Visual studio 2015 missing start menu icons Windows 8

We are currently trying to deploy Visual studio 2015 Professional across our school in a windows 8 domain environment. Visual studio installs fine but its shortcut are missing from the start menu. and the search feature does not find visual studio. The program can be ran directly.

I have found some of the shortcuts in: "C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Visual Studio Tools" however these are only for the command prompt tools and not for visual studio itself.

Is there anywhere else the shortcuts may be?

I found the same thing happened with my installation under Windows 7

Instead of the shortcuts being inside the Visual Studio 2015 start menu programs directory, I found them one level up in the parent directory - somewhere I did not expect them to be.

As it turns out our domain has a script that deletes any shortcuts not in a sub folder - That would explain why the shortcuts are disappearing!

We have added a line to our install script to place the shortcut in the sub directory.

The installation move the shortcut for visual studio 2015 outside the 2015 folder to be consistent with other Microsoft applications.

Type: Windows key to use "Search for programs and files", type "Visual Studio" to open VS quickly.

or

Type: Windows key , click All programs, then click "visual studio 2015"
