Start menu duplicate Shortcuts

This answer is for Windows build 15063 (Creator Update)

If Charlie C's answer doesn't work (in my case It's even get worse, having triplicate to three tiles per shortcut), please try this:

1. Go to the start menu shortcut folder (e.g. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs). Locate the problematic shortcut, made a copy of it to the same folder.
   
2. Unpin the last problematic tile in the start menu. You will notice that instead of the latest one, the first duplicate disappear instead.
   
3. Go back to the start menu folder, delete the original problematic shortcut. (keep the copy).
   
4. Back to start menu, the remaining problematic tiles will change their name to the name of the copy of the shortcut (something like - Copy).
   
5. Now you have one less duplicate tiles. Repeat step 1-4 until a single tile of the shortcut left.
   

 

New Crucial SSD Data Transfer Kit Provides Simplified Data Transfer Solution

Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the Crucial RealSSD C300 with Data Transfer Kit available with the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB C300 drives.

Migrating from a traditional hard drive to a solid-state drive offers improved boot up and application load times.

In three easy steps, the Crucial Data Transfer Kit provides users with a simple solution for copying everything on an existing hard drive and transferring it to a Crucial RealSSD C300 drive – including the operating system, data, email settings, applications, and more. This new Crucial kit makes it as simple as connecting the SATA-to-USB cable to the RealSSD and the USB port on a notebook, running the cloning software, and swapping out the old drive with the new Crucial RealSSD.

We succeeded in creating a convenient, start-to-finish solution," said Rob Wheadon, Lexar Media senior worldwide SSD product manager.
