Post subject: | Some software not showing up in "all programs" |
I just did a fresh install of windows and am having a strange problem. Some apps aren't showing up under "all programs" in classic shell. For example, I have spotify installed as well as the Corsair Utility Engine, but here's what I see. The pinned software on the left only intentionally has 3 items on it currently, I'm adding more as I set up the fresh install of windows. The software is indeed installed and in the Program Files or Program Files(x86) folder respectively. Windows 10 home fresh install as of a couple hours ago, so other software freshly installed. Just reinstalled Classic Shell, no luck. I am aware I can navigate to the .exe in the program files folder, but I'd rather not have to do that. Hopefully you guys can tell me how to fix this! Thanks <3. Long time user of classic shell (since early windows 8) and love it. |

Classic shell uses the same folder that is used in windows 7 C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and C:\Users\<Enter Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs If the program doesn't add a shortcut to one of these folders, it wont get added to classic shell. This was less of a problem in the windows 7 days, but since neither windows 8, nor 10 use this folder; many newer programs, don't bother with making their own shortcuts. Sadly creating your own shortcuts is the only real solution. |
