    windows 10 start menu folder name "Unknown"


    After installing my application in windows 10, I found that the application was installed successfully in the folder

    C:\Users\myName\AppData\Local\myApp

    However, the folder name of my application is wrongly defined as "Unknown" instead of "myApp" in the start menu as following,

    C:\Users\hkim\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Unknown

    Can I know what's the reason why?

    :)

    Make a Start menu shortcut to it in the All Programs section. Then drag it to the top left of the original Cascade menu. (Where windows update normally is).
