How to remove the modern application icon of the uninstalled program from Win10

  
Win10 Technology Preview's new mashup start menu brings us a full desktop operating environment that is more suitable for traditional PCs. However, it also has a lot of problems, for example, after clicking “All apps" in the Start menu, there will be many apps that have been purchased but not installed. I suspect that they are too blind to choose to uninstall directly, but after uninstalling, the icon is still "strong". And there is no such thing as "(installation)” So how can I completely clean up the icon of the uninstalled app? When we uninstall other Modern apps in the Start menu, the icon will not disappear immediately. Of course, we also have the corresponding method to completely clean them out of our desktop, let's take a look at the specific methods brought by Xiaobian!

1. Method 1: Logout or restart the system.
In fact, what we need at this time is to let the system "refresh" our operation results, we need to log off the system or restart the computer, after that the application icon will disappear completely.
Second, Method 2: Use the hidden start menu to remove.
In fact, in the new Start menu of Win10, there is also a right-click menu hidden. Just hold down the “Ctrl” and “Shift” buttons, then right-click in the empty space in the Start menu and select the last <; Exit Explorer”. At this time, in addition to the current window, the bottom taskbar, desktop icons and other windows will disappear

Then we use the combination of “Shift+Ctrl+Esc” to open the task manager, click on the above “ File ”—“Run New Task", then enter “Explorer.exe” and check the option to create this task with system administration privileges below, and then press “OK” or “ Enter key & rdquo; just fine. After the resource manager restarts, let's see if the icons are gone.

3. Method 3: Cut back to the start screen, delete, and then cut back.
We can try to temporarily convert the start menu to the start screen, then uninstall the unwanted applications in the start screen and convert them back. The advantage of this is that the uninstalled application can disappear immediately, and it may be easier to accept visually. The specific steps are as follows:
1 Right-click on the taskbar and select “Properties”. Then select the “Start” menu tab, remove “use ‘start & rsquo;menu instead of ‘start & rsquo;screen” in front of the check, click “OK” button;

2 At this point, the system prompts you to log out and log in again. Please pay attention to save the unfinished work, then click “Logout and change the settings , the system will automatically log out, then you need to log in again.
3 After logging in again, at this time we click the “Start” button again, &&quoquo;Familiar” the start screen will return, at this time we click the down arrow in the lower left corner of the screen, all purchased apps It will appear here. At this time, click ““Uninstall” in the menu that appears after right-clicking on the application you want to uninstall. We will find that it really disappears.
4 At this time, we will return to the desktop, or move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, the taskbar will automatically emerge, right click and select “property", and then switch back to the start menu mode.
5 At this time, we will find that the application that was just uninstalled at the start screen does not appear in the start menu. (The application that may be deleted will appear for a moment when it is just clicked, but the system will refresh it after a moment. Off), the problem is solved.
Postscript: Maybe friends will feel that this is too much trouble, but the current official has not given a solution. These similar problems have been raised by some people in Windows Feedback. I believe Microsoft will give you a reply later. Maybe we will see Windows10, which is more perfect and easy to use.
