Quit a odd problem, as the shortcuts show up in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools" but they dont show from going through the control panel.. Any idea why and how can I fix it because google can't help me for this odd problem?

Hmmm I clicked Start, typed in Windows Tools, clicked it and it showed up all the icons fine.

I opened File Explorer and looked in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\" but Administrative Tools was not there.

In Windows 11, Adminstrative Tools is now called Windows Tools.

Try click Start and typing in Windows Tools then click on it. Do all icons show up?

If all icons still missing, try this link below that may help you to fix odd issue.

All the shortcuts are were there suppose tobe, but are just not showing up in the windows tools, going through the control panel

I tested StartAllBack in Windows 11 on VMWare Workstation, all Windows Tools icons showed up fine with Windows 7 start menu.

Try this may help you.

That wont work because all the shortcuts are in that location, or in the windows tools folder anyway and Ive tried creating a folder called Administrative Tools, but it wont let me create Administrative Tools folder ...
