http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/29/windows_10_bug_alert_start_menu_breaks_512_entries/

Start menu shortcuts are still shortcut files placed in the same special locations as previous versions of Windows, but the Start menu app appears to be driven by a database on which some optimistic Microsoft coder has placed a limit of 512 entries.

Whoopsie...

Not sure if you need to be a pathological app hoarder to encounter this, or if MS eats up a significant chunk of those 512 entries for their own.

New "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - not Bill Gates.
Why do they continue to put these silly limits in GUI elements in Windows??

"NTFS v134.2zp can address 2^16 wekabytes! (But don't put more than 512 folders on the Start Menu.)"

:-/

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Ah, ha ha ha
Although 512 is a lot, I'm sure some percent of people will hit that limit.
