Windows 10 : Start menu items will not remain sorted by name after renaming

Hello !
I'm using windows 10 buid 1511
I have a strange issue :
When I install a new program , a shortcut is created on start menu , and this shortcut is located correctly according to first letter , for example "Adobe Photoshop CC" , is located under "A" section on start menu.
But if I rename this shortcut to "Photoshop CC" , the shortcut remain under "A" section and will not go under "P" section as it should be.

There's no option to refresh or re-arrange items on start menu.

How can I resolve this problem ?

Thank you !

It's the same problem. with that build.       

Actually , I've found a command on internet that claim to resolve the issue :

On PowerShell :

Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppXManifest.xml"

But it's a strange situation with this command :

I have 3 Pc's with identical windows 10 and softwares. Both have the same problem with start menu.

When I have executed this command :

1) On the first Pc the problem is resolved instantly.

2) On the second Pc doesn't function at all , and display a message that I should close first ShellExperienceHost application.

3) On the third Pc , when this command is executed , the start menu is damaged. All the items are displayed without icons , and with strange names that are similar to web links. and nothing happens when clicking.

Maybe there's a safer method to resolve this problem ?

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The issue could have happened due to some file corruptions. I would request you to perform a SFC scan and check if it helps.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

 

Perform SFC(System file Checker) scan and see if it helps.

a: PressWindows key + X.

b: SelectCommand Prompt(Admin).

c: TypeSFC / scannow and hit enter.

Sorry , but I don't think there's a corruption.

I've made another test :

- I have formatted my pc , and re-installed windows 10 .

-I've made all the updates.

- After I have renamed a shortcut on start menu.

- The problem that I've described appear . so the start menu is not sorted alphabetically.

After that I've done a sfc/scannow but everything is OK.
