Delete ms-resource:AppName/Text entry in Windows 10 Start Menu

ms-resource:AppName/Text

Some Windows 10 users have reported seeing ms-resource: AppName / Text A mutant / unauthorized entry in the Start menu after upgrading to later versions of Windows 10. In this article, we describe what this element consists of and how to eliminate it.

Method 1: Using PowerShell

  1. Open PowerShell as administrator.

To do this, press the Windows key + R, type “powershell” in the Run dialog box, and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

  1. Type the following command and press Enter:
Get-AppxPackage -all *HolographicFirstRun* | Remove-AppPackage -AllUsers

This command will first get a list of all the app packages that contain the word “HolographicFirstRun” in their name. Then, it will remove all of those app packages for all users.

  1. Restart your computer.

Method 2: Manually deleting the TempState folder

  1. Open File Explorer.

To do this, press the Windows key + E.

  1. Navigate to the following folder:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState

This folder contains a temporary file that is used by the Start Menu.

  1. Delete the TempState folder.

To do this, right-click on the TempState folder and select “Delete”.

  1. Restart your computer.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here are some additional tips:

  • If you are not comfortable using PowerShell, you can also try manually deleting the TempState folder. However, this is a more advanced technique, and you should only do it if you are comfortable working with files and folders.
  • If you have any other problems with the Windows 10 Start Menu, you can try searching for help online or contacting Microsoft support.
