  • TileIconifier

    Creates tiles for most Windows 8.1 and 10 start menu icons

    Allows you to edit nearly all icons of apps pinned to the Start Menu. Can be downloaded from here, via Github. The only way I found to edit Folder shortcuts pinned to the Start Menu is to expand the Start Menu to fullscreen by going to Settings > Personalization > Start > Use Start full screen, then pressing the Start button, going to All Apps (see image) at the very top left, scrolling down to T > TileIconify, opening the dropdown menu, rightclicking the new Custom Shortcut, and Pin to Start. Simply going to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TileIconify\Custom Shortcuts and trying to Pin to Start did not work for me, as the option to Pin to Start didn't even work.
