<div class=3D"entry-content">
<p>The Windows 10 Start Menu is not as customizable as it used to be in W=
indows 7. While the part on the right (the tiles) can be easily removed and=
added by right-clicking them, the traditional part on the left (folders an=
d shortcuts) is not customizable any more. In Windows 7, you could right-cl=
ick on a shortcut and then delete or rename it. Not any more in Windows 10.=
</p>
<p>There are tricks to modify the Windows 10 Start Menu shortcuts anyway. F=
ind the instructions to do so below:</p>
<p><strong>Traditional Applications</strong></p>
<p>The traditional applications (like Word) still create their Start Menu i=
tems in the file system under:</p>
<p>C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs<=
/p>
<p>So you can go there in File Explorer and delete or rename stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Modern Apps</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, Modern Apps don't store their shortcuts in the file syste=
m. They store it in the registry and databases. The best way to get rid of =
a Start Menu item is to uninstall the program. So if you don't want to have=
"Calculator" in the Start Menu, uninstall it.</p>
<p>But some Modern Apps cannot be uninstalled as this is blocked by Microso=
ft. For some of those, you can use Power Shell or you can at least <a href=
=3D"https://basics.net/2017/07/05/windows-10-how-to-disable-system-apps/">d=
isable them by renaming the folder in the SystemApps</a> directory. Renamin=
g the folder does not remove the Start Menu item, though.</p>
<p>For 3 items in the Start Menu, none of the above methods worked, I could=
not get them removed from the Start Menu:</p>
<p>Connect (Miracast)<br>
Mixed Reality Portal<br>
Wireless Display Media Viewer</p>
<p>So the solution I found is the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Change a flag in the Apps database for those packages to make them unin=
stallable</li>
<li>Uninstall those packages with Power Shell</li>
</ul>
<p>This will remove the items from the Start Menu. Here are the steps in de=
tail.</p>
<ol>
<li>Download the tool PSEXEC from Microsoft/Sysinternals: <a href=3D"https:=
//technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx" target=3D"_blank"=
rel=3D"noopener">https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb897553=
.aspx</a><br>
Unzip it to your hard disk</li>
<li>Download the tool SQLLite Browser from: <a href=3D"http://sqlitebrowser=
.org/" target=3D"_blank" rel=3D"noopener">http://sqlitebrowser.org/</a><br>
Choose "Portable App" and install it</li>
<li>Start a cmd box as Administrator</li>
<li>CD to the directory where PSEXEC.exe sits</li>
<li>Type<br>
<strong>psexec.exe -i -s -d cmd.exe</strong><br>
to start a second cmd box with system rights</li>
<li>In that second command box, CD to the directory where SQLLiteDatabaseBr=
owserPortable.exe sits</li>
<li>Type<br>
<strong>SQLiteDatabaseBrowserPortable.exe</strong></li>
<li>Once SQLLite is open, click on the =E2=80=9COpen Database=E2=80=9D butt=
on at the top</li>
<li>Choose the following database:<br>
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository\<br>
<strong>StateRepository-Machine.srd</strong></li>
<li>Now, click on the =E2=80=9CBrowse Data=E2=80=9D tab, and change the tab=
le to =E2=80=9CPackage=E2=80=9D</li>
<li>Look under the PackageFullName column for the following 3 packages<br>
<strong>Windows.MiracastView</strong> _6.3.0.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyew=
y<br>
<strong>Microsoft.Windows.HolographicFirstRun</strong> _10.0.15063.0_neutra=
l_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy<br>
<strong>Microsoft.PPIProjection</strong> _10.0.15063.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n=
1h2txyewy</li>
<li>For all 3 packages, set the column <strong>IsInbox to 0</strong></li>
<li>Click on "Save changes"</li>
<li>Now start <strong>Power Shell</strong> as Administrator</li>
<li>Run the uninstallation for the 3 apps<br>
<strong>get-appxpackage</strong> -allusers | where {$_.name -like =E2=80=9C=
*mira*=E2=80=9D} | remove-appxpackage<br>
<strong>get-appxpackage</strong> -allusers | where {$_.name -like =E2=80=9C=
*holographicfirstrun*=E2=80=9D} | remove-appxpackage<br>
<strong>get-appxpackage</strong> -allusers | where {$_.name -like =E2=80=9C=
*ppiprojection*=E2=80=9D} | remove-appxpackage</li>
</ol>
<p>Now all three entries in the Start Menu should be gone. Of course, you c=
an also uninstall other non-uninstallable apps with this method.</p>
<p>Remember, that this is not an official way supported by Microsoft, but i=
t worked fine for me.</p>

<p>Thanks, has been working for me (and many other machines around me)=
. Recently however, I had to re-install windows, tried but got stuck at ste=

It doesn't open a second cmd box and after many minutes on "Connecting with=
PsExec service on [computer name]..." says<br>
"Error establishing communication with PsExec service on IX:<br>

<p>I've tried numerous things including checking sfc and restoring health v=

<p>Thanks to this Tip. Good job. I have Apply this solution on my own =

<p>It=E2=80=99s really STUPID of Microsoft team to impose this mixed realit=

<p>Hey!</p>
<p>After you do this another app shows up in start menu called mixed realit=
y viewer or sth like that. To remove it you need to do another command in p=
owershell:</p>
<p>get-appxpackage -allusers | where {$_.name -like =E2=80=9C*3dviewer*=E2=
=80=9D} | remove-appxpackage</p>

<p>There is a much easier solution to remove the Wireless display view=
er and other stubborn shortcuts without doing crazy stuff. Just make a new =
folder in the start menu and call it anything. Move the start menu items in=
to that folder, then delete the folder. Problem solved. No crazy registry o=
r SQL hacks!</p>

<p>Great Tutorial!<br>
Thank you very much indeed.<br>
Only thing is that it seems to me that there is some confusion between pack=
