Question
I have just lost my Windows links in the Start menu - those to Windows Defender, DVD Maker, Meeting Space etc. Apart from working through a list and having to put the links back manually, is there a quicker way that won't upset my PC too much?
Answer
- Download the default shortcuts from here.
- Unzip and extract the contents to the following folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
