    Why aren't Windows Start Menu Shortcuts Consistent?


    <p>On the Start Menu, I have many Microsoft Applications.&nbsp; However, some say "Microsoft App Name" while other say "App Name."&nbsp; Check out the image below:</p><p></p><p><a href="https://filestore.community.support.microsoft.com/api/images/5f2325fe-3980-4b16-8d93-bfef42da9585?upload=true" target="_blank"><img src="https://filestore.community.support.microsoft.com/api/images/5f2325fe-3980-4b16-8d93-bfef42da9585?upload=true" /></a></p><p></p><p>You see that I have "Microsoft Office Tools", "Microsoft Teams", "Microsoft System Center" but not "Microsoft OneNote" or "Microsoft Outlook."</p><p></p><p>Is there a setting I'm able to utilize to make this consistent for my users or something the programmers at MS control?</p>
