I'm trying the latest Windows 10.
I installed Office 2007, to see how it works.
The problem is the shortcuts are named all like "Microsoft Office Word 2007", "Microsoft Office Excel 2007" and if I add the tile to the menu it gets shortened to "Microsoft Office", for EVERY program.
So I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office, I renamed the shortcuts, but still it does not show the updated file name. Rebooted countless times, still can't get the new file name.
Then I added a new shortcut in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, but still does not show.
Do I need to run some command to reindex the start menu?
I tried to restart explorer.exe but still my custom shortcuts aren't showing...

There is a good chance what you describe is actually a bug. If you create a new user do the shortcuts appear? – Ramhound – 2015-05-04T10:51:56.900
I'm downloading and installing the latest build to see if this has been fixed, or not – Magnetic_dud – 2015-05-04T11:06:52.603
The edited shortcut is shown after upgrading to build 10074, but it's not possible to create a new one. – Magnetic_dud – 2015-05-04T11:47:34.203
This indeed sounds like a bug. You should report it. – Ramhound – 2015-05-04T11:48:25.313
