How to get rid of Get rid of ms-resource:appDisplayName "bug" ?

Hi Exnor,

I found another thread that handled the same issue as yours. Neuperlach has shared a batch file or a solution that has worked for him and has also helped several community members regarding the ms-resource:appDisplayName issue. Please check his response from this link.

Let me know how it turns out so we can further look into the case.

Regards.

Hi Vanessa,

As you can see i was participating on that particularly thread and already tried that and the other suggestions (except a full reinstall or reset or anything extreme like that) and none of them worked.
Then someone on that thread suggested that we (the consumers) that were experiencing this problem and were using final builds not the insiders ones to post the question on this part of the forum and so i did.

So far i have not found a working solution for what looks like a simple UI bug, but i'm not a MS engineer so what do i know? 

Thank you.

Yes, I've noticed that you were on that thread. I was just making sure that the suggested resolution has been tried so we can proceed with other options. I actually bumped into a thread that the same issue has been addressed by running the Start Menu Troubleshooter. However, the link seems broken. Please bear with me as I further check on this issue so I'll be able to provide you with resolution.

Will get back to you in 2days. Thank you for your patience.

Ok... i'm not going anywhere. If you can point to me a working solution i will be very grateful (and i assume other MS constumers with the same problem will also be grateful).

Thank you

Again on the mentioned script a side note that you should have warned... this script REINSTALLS all previous removed Windows APPs (Apps removed via the command powershell -Command "& {Get-AppxPackage name_of_app | Remove-AppxPackage} ....

I think a warning would be nice...

Thank you.

A fix that does work for this problem is to create a new local user account and copy your data, files and settings over to that new account. Its easy to try to see if that works for you. Create the new account, logon and check the Start Menu to make sure that the "ms-resource:appDisplayName" link at the bottom of the Start Menu is gone before taking the time to copy your stuff to the new account. I wish I knew another way, but I don't. I have four users on the same machine and each user was impacted in the same way when the computer was updated to version 1803 build 17134.167

You can change the new local user account to a MS account if that is what you use.

Since this bug is an annoyance and does not impact the use of your computer, you can wait to see if MS eventually fixes their mistake.

I'm sorry but that is not an acceptable solution!  Create a new account and import all user data from another account just to fix what is (from an user perspective) a UI bug? And since this "bug" appears in every account in the affected machines that would require doing the same process on every one of the local accounts... no that is, for me at least, not acceptable .

I appreciate your input but i refuse to do that for what appears to be a simple "bug" that Microsoft continues to ignore (yes i am aware that i'm not the only one with this "bug" on the start menu/bar/whatever MS calls it now).
