Hi Carey42,
Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
Have you tried right clicking on the application in question and selecting Pin to Start from the list of options? If this doesn't work, or if no such option is available, could you please try the following:
- Right click on the file you want to pin to the start screen and select Create shortcut.
- Press the Windows Key + R to open Run and type the following into the dialogue box:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
- Cut the file shortcut which you created in step one and paste it in the Start Menu folder which you opened in step two.
- Now go to the start screen and press the CTRL+TAB keys together to show the All Apps page.
- Here you should see the file shortcut you created earlier. Right click on the file shortcut and click on Pin to Start from the list of options.
Please note: If the shortcut doesn't appear in the All Apps screen try to move the shortcut from the Start Menu folder to the Start Menu\Programs folder.

Hi Carey42
Thanks for your sharing and feedback about shortcut issue about Java JRE.
According to your description sounds like it is an installation behavior of Java JRE, if it is true I am afraid that there might be nothing we could do about this.
We suggest you post same issue to Oracle community
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
Regards
D. Wu
