How to Fix Windows 10 Pin To Start Menu Broken Chrome App Shortcut Icon
This is the steps to fix the broken app icon, when pinning a Chrome app onto the Windows 10 start menu.
- Right click the Chrome icon and choose More > Open file location
- Right click Google Chrome, choose Properties then press the Open File Location button
- Copy the chrome.exe file and paste it in the same location. Accept any administrator permission prompts. You should now have chome.exe and chome – Copy.exe. Rename chrome – Copy.exe to something better such as chromeApps.exe
