The only solution I found that refreshes the start menu icons is to change the link files (*.lnk) 'last update date' attribute.Ĭreate a 'RefreshMenuIcons.bat' file containing: offįor /R '%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\' %%f in (*.lnk) do copy /b '%%f'+, '%%f' 1>nulįor /R '%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\' %%f in (*.lnk) do copy /b '%%f'+, '%%f' 1>nul Press and hold or right-click any empty space on the taskbar, and then select Taskbar settings.
