well, for sure it's from the anniversary update. I did a system restore to before it. reinstalled a few of the easy programs, then reinstalled the anniversary update and lo and behold, the links are dead again. dang it (you can increase the level of that...)! I tried deleting the file you suggested ...

no change to the OS drive letter, still C. and I see no way to repair the shortcuts, properties doesn't show a way to re-link them. it's also interesting when I click on what should be a shortcut link in the folder, nothing happens. no error message, no action that says it's looking, nothing. "...

hmmm, what's odd is that not just some of them, ALL of them are bad. while the update might have moved some folders, though I'm not sure how/why, to move them all. even the microsoft office links are missing. any suggestion on a way to rebuild the links in the folders without having to reinstall the...

hibernating on it's own after non-use. win key will make the menu go away but it will still come back up - I can hear that odd noise it makes when you normally press on the win key (you are talking about that side button on the frame, right??) as it flashes the menu on and off. I mostly use it in ta...

On my surface 3, windows 10, windows 7 style, since the last few updates to classic shell. when I first wake it up from hibernate, sometimes but not always, it will start to cycle through showing the start menu as if I clicked on it or the side button. sometimes it's a few times, sometimes it's on s...
