    Make sure you download any office installer from the official Microsoft Website, because you may end-up installing some spam version of fake Office installer which can ruin your system.

    Do you have the setup of the Office Student version?

    If yes then run it try to repair or reinstall the Office and see if that eliminates these two icons.

    Here's the story. There are issues with Microsoft and ITS WEBSITE. I've been having an issue with Edge for days and finally someone got back to me telling me its Microsoft not me.

    This is part of the problem. Those 2 "mutant" icons in my Start Menu came from when I had to reinstall Office. NOW they wont go away.

    How can ypu make them go away??

    This morning I did a Restore and am having a HUGE issue with Office Student so I can do anything.

    this is a mess.
