Can you look in those two folders, you should find it there & unpin it.

Code: 
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

1) that should be named "Windows Tools" now

2) what if you go into both directories and try to upin it from start there:

Code: 
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Code: 
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

enable hidden Administrator account, and replace your start2.bin with the one from that user profile...

I tried them bro. I backed up original start2.bin and start menu shortcuts. Replaced them. Nothing changed.
I made a lot of tweak (incl. context menu tweaks), one of them causes that problem.
