  1. Hilarious that such bugs make it to release and that they’re always so complicated to fix. It shows a real lack of polish and concern for the user experience. It shouldn’t be that hard Microsoft. But that’s Windows for you.
    Thanks anyway.

  7. Working perfect. Just want to point out that ShellExperienceHost.exe is called StartMenuExperienceHost.exe in newer versions of windows

  9. Keep getting this..

  14. I could not do step 6, since ShellExperienceHost.exe was not listed.
    “6. Right click on ShellExperienceHost.exe and choose end Task.”
    I did all the other steps, however, and ms-resource:AppName/Text was successfully removed.
    Thank you!!!!
