Windows 10: Windows 10 Startmenu Tiles showing "down arrow" POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Hi everyone,


many of this discussions were locked so I couldn't answer.


I've ran into the problem with a specific domain user on a fresh installed Windows 10 1809. Where some of the tiles e.g. MSN Weather didn't show up and got a down-arrow. All availlable Windows Updates were done.


Tried a lot by deleting and recreating the user profiles nothing worked.


But then:


I've opened up the Microsoft Store and searched for MSN Weather (one of the missing Tiles with a down arrow) or in German: MSN Wetter

I could see that the button for Download was available.


JUST CLICKED ON DOWNLOAD AND AFTER FINISHING ALL TILES SHOWED UP NICE.


The whole Start Menu was created fine.


Hope that this will help.

Startmenu not "updating"

Hey,

I got the following problem:

• Newly installed Programs/Apps will not show up in the startmenu
• Programs/Shortcuts I add to the Startmenu folders want show in my startmenu
• Startmenu search won't find the new items either, even not if they are pinned to the startmenu

What I have tried to fix my problem:

• Rebuilding my search index
• Reinstalling all windows apps, including cortana
• Try to locate the issue with the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) ⇒ nothing found
• Running the troubleshooter ⇒ returns "incorrect permissions on Windows Search directoriers"
  • changed the default Search folder where the index is saved
  • checked permissions for the Search folder (seems ok)

What I think initially caused the error:

• I switched from German to English on my Win10 PC
  • I then realised that a lot of my searchable windows settings still showed inGerman and not in English and were in addition not clickable anymore (nothing happended)
  • I could not fix the issue so I switched back to German
  • This made the Win10 settings searchable and clickable again, but since then my Startmenu seems to be stuck on its old index

I am running Windows 10 Education with the Anniversary Update - which for me removed Cortana (maybe this issue is connected?)

Any help or advise?
