When I logged in my windows 8 I was surprised when I found that most of the tiles that were in my start menu disappeared even the desktop tile and the store tile.
I found an article that suggests creating the apps shortcuts and pasting them in this folder
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
but when I opened this folder I was surprised again to find all my tiles shortcuts there
Nothing is missing at all even the desktop shortcut and store shortcut are there
So, what is wrong?
Why don't these apps show up in the start menu?
I don't remember doing any thing the last time I used my laptop except uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Basic 6
Note: after some research I found a reference to this path
C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Application Shortcuts
when I'm pasting my shortcuts there they are appearing in Start Screen
and I also noticed that when I install any new application it is not added to the start screen automatically as usual
what's wrong ?
