My V2 apps pinned to Start have both icon and title, on both my Win 10 and Win 11 machines.

Some of the Start menu and taskbar "replacement" tools don't support Microsoft Store or MSIX-based apps. They only work with traditional EXE programs, or MSI-based installers. Just as some applications don't let you point to Store or MSIX-based apps as helpers.

lphilpot Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 ClassicShell was a biggie, very popular, when Windows 8 and the Metro UI hit but the original dev moved on. I think it's been picked up by someone else. Microsoft has used their SOP on the Start menu since: Make it just barely good enough (to kill off the competition) but no better than absolutely required.

Vhenzor Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 If you install the app from the Microsoft store instead the correct size will appear.
