Some start menu shortcuts are missing on Windows 10
TheMaster
Not sure when this started happening but some time after upgrading to Windows 10 I noticed some of my search results were not showing up with what I wanted. For instance, when I searched for Word 2013 or Skype, I did not get any results. I decided to investigate and tried rebuilding the indexing file and moving it to a new location but it made no difference.
So I checked my start menu and manually tried looking for the shortcuts only to discover that they strangely weren't there. Also notice how some of my tiles have suddenly disappeared.
Strangely enough when I browse the actual location of the start menu folder, the shortcut for Word and Powerpoint are there.
I've checked that none of the folders/shortcuts are hidden or read-only and that the files/folders have sufficient permissions via the Security tab.
Any ideas how to solve this?

At the current moment the start menu is limited to 500 entries in the database. This also affects search and Cortana as they both rely on that DB.
There is currently no known fix other than going to your start menu folder and deleting links and folders to apps not used.
Edit: On 2015-09-19 they released a technical preview that lifted that limit to 2048, which is nice. It should be pushing out to Insiders and will trickle down to standard users soon enough.
