Windows 11 duplicate start menu app icons
hi all:
I have an issue where, after installing the latest cumulative update for the Dev channel offered in Windows update, I noticed that there are duplicate start menu app icons. Please see the attachment. Repairing Windows and reinstalling Windows does not fix the issue. Any fixes?
I found a fix.
I placed the following commands to Notepad:
ech0 off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe
timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul
del %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q
timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul
start explorer
ech0 on
Saved the file as ClearTileCache.bat and opened it. Issue is gone.
