I accidentally deleted my AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu directory; apparently though this is the directory Cortana uses to discover application shortcuts so you can search Cortana for an app.
How can I "discover" all the installed programs on my computer and add/create the start menu shortcuts? Obviously I prefer not to attempt this by hand.
I have Windows 10.

2I don't know the exact answer, but would it be possible to use something like Piriform Recuva to recover the missing directories and files? – spikey_richie – 2017-10-26T15:13:44.733
Add it as an official answer so I can upvote it and mark it for you, it's not..."perfect" but it made the job a lot shorter – Brian Deragon – 2017-11-08T15:00:21.140
