Hi,

I'm Benedict, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'm here to help and work with you in your concerns.

This might be some sort of unfinished updates or unhidden system file. Kindly check if there are any pending updates to install in the Windows Update settings or restart your computer few times.

But if that doesn't help, please try running System File Checker. This will inspect all of the important Windows files on your computer, including Windows DLL files. If System File Checker finds a problem with any of these protected files, it will fix or replace it.
1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
2. Type the command below and then press Enter.
sfc /scannow
3. Restart your computer.

If the said issue still exists, kindly follow the possible solutions provided in the links below that had also addressed similar problem as you:

From time to time, Microsoft will insert a placeholder icon in the Start menu. The icon doesn't do anything - not yet, at least. Depending on Microsoft's internal plans, which aren't public knowledge, the placeholder may be replaced with an actual app or it may disappear altogether.

Such things sometimes appear in copies of Windows where the user at one time tried to obtain an update manually, rather than letting Windows Update deliver it on its own. Microsoft presumes that people who choose to update manually are advanced users who can handle occasional experimental code.

Whatever, just leave the icon alone. It's not doing anything harmful.

Okay, I see. Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. That icon won't cause any harm to your computer. You could leave it there and the upcoming Windows updates will take care of that.
