So? Lots of things are in the All Apps menu. That's what it is for. You wouldn't rip out all the phone lines in your home just because you don't use a land line.
i found a way yesterday..
but it caused the Start Menu to fail..
and trying to restore caused errors.. eventually leading to boot problems.
i had to restore to an old System Image..
i'd leave Cortana & Shell Experience alone.
those 2 are needed for the Start Menu and overall Windows stability.
Thanks for everyone's help though :)
FYI: you can disable Cortana from starting.. but DO NOT try to remove it.
- if you're curious where the Start Menu shortcut is located.. drag the Cortana "All Apps" shortcut to the desktop. you'll see a file named "@Microsoft...." .. if you search that name in the registry you'll find it under Packages..
I suspected something like that may happen. When you futz with the OS it's hard to tell what's important or what the OS can repair/correct, and once you break something more futzing usually just makes it worse.
I do not believe that you can completely remove it. I just hid it , I have no use for it.
