After the latest update I no longer see the 'Open file location' in the context menu for start screen tile.
I want to rename some but have been unable to did so.
Where might I find the shortcut in Explorer so I can rename these tiles???

Which tiles do not have Open file Location?
Just open File Explorer, select show hidden items in the "View" tab , and go to these folders:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
I already checked the Start Menu locations and they're not there.
These tiles are web sites that I pinned to Start in Edge.
I tried pinning this page, then using Ultra Search(which searches the MFT(Master File Table)) to find it, and it couldn't
I have Open file location on the right-click of most Tiles, click More to get it.
Do your have 'Open file location' on web page tiles that you pint to Start?
I can't read what the image says even at a very large view, too blurred.
Web page URLs are not the same as installed program's executable files or shortcuts to them. I only have to double-click the URLs I save to get the Browser to open to that location. From what I can make out of the posted image, I have to say that I haven't used that new feature of Creator's Update [actually an Upgrade over the previous version]. Looks like it would be handy to put everything back into the Tiles somewhat like Win8.0.
For a work around, you could create a bookmark(favorite) in IE11, go to C:\Users\UserName\Favorites\Links, and then copy the shortcut that is created,
place it in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and give it the name you want.
It will then show up in the All Apps column, then right click that and pin it to start. It will open up using your default browser.
