I just used Start Menu Organizer to put all my apps into categories. Then I noticed that a bunch of stuff got missed and appears in other parts of the start menu (rather than being in categories).

I checked both of my Start menu folders though
Code:
C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs


And sure enough, Start Menu Organizer did move everything, as expected. There's a ton of stuff left over stuff though. Maybe things from the Windows app store(??) Do you guys know if it's possible to move those other "ghost links" ?

Alas, if you look at the requirements in the Start Menu Organizer page, it does not claim compatibility with Windows 10.

This is because in Windows 10 Microsoft went from a Start Menu structure based only on physical folder hierarchies to an hybrid of that with an internal database.

The only reason I haven't removed the Start Menu Organizer yet from the Winstep web site is because it still does its job in the hierarchical part of the Start Menu and also because it still works as intended with the NextSTART replacement Start Menu of Winstep Xtreme.
