My shortcuts won't show in Start Menu

[BoogerPEZ]

I don' know what happened. Today, I was using file explorer and then went to my start menu and none of the shortcuts were there. I clicked on the programs folder and it was empty too.

So I checked the "windows/start menu" folder and every shortcut (*.lnk) is still there. Clicking on the start menu links through file explorer opens the program/service like normal.

I've tried to use the duplicate command in Resco Explorer (These duplicates won't show up in the start menu). I've also used properties to copy the program link information and then pasted that into a new duplicate (This also doesn't show in the start menu).

The only thing that works is by copying a shortcut of the program itself onto the start menu through my Windows Explorer viewing My Device through Active Sync.

How can I easily get all my shortcuts back?
