app link

The app link tag covers issues related to broken or missing shortcuts for Windows Store apps, particularly on the Metro/Start screen. Common problems include tiles that open the Store instead of the app, missing icons after installing third-party tools like Classic Shell, and difficulties uninstalling or reinstalling apps when the Store reports them as already installed. Users seek ways to repair app links, restore missing tiles, or force a clean reinstall from the Store. Troubleshooting often involves resetting the app, using PowerShell commands, or modifying the Start menu layout to fix broken associations between tiles and their corresponding applications.
