Got a count of 315, won't change after removing links/folders from both locations, any idea what could be wrong?

Great tips. I had 639 links. After removing various junk, I was down at 483 and everything seems to work properly.

The Get-Startapps cmdlet does not exist in Windows 10 version 1809. Is there an alternative?
