Why Can't I Access These Start Menu Shortcuts?

    After upgrading to Windows 10, I found that Microsoft has locked access to some of its default shortcuts in the Start Menu. So apps like Skype, 3D Viewer, and more (ones that come default with the OS), block access to the root folder.

    However, some other apps I have installed are now adopting this same behavior as well.

    I need to edit the properties of both the NVIDIA Control Panel shortcut and Adobe's Notification Manager shortcut. But for some reason, they have adopted this same "locked" state of Microsoft's OS shortcuts. And I can't access/change them (they shouldn't be this way)

    What is causing an inability to edit/move them as needed?
