Problem description: I stumbled on a buy/download minecraft icon in the "at a glance" tiles. I tried to move it. The start menu disappeared and the icon was stuck to the bottom of my taskbar in front of everything. I rebooted the machine and now the icon is stuck in the upper-left corner of the start menu proper. It's obscuring two apps and one windows thing I never used.

Attempted fixes: I unchecked lock the taskbar, rebooted the computer, tried to click the download icon to get a response, and seriously considered the fixes that called for editing the registry. But the reg-edit fixes were meant for programs that had the wrong icon show up and this is a download link, not a program. I don't own Minecraft thru the Windows Store and haven't had it installed on any machine since before it was bought by Microsoft. An attempt to perform the systems file check resulted in cortina opening up Microsoft edge.

Recent changes: My recent changes were unpinning or moving icons from my "At a glance" bar because it was cluttered and unorganised. Frankly, I'd rather do without these tiles.

Edit: I got the cmd prompt to work and ran the system file check, no problems found.

Edit 2: I restarted it twice. The second time was to install a printer. The second restart did the trick v0v.
