Loads of ms apps updated today, one of them ‘get office’. Now have two entries of ‘my office’ in start menu. How can I get rid of / hide one. One does nothing, the other launches it as normal. I tried right click uninstall on the one that does nothing but it doesn’t do anything. Looks a bit lame.
Unfortunately that only works for traditional programs or shortcuts. For modern apps or windows native/store driven apps they don’t appear in here. I even checked the users .... roaming start menu folder and no modern apps show up in here either. There seems to be no way to deal with this

Ah ok. Thank you
I will try the ccleaner as a last resort but I have tweeted Microsoft helps and it seems a widespread thing. So I think the onus is on them to address it. Just seen the same on my brother’s pc. Am a little way of ccleaner and using it. I wonder if a line in the registry can just be removed / edited to get the rid of the duplicate. It’s essentially dead as clicking on it does nothing.
Ok, tried ccleaner looking under tools to uninstall the extra one and annoyingly ‘my office’ only listed once here. So no fix there. Unless there is something in else within cleaner than can edit the start menu?
Ms really needs to address this.

Yeah, it's really frustrating me. Looks so unprofessional. I have tweeted both @Microsofthelps and also @brandonleblanc on this issue. Maybe to add momentum to this you wouldn't mind doing the same? Brandon is the senior program manager @ MS so maybe can make ourselves heard.
So far I have observed this on numerous machines. Our home computers, on my brother's and all the machines I've now seen at work this monring. So it's very widespread.
