Remove ms-resource Start Menu Entry

In my experience, removing the ms-resource start menu entry has proven to be a beneficial solution.

Troubleshooting Steps to Remove Unwanted Start Menu Entries

If you’re facing the annoyance of unwanted start menu entries, here are some troubleshooting steps to help you remove them:

1. Use the Windows Search feature to locate the application or shortcut you want to remove from the start menu.

2. Right-click on the unwanted entry and select “Open file location” to navigate to its location on your computer.

3. Once you’ve located the file, right-click on it and select “Delete” to remove it permanently from your system.

4. If the unwanted entry is a universal Windows platform app from the Microsoft Store, you can uninstall it by right-clicking on the app in the start menu and selecting “Uninstall”.

5. If the unwanted entry persists even after deleting the file or uninstalling the app, it could be due to a glitch or software bug. In such cases, you can try using PowerShell to remove the entry. Open PowerShell as an administrator, and use the Remove-AppxPackage command followed by the package name or the app’s full name to uninstall it.

Remember to exercise caution when deleting or uninstalling files, as removing system files or deleting the wrong entries may cause issues with your operating system. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable with performing these troubleshooting steps, it’s always a good idea to seek assistance from a knowledgeable professional or contact Microsoft customer support.
