Hi all,
Came across a strange issue on Windows 8.1 Enterprise with Update.
I create Start Menu shortcuts for all users by copying links to the default Start Menu. Those shortcuts all have special icons.
When I view them under “All Apps” they look perfectly fine, as soon as I pin them to the Start Screen though, they all end up with the IE icon.
The shortcut is still valid. Right clicking on the tile and selecting “Open file location” brings me to the correct lnk file which again shows me the correct icon. It’s just the tile which seems to be broken.
I have already heard of one who sees the same behaviour on his Windows Phone 8. Some of his tiles, which he pinned himself, look like Windows Store, although they are links to other apps.
I was able to reproduce that behaviour in two separate environments.
Has anyone seen this before? I’m trying to deploy a custom Start Screen layout to all the users, doesn’t look very pretty, if there are 30 IE tiles on the Start Screen. ;)
Thanks.
David
