 for a basic functionality might force me to do it.
Sigh.

 

In Windows 10 taskbar shortcuts all say "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved"

All the taskbar items and shortcuts from the start menu are unable to complete their links.

The phrase "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list".

The items have not been moved, nor renamed, nor removed. The list does update with recent items, but I can never get the short cut to work. I have tried to delete these shortcuts, but the "delete" does not delete them.

Any suggestions?
